I woke up at 4:45 this morning and just couldn’t get back to sleep.  Can you believe that - my first day of vacation and I am up before the sun.  I was thinking about several things I needed to do, one of which was email the kids and the grandparents to let them know we were here and see how everyone back home was doing.  Well, I wasn’t asleep, so I figured I might as well get some things done.  I wandered upstairs to the beverage station to get a cup of coffee and found out I was not the only one up before the sun.  Pete was happy to have coffee with me and then went for a run - there is one deck with a walkway all the way around it, one lap is about a third of a mile. 

    With some emails sent and a blog posted I decided to go to the 7:30 am Yoga class.  I would just like to point out that yoga is hard enough at the gym, but balancing is even harder when the floor below you is slowly swaying from side to side.  Fortunately I didn’t take anyone else down with me...  By the end of that, we were really hungry and wandered off to brunch at Luminere’s.  We both had Western Omelets and sausage.  Quite tasty.  We headed up to the pool to get a little vitamin D.  Competition for the good lounge chairs was fierce!  We finally ended up a deck up overlooking the pools for the rest of the morning.  The sky was blue, the sun was shining and there was a great breeze, which probably contributed to the fact that didn’t realize we were beginning to burn...  We left for lunch just in time and are just a little pink. 

    For lunch we headed back down to Parrot Cay to see what was available at the buffet.  The selection was limited, but the chef offered to make us some salmon and vegetables.  We had some crab claws, salad and cold mango soup while we were waiting.  We had a long talk with the head waiter about where to eat and how to pre-order our food.  We will be heading back to Luminere’s for breakfast and lunch tomorrow too. 

    After a lovely lunch, what else was there to do but take a nap?  I finally caught up on some sleep and Pete took a himself on a tour of the boat then sat on the verandah and read his book.  It was “formal” night on the cruise so we dressed up in our Sunday best (actually, a little nicer than my usual Sunday best!)  Since we had pre ordered dinner the night before, everything went much better.  For an appetizer I had Honeydew Melon with Prosciutto and Pete had Scallops with Risotto.  For dinner we had ordered Lamb Chops and Roasted Duck.  Both entrees were so delicious that they were gone before I got the camera ready.  We even had dessert - a strawberry sundae and creme brulee.  Fortunately the portions are rather small, so it is quite possible to eat an appetizer, salad, dinner and still have room for dessert.   It was a good day, I think I’ll sleep better tonight.
