We woke up to a VERY rocky ship. The Mistrals had arrived. The captain came on the intercom to explain that the Mistrals were winds that would go from a light 5 knots to gale force winds in under 5 minutes. According to the cruise director – Rachel, the weather has been HORRIBLE at every port we have docked the day BEFORE we landed. She said the Villefranche was SO bad two days ago, a different cruise ship could not even dock there and had to skip the port. The day before we landed in Marseille, it was very cold with high winds and we got a beautiful day!
It was a good excuse to stay in bed until 9:00am, then Patrick and I were off to find a nice sit-down breakfast together that did not involve a buffet line! After breakfast? Nap time of course! I finally got a great nap and when I woke up around noon, the sun was trying to come out! Peyton was in the camp and could not be dissuaded to come out. Patrick and Mom went to high tea at Paolo’s while I went to go look at the pictures Disney took of us while we were in the different ports and wandered around the boat. The sun was out by now, but the winds were still VERY heavy.
Mom and I went to the early show and enjoyed the illusionist and ventriloquist (Taylor Mayson). By the time we got out of the show, the seas were calm again and the sun was shining! Patrick and I went back to the room to pack everything up and then we down to our last dinner – depressing.
We ended the night at the hot tub watching Zorro on the Aerial screen. You can’t quite hear what they were saying with the bubbles from the hot tub, but it was even more fun making up the plot! We DRAGGED Peyton out of the club around 11:00pm and went to bed. We dock in Barcelona in the morning and head to London.
