Beginning our Cruise

We joined our ship the MS Sound of Music (and yes it does have photos of Julie et al on the wall) late Saturday afternoon and enjoyed a Captain's cocktail hour before a Welcome dinner. The Captain gave us the emergency briefing - he is hungarian with very poor English and no one must understood much. We had dinner with a couple who of course know a librarian we both know - the world is a very small place. Dinner was rather slow taking 3 hours to have six sumptuous courses. Then we lost another hour to daylight savings so ended up going to bed at 11.15pm.
