First Full Day

Mon Aug 4

Today was the first full day on the ship after arriving late Sunday afternoon and getting settled in.

After breakfast it was time to load up on the buses for a brief city tour around Lyon that was back to the ship for lunch.

Following lunch and a brief rest we were off for a tour of a nearby 14th century medieval village that has been and is still in the process of being restored by the 90 residents that live there.

Prior to dinner there was a welcome reception in the lounge with champagne, Kir Royales, mimosa s and canapes, this was followed by a dinner of Chateau Briand and a cheese tasting. Needless to say you do not go hungry and you get an adequate amount of calories to keep your body satisified.

We have opted to just kick back and rest a little bit tomorrow and maybe wander the town rather than participate in the two tours that are available.

I will post some better pictures later, but your are a few of the ship so you could see the rough life we have.

There will be more pictures later of the ship but for right now I don't want to use up the internet time
