Saturday October 17, 2015 At Sea between Sydney, Nova Scotia and Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island



Panoramic view off our balcony
We started our day as usual with coffee and breakfast in our cabin.  We hadn’t booked any tours for today so we didn’t have to hurry for anything.  On the shore opposite where we were docked there were houses and open spaces  There were a few taller buildings.

They have an affinity for fiddle music

The Carpet Bowling course
Around 1PM Gerri and I went to Deck 5 in the Piazza which is near the Internet Café and considered a Public area.  We can get on the internet somewhat faster in these areas.  We collected our emails and posted yesterday’s blog on Facebook. 

At 2:15 Gerri and I went to the Wheel House Lounge, where we played carpet bowling.  Carpet Bowling is a modified version of Bocce Ball.  There were six players and we played three rounds. I was amazed with the results, I won.  The prize was one of the highly sought after Princess lanyards.

The winning form


After the bowling I went ashore and found a geocache.  This find was my first in Sydney and my second in the province of Nova Scotia and my 5033rd find overall.











I met Gerri in the Skywalker on Deck 18 for hors d’oeuvres while Neva kept her appointment with the ship’s doctor.  Neva joined us later.  From this high point of the ship we could see much of the harbor.  There were a few small boats moving around but the harbor wasn’t very busy.  It may be the time of the year.  We watched a couple of wedding parties come and go taking pictures in a small park and marinas near the stern of the ship.







The end off the Cruise show
We saw the sunset and then went to our cabin at rest before dinner.  I had partaken of too many of the hors d’oeuvres and was uncomfortably full before finishing dinner,  After dinner we went to the Princess Theater and watched the International Cruise Show.  It feature 6 of the talented members of the crew and the ship’s orchestra.
 







We were late getting back to the cabin and went to bed shortly after wards.
