Day 2 of the Weekend on a Boat

Morning time: time to wake up, step out on the balcony and enjoy the breeze of the Mediterranean. Next stop: Omelets. Having not enjoyed a hot breakfast for a month or so, the breakfast buffet, with made to order omelets was a huge hit. The boat had been traveling during the night, so after breakfast we were able to step ashore in the south of France. We visited a small port town across from Toulin, walked the streets, visited the market and got a small taste of the French lifestyle. The town was small, and very cute, full of colorful buildings and a friendly atmosphere. The port filled with sailboats was beautiful. I especially loved the environment of the town because of its laid back attitude.

(haha, don't ask what I was doing in this one, WHO KNOWS)

We spent several hours on shore enjoying the afternoon sun, and new culture. Deciding to take advantage of our free lunch waiting on the ship, some of us returned to the boat an hour or so early to grab some grub and enjoy the pools on deck.



The second night on the boat was "Formal Dinner". Time to dress up! We all showered after our sunshine filled day, and went down a few floors to our designated dining room table. Professional photos were taken of each group as they entered the dining room...

And of course we took some pictures of our own as well. We especially loved dinner time, not just because of the amazing plate selection, but we shared a table with a family of three from England. They were very "delightful" to sit with each night, and their 4 year old daughter was darling. It was fun to talk with them, and I think they equally enjoyed our presence. They were always eager to hear about our day, and what we had been up to.

After our formal dinner we spent the rest of the evening at a dance show as well as a short time at Jesters. The boat left France early that evening, expecting to arrive in Ibiza, Spain the next afternoon.
