After our very late night we slept in till around 8am. The room is cosy and dark so it's quite easy to do that. After our showers, we decided against breakfast, instead we made our way to the Observation Lounge at the front of the ship to watch as our ship departed Sydney. It's a drizzly morning so we were both very grateful that when we sailed into Sydney two days ago the sun was shining brightly over the Sydney Harbour.
Once we headed through the headland and out into the open seas the sea became very rough with huge swells that made walking around quite uncomfortable. The captain came across the speakers and apologised but he has to keep the ship at a steady 13 knots to make it to Melbourne on time.
In La Terrazza the chefs had prepared a New Year's Day Brunch so around 11am we headed there. I was feeling a little squeamish from the rocking of the ship and an empty belly was not helping. The brunch was substantial but we didn't feel like eating too much as we were headed to S.A.L.T. restaurant tonight.
After lunch it was time to choose a movie from the extensive library and relax until dinner. The movie was an old Keanu Reeves movie and was fantastic. It was called Chain Reaction.
We had time for a wee nap after the movie and then into the shower to change and head to dinner. I forget to get photos of dinner but I had Gratineed Mussels followed by Pork Spare Ribs and then a very unusual but delicious Avocado Cremé Caramel. The meal was light and flavoursome and we weren't left with overfull bellies as we headed back to our suite to prepare for bed.
Day one of being a non-drinker has been easy. So far so good!
