I woke at 2:45 am and of course, I had to check outside. I stepped out on my balcony to this beautiful view. I was hoping for some northern lights but none to be had.
We awoke when our coffee and tea were delivered and afterward headed off the ship.
We walked to the Invergordon Church of Scotland. The church was built in 1861.
It was very plain inside but the people were very welcoming.
After the church, we walked along the Main Street heading to the Invergordon Museum. It was free of charge and very interesting.
Displays of TB epidemics in the early 20th century and the sinking of the HMS Natal around WWI.
Amazingly, such pretty flowers bloom in this climate.
The wall art around the town tells a story about this quiet little port.
We stopped at Clootie McToots for a scone with jam and clotted cream. I had a latte and Bruce had tea. Unfortunately, this was not the best scone but it was a cute place and the people were very friendly.
Now we are back on the ship getting ready for specialty dining!
Oh what a meal! 5 courses at Sabatini’s! First bread and Italian fried rice and cheese balls with sauce.
I had salad and Bruce had soup. Sorry no pictures. Next antipasto. I had shrimp and tomatoes. Bruce’s was a delectable thin slices of veal with tuna reduction and cheese.
For pasta, I had lobster stuffed raviolis and Bruce ate a pasta carbonara.
Main course for me was a bone in veal that was so tender. Bruce enjoyed eggplant.
Finally dessert! I ate a sampling of four desserts. I am so happy I have stretch waist pants!
Happy for our first specialty dining experience.
Sabatinis is $35 per person plus 18% gratuity. We’ve been playing a bit in the casino so the dinner was on them.
The Showtime tonight was fabulous. Christina Johnston, guest soprano began her performance with two tunes from my favorite Broadway show, Phantom of the Opera. She sang several opera pieces, as well as a song by Queen. Her last song was from The Greatest Showman.
It’s been a fabulous cruise between the locations, the entertainment, and the many people we’ve met along the way.
