A life on the ocean breeze

Troy, continued, May 9th

Two days into the cruise and I think I’ll create a team for Competitive Eating. There are some BIG eaters here. Quite difficult to find vegetables although salad is abundant. You’ll be pleased to hear we have found a tea and coffee place where, I’m told, they provide a nice afternoon tea so we’ll be trying that tomorrow.

So far cakes have been a disappointment, probably because I am comparing them to things I usually bake. Clothes still fit so I’m ok with keeping the weight off however I have already pulled back on food consumption.

Pet peeve: UHT milk. I know fresh milk is difficult to keep on board a ship and we can’t all have a cow (I don’t, just saying…) but the UHT milk makes my tea taste yuck although it is better than powdered milk.
