Birthday Celebrations

Table decorations

Gotta love red lipstick - sharing my birthday with Garry.

Our first day out of Sydney also happened to be my birthday which I share with Bastille Day, the French national day – or they share with me – not sure which – and so my table buddies decided to dress ‘French style’ for dinner with striped shirts, neck scarfs and berets – except for Ray who turned up wearing a frog hat !!!!

 I was really spoiled –a beautiful necklace from my DH, flowers, lovely gifts, cards, well wishes and of course the best gift of all – lots of friendship, laughter and good times ….. the pictures tell the story.

Garry also had his birthday last week – so we shared the celebration. Princess supplied a delicious Chocolate Ganache cake – one for Garry and one for me, and the waiters gathered around to sing "happy birthday".. Since dessert was already served by the time the cake arrived – it was duly wrapped up in foil by our head waiter and taken back to the cabin to be enjoyed later.

We went off to the show and when we returned – there on the desk in our stateroom was another cake and card from the Captain…. Chocolate overload …. but a fabulous day.

 I went to bed counting my good fortune to be lucky enough to be sailing on this beautiful ship with these wonderful friends yet again.
