Re: Over 50s Club Manchester/Cheshire
Today we are in Almeria, Spain, it is a hot sunny day,First we stayed to play Ring toss on deck, then took courtesy bus into the town to see where it dropped off, took a photo while I was there, then we got courtesy bus back in time to play Carpet bowls.
After lunch we went via courtesy bus again into town, and walked up to the fortress to take some more photo's, on way back into town centre I noticed the temp said 33C in the sun, we had been going to walk back to the ship but realised there wasn't much shade to walk in, so caught the courtesy bus back. Have since played Deck Quoits and now it is time for the ship to leave this port.

Hello all, been a glorious day today, weather sunny and warm with calm seas.We put our clocks back last night, and have to do the same again tonight, then we will be back on same time as UK.
Started day with a shorter version of line dancing as room was needed to the church service.
Went to play virtual 100 pin bowling, later that was followed by golf putting, did some sudoku and crossword, then got chatting to a couple and had lunch with them, then went back to do ballroom dance lesson.
The couple were still where we left them, so chatted some more then we all went up to play shuffleboard. Had an ice cream and a cup of tea, and a naughty piece of cherry and almond cake.
Doing quick catch up on here, then need to get ready for a pre dinner show of wedding dresses.
Our cruise director is getting married in August and has bought no fewer than 19 wedding dresses, so is doing a show of them for us passengers to rate them and say which we think she should wear.

Hallo all, we are in Lisbon today and a nice day it is too, though cooler than we have had the last few days, it will be downhill from here as we make our way back to Southampton.Have been to Lisbon before, so we stayed on board this morning and played Bean bag boules, deck quoits, and Connect 4, also done Sudoku, crossword and another puzzle, and had a sit in the sun for a while.
After lunch we took courtesy shuttlebus into town, and had a walk around, noticed a temperature gauge in the shade reading 23C, and we walked back to the ship.
Glad you enjoyed dance Myrtle, looking forward to getting back into our dancing, and hoping we haven't forgotten all the sequence routines.
