7:00 am -- Patte and I meet at the Fitness Center for two classes -- Morning Stretch and Total Body Conditioning. The instructor is very good and unmerciful.
8:10 am -- we meet for breakfast at the Lido Restaurant -- it’s a little confusing since the self-serve portion of the buffet has been turned into a “let us serve you theme” for the first couple of days. It is a health safety issue --- we will be able to serve ourselves by day three. Breakfast is good - lots of choices.
It is raining in Bar Harbor but off we go undaunted. Since it is Sunday -- several shops are closed. We do find The Opera House Internet Cafe -- recommended by Patte and Dave’s son, Chris. It is the friendliest place I have ever seen. There is a sign as one enters that reads “Rest Rooms are for Everyone”.
There are lots of computers with a charge of $2.50 for 25 minutes. They serve coffee, sandwiches and a table by the computers which holds pastries that looked fabulous. Take what you want and tell the cashier -- it’s all on the honor system. We checked e-mail and wished we hadn’t had our huge breakfast on the ship --
After a walk in the rain around town --- it’s back to the ship in time for lunch --- and an afternoon at leisure.
Tonight is formal night -- Phil is wearing his new white dinner jacket -- he looks very much like a member of the original “Rat Pack”
Dinner is a challenge -- we did not realize that open seating means you better have made a reservation earlier in the day or you have to wait 30 minutes and be seated with people you don’t know. We objected to all of this and at least were able to get a table for four -- but we still had to wait.
After that the night perked up -- dinner was good and we went back to hear Nate in the Piano Lounge as he performed his Broadway Repertoire.
I fell into bed well past my usual bedtime --- Phil stayed up to gamble and won!
