19th November, 2017 Sailing the Mediterranran Sea from Malaga and then into the Atlantic Ocean to Santa Cruz, Tenerife

We again awake to another near prefect morning.   The ship has a full day and a half of sailing from Malaga, Spain through the Mediterranean before exiting into the Atlantic Ocean with the threat of a storm late this afternoon.

We choose to have a light breakfast as the Main Dining room is closed for one of the Highlights of the Cruise.  This is the day when the ship serves its Country Brunch with food from each of the countries visited, served with a full range of drinks.   It is not only a wonderful spectacle but the Ship's crew go to all lengths to make it a presentation extraordinaire .

Jeanette and I choose to have seat by the window by ourselves, to enjoy and celebrate our time together on a magical cruise.   We commence with Smoked salmon cooked in a variety of ways, followed by eggs benedict.

There are breads from around the world.  The carvery is just fantastic with baked ham and all sorts of sausage and meats.  Then the Salads and the sweets were to die for.   We conclude with a glass of champagne.

The afternoon has a range of activities, but we decide to visit the theatre for the movie.

Dinner tonight is in the Red Ginger Restaurant, which is one of our favourites of the 4 specialty restaurants.   Ken decides before hand to go to the gym and then have a drink.   We arrive on schedule at 7.15 pm and have a wonderful dinner sitting with 2 other couples from Canada and USA whom we haven't met previously.  

The entertainment is Paul Emmanuel , a gifted singer with a wide range.  We attend the last half of his show.

Ken decides to go up on deck at about 10.45pm following the show and he enjoys a late night coffee, with friends.  another excellent day.

  No doubt the beautiful Brunch is a highlight of the Cruise.   Simply amazing.
