Saturday, June 28 Seydisfjordur.
We went out on a town walk at 8:20 with light rain around, straight from the ship which had berthed a little while beforehand . This was a bonus as no zodiac. We walked past the church and down the rainbow street with the guide telling us about his life and his two jobs and a little bit about the town. At the end we split off from the group and walked to the waterfall which was very scenic with thousands of Lupines on either side of the stream. It was a steep climb up to a bridge over the stream and then a steep descent back towards the town, well worth the effort of the climb.
We entered the delightful church which had been rebuilt after a fire in the 1980s. We then wen into a wee gift shop which was in a converted garage and was run by an Italian lady, very enthusiastic. It was only the second day the shop had been open and it would then only remain open till the end of August.

Once back a board, I washed my hair in order to enjoy a shower without a lot of ships movement as the next 48 hours appeared to be a grim prospect. After lunch, I had a siesta before a lecture by Gabriella. on how the history of Britain has been affected by geology.
When we returned from our walk, we found the cabin decorated with balloons and towels and animal shapes wishing us a happy anniversary, 58 years of marriage. We were also promised a cake too and it was delivered to the suite around 4 pm

We then read for a while before going to an awful lecture by Josh completely on films and delivered with quite far too loud voice.
Before the recap and briefing we found bur delightful cake set up on a table cloth topped table in the cabin and we enjoyed a slice of this with a glass of champagne each
Then a recap and briefing at 5:15, no differing news on our new route home and no startling recaps
We then read in the suite until 7 pm when we went up to the Panorama Lounge for our cocktail and canapés and enjoyed talking to a group of Americans. After dinner in the restaurant we went up for Liars Club but found that this was presented by Verana and her voice drove me out after one round
