France

We are now having 2 days in Bordeaux.Off on a trip to a winery and such this afternoon.  Weather is nice and fine and expected to be around 26 hopefully.

Everybody very angry about not getting in to Balboa yesterday.  We were held up by heavy seas and only got to Santander.  This is only 44 miles by road from Balboa.  Why they could not hire buses from there to take us to Balboa no-one knows.  We were docked for 6 hours so plenty of time. Many people had thought of the Guggenheim building in Balboa to be the highlight of their trip. Not happy Jan!!  The opinion was they were too mean to hire extra buses in Santander.

The  ensemble shows on board are not bad but all young people starting out in showbiz.  However the music and singing is so loud that it almost hurts.  The dancers do alot of arm waving as well.  There is a Russian couple however who do acrobatic - more contorsionist really- who are very good, even if some of the positions she gets herself into are a bit obscene!!

Trying not to eat too much, but a bit addicted to the icecream!
