DecoPix by Tiina: Transatlantic Day 3

Woke up late – at 8am
Didn’t sleep so well. Rough sea!

Waves 4 meters.
Otherwise beautiful looking sunny morning.

No hope to run on treadmill!

Needed something more stable.
So chose 40mins with crosstrainer.

Even that was a bit difficult,

but at least could hold the handles.

Dress of the day:
Black trousers by Hugo Boss
Black&white top by Rocco Barocco
Black cashmere cardigan by Gap
Black ballerinas by Prada
Breakfast at King’s Court on deck 7.
Had from buffet fresh fruit, salmon-cheese omelet, croissant & tea
- everything was so fresh and tasty!

Checked the Mayfair shops’ day's specials:
The 2009 handbag collection from Guess
- didn’t find anything interesting

A part of the shopping arcade

.
Instead bought a beige silk pullover by Escada Sport.

The shops don’t have fitting rooms

but you can take the clothes to your state room

for 3 hours and try them on there

– nice service!

always beautiful flowers everywhere

.
The daily program has become routine already:
Going to spa, trying to read book before having a nap…
.
Lunch at King’s Court
Tuna salad
.

.
40mins walk outside on deck 7.

Beautiful sunny weather!

Some Americans were in the outside Jacuzzi with glasses of champagne

and some brave British people were lying and reading in the deck chairs outside!

Didn’t find it that warm.

.
While outside captain made an announcement that whales on portside in 800meters
- with binoculars saw the bursting water from them!
.

No-one using the outside pool today

.
At 5pm Ayurveda: Abhyangam massage for 50mins
Ayurveda is a combination of traditional

and medical treatments considered

to be one of the treasures of India.
Abhyamgam
“Feel light, more energetic and active with

a complete Ayurvedic body massage.

Performed with warmed medicated oil,

this fairly vigorous massage treatment

increases body temperature and

improves blood circulation;

tones and relaxes the muscles;

and helps increase your resistance to disease.”
- very nice experience
- refreshing scented oil was marvelous
- like a massage when you feel energetic afterwards, not sleepy
