Last sea day before Adelaide. We both had an unhappy night last night, we were both sick during the night. We ended up sleeping in until quite late, we only got up to breakfast at around 10am. Hopefully we'll pick up during the day, since we have a booking at one of the specialty restaurants tonight, and at this late stage we have to pay even if we cancel.
Later: although we both spent much of the day sleeping, fortunately we both felt well enough to go out for dinner. The restaurant is Chops Grille, a so-called "American steakhouse". They actually have a lot of seafood as well as steak; not great for Paul. Anyway, we both started off with a Crispy Goat Cheese Salad, which wasn't at all what we expected but was delicious. Paul then had an appetiser - Grilled Black Pepper Bacon which was delicious (I had a taste). Then Paul had a rack of lamb for his main course while I had a 9oz Angus Filet Mignon. Both were excellent; the steak was incredibly tender and tasty. Then we finished with Key Lime Meringue Pie (for Paul) and Apple Pie a la mode (for me). Again, all very nice.
After dinner though - straight back to the cabin in the hope of properly sleeping off whatever bug it is that we've picked up.
