Another enjoyable day of walking with the Ramblers Worldwide group, this time in
and around Lisbon (above) one of the world’s most compact cities. A long walk
but well worth it as our local guide showed us sights not seen by most
tourists. Mind you they were in some wonderful places, such as underground
toilets, but we finished up on a high hill above the city with a great view.
Back on the ship quite a few
decided to take a dip into the pool or just enjoy a lazy hour under the sun. Tonight Lions, Rotarians, Inner Wheel and
other charitable organizations are meeting in the Morning Light Pub carrying on
Fred Olsen’s ethos of supporting those that help others.
We had breakfast this morning at the third
of Black Watch’s improved public areas, The Grill (below). Situated by the
swimming pool and formally a self service buffet area that has been totally
stripped out and now replaced with a full kitchen it offers “Premium Food”
(lobster, T-bone steaks) at dinner.
The poolside has now become an elegant
fine dining al fresco area. It has 80 covers and is popular with guests for
breakfast and lunch. Reservations for
dinner cost £20 as the menu is totally different from that a served in other
areas. Grilled foods and barbecues are also on offer but as the ship often
sales in cooler climates of the world the opening times are dependent on the
weather.
