Day 9 - LAST SEA DAY!

Very cleverly, we arranged the pillows and folded bedspreads on the window sill, to block the VERY EARLY sun from coming in under the curtains.

Slept until 6am!

Hot sun on the balcony! Glorious! Tepid, low pressure shower first...not so glorious, but in the grand scheme of things...who cares? Soap still worked.

We are cruising south, probably 12 or so miles off the west coast of Canada. 

Sarah solved a problem for me...we were given our landing cards (customs/immigration) for Canada two days ago. How could I be absolutely sure I wasn’t going to be buying anything further before arriving in Canada? I couldn’t. But the form was signed, dated & handed back. So it WAS true at that time & place. I went with that. Sarah’s added argument (which would have become valid sometime, yesterday evening): We had left US waters & entered Canadian territory. 

We had a pairing lunch: Italian wines, this time. Thankfully, less food. Still lots of wine, though. 

Fog rolled in over the morning, so sitting on the balcony was a bit cool. A good reason for napping.

Tonight is our last “gala” night. We already ordered our last two dinners. Beef Wellington tonight. Curry, tomorrow.

We got back to our rooms to find it as usual (beds turned down, chocolates for gala night, news sheet & daily programme), PLUS, rose petals arranged to form a heart on each bed, around our daily programmes! How sweet is that? Our roses had become a little long in the tooth & they found a lovely way to reduce, reuse, recycle.

PS - sorry for the delay in posting...no internet, yesterday. When Gina left the ship, my account was closed...but it wasn’t fixed until late the day before. That seems to have the unintended result of losing my internet account. Oh, well. Back in Canada with internet via cell phone.
