Alicante today. The weather has been the warmest so far but we still ventured into town for an hour or so. The previous days' driving had taken its toll on my arm and I struggled from the start and after 20 minutes opted for sitting in the shade, but from what we saw it was a very attractive town. We returned around one and went to the afternoon screening of The Last Three Days, a fairly decent film with Russell Crowe. It finished in time for us to get to Deck 12 to watch our departure, accompanied by the deafening three blasts of the ships horn. Today's was performed by guests who had won a charity auction at night's show. I had been tempted to bid for the boys to do it but as the bidding exceeded a hundred dollars I had second thoughts. It finished at over three hundred dollars!
We braved the comedy act in the evening. It seemed to go down well with the audience but we couldn't get into it. We have been disappointed by the shows. They have consisted almost entirely of single performance acts, designed to appeal to the older audience. Last year there were more big productions and the single performances had broader appeal, like the Elton John tribute act. Maybe they are saving the best for the final couple of days.
Tracy was feeling a bit wiped out, so I took myself to the 80s night where Rock The Boat played until almost 1am. They are the best entertainment on the ship, a covers band that play as well as the bands they cover.
