July 13 - Day 4

Matt had trouble sleeping again. Woke up at 4 and then he turned on the TV at 6 am, so sleep was over for me too. 

He got up and showered. I can’t face it yet but we both headed to the dining room to get breakfast. I wasn’t crazy about my breakfast. It was just ok. Food last night wasn’t as good as the food on the Alaska cruise either. Hoping this is just a blip. But it is ok. Just food. 

After breakfast, we went to a line dancing class. It was hard! I would not have had a chance to keep up except for the classes we have taken at home. We signed up for Pickleball today but it is not going to happen. It is so windy. There is no way to play. So instead, we headed to the Gym to try and get some exercise. The Gym is packed!! Matt decided to head back to the room to do some exercises but I stayed and got about 30 minutes on the Elliptical and did some mobility work. My body feels pretty devoid of energy.

I finally got showered. I wanted to blog but it is really tough. I bought Cellular at Sea for the day and it is worthless. I’m typing this on the Notes app on my iPad because I have no signal in the room and even when I do have one, I can’t connect through my hotspot. Not sure I’ll buy this again. 

After I finished showering, we went to a talk about the ports in Malta and Chania. I immediately fell asleep. I’m feeling jet lag today. The second my body stops moving, I want to sleep!

After the talks, we went up to Lido and ate a little lunch. Tonight, we have the dress up affair. Our plan is to eat early and go to the evening show. We got showered and in our nice clothes. Headed down to eat pretty early. Got our pictures done first. Joined two other couples and traded travel stories. It was a nice dinner and the food was good. My dessert was pretty weird but I’ve been sticking with sugar free options which are sometimes pretty odd. 

After dinner we went to the evening show - Fosse and Verdon - the duet that changed Broadway. It was so good. The dancers and singers were amazing and the show was put together really well with some actual footage from Fosse and Verdon along with the dancing and singing on stage. Really enjoyed it although i admittedly had a hard time staying awake. 

Got to bed around 9:45 and we are both really tired. We are going to get up early so we can get off the boat as soon as possible and try and beat the heat in Malta.
