Paul's birthday. Started the day with a sleep-in, then a really late breakfast in a really crowded Windjammer Buffet. Apparently late for us is actually proper wake-up time on a cruise :-)
Today there was a Walk for Wishes charity event - for each $10 you paid you got a Tshirt and to join in to an organised 1 mile walk around Deck 5 (on the walking track). Royal Caribbean donates the profits to the Make a Wish foundation and also helps sick kids and their families come on cruises. Paul didn't take part, but I did. They sold lots of Tshirts, but most people didn't come on the walk. I guess they figured that they had done their bit by making the donation, and I will admit, it was very hot.
The walk was done at quite a slow pace, and a few of us moved out in front and lost track of the main group (in fact, we lapped a few people).
Of course, today was Paul's birthday so we had booked dinner at Chops Grille - one of their specialty restaurants. As usual, the food and service was excellent.
Afterwards we blew away some more money at the Casino, and then crashed.
