Sunday 10th January: a very bumpy night, winds were, according to the captain storm force 12, but we slept through most of it. This morning the ship’s movement is a little less than yesterday — swell down from 6.5m to only 5m !

We are due to arrive in Lisbon tomorrow morning where we are supposed to have sunny skies and 16c.  We will see, it doesn’t look much like it right now.

Coincidence: we started talking to a very nice couple from near Oxford when we were checking in on Friday.  It turned out that they had been on the same QE cruise as us last year (but we hadn’t met then). At dinner we discovered that they are 2 of our table companions in the dining room for dinner ! 
Deserted decks today.
