At Sea Today was a sea day, so I slept quite late. I got some breakfast and then went to the library to update this blog. It was so busy! Every chair was filled and there were many seniors on the computers. It’s amazing how many have email. I couldn’t finish updating because my minutes on the internet ran out. After lunch I headed out to the pool. It was really sunny and hot. There was pool games going on which were quite amusing, since the people beside me were drunk and making loud comments. Also, there was Family Feud going on which Mom and I went to watch. It was so funny some of the answers people came up with. Since it was a formal dinner night I went to get ready after Family Feud. After dinner we went to the show which was an Elton John impersonator. He was really good. He sounded like him, even kind of looked like him. He also wore some of the crazy outfits. There was some really funny jokes added in. It was so good that Mom and I went to the later show for a bit, to see if it changed at all. The show wasn’t too different, so we left and went to bed.

Valletta Today we didn’t have any tours booked so I went for a walk around the deck this morning. Valletta is a very cool city. It looks like one big fortress. It is all mostly one color with the blue sky and water. There were water taxis that looked like mini viking ships. After my walk I went to the pool for a bit then had lunch. It was dead in the Lido so we had the place mostly to ourselves. Then we got off the boat to walk around town. It was extremely hot out, and since it was a Sunday there wasn’t much open. We did go to the city centre though, and looked at a church that wasn’t open. Also we went to some gardens that had a big terrace overlooking the water. It was very pretty. Since there wasn’t much to do, Steph and I went back to the boat while our parents went looking around some shops near where we were docked. We went to the pool for the rest of the afternoon. It’s kind of cool to be on the boat and have all the scenery around you. After dinner we went to the show which was That’s Vegas! It was the singers and dancers of the Noordam. The boat was rocking quite badly. I’m really glad I don’t get sea sick! Steph and I went to look out at the waves afterwards and they were huge. It kind of scared me even though I know nothing will happen. Still, it was quite cool to see the mist spraying everywhere. Then we went to our room and we’re now watching TV. I’ll probably go to bed soon.
