Sunday Evening July 6th 2014
Tonight we had an included farewell dinner, provided by APT in the award winning La Rotonde Restaurant located in our hotel, the Raddisson Blue Alcron.
The restaurant is decorated in the same Art Deco style as the rest of this hotel.
We were given a menu with 3 choices of entrée, main & dessert, plus tea/coffee & 2 included drinks (I had 3 wines & they didn't charge for the extra).
Every single course was delicious.
Entree (everyone at our table had the same) - Duck Liver Pate
Main
I had Salmon
Mike had Chicken
Dessert
We all had the Bohemian Apple Tart which was delicious!
We had great entertainment during the meal by this classical group. They played many different styles from true classical to Abba & The Beatles. Very easy to listen to.
Our gorgeous Tour Director, Adela (Bubbles)
After dinner we decided to go to the hotel bar for a little nightcap before bed. Mike had an Irish Whiskey (note the single cricket ball sized ice cube) & I had a Gin & Tonic.
This story had quite a humorous ending as we were finishing our drink whilst chatting to another couple. Then we decided it was time for bed, so said goodnight to the others & walked off. As we arrived at the lift we were stopped by the bar waiter who was asking for payment for our drinks. Yes after 6 weeks on ships with included drinks we were so accustomed to just asking for a drink & not paying, we totally forgot to pay! How embarrassing! I hope the bar attendant understood when we tried to explain.
More tomorrow, maybe!
Betty & Mike
