At sea

We had to turn our clocks ahead last night due to landing in France tomorrow, gave us a bit of a sleep in.  We had breakfast, then we went for a session with the chef and maitre de of the ship...they cooked a few dishes for the audience to see, with some humor etc. One was Italian and the other Indian, a little hard to understand at times lol. Then we had a tour of one of the many kitchens on the ship!  Lots of stainless steel, and most refrigerators were on wheels, so they are moved where they are needed!  The ship goes through 19 tons of food per day for 4000 passengers and 1500 crew!  It's crazy!  Our afternoon was spent by the pool soaking in the sun and watching a movie of the big screen !!
