Spending Another Day in Alta

Today we are still docked in Alta. There are some excursions but we didn't sign up for anything today. So we decided to have an us day and stay in our cabin and relax. We woke up around 7:30am and we had scheduled room service for breakfast at 8:00am. They brought everything right on time and we sat at the table in the living area, opened the curtains to be able to see the beautiful scenery and enjoyed a quiet and relaxing breakfast with mimosas since we had a complimentary bottle of champagne in our cabin. After eating breakfast Thomas went lay in bed and read. I decided to blog, edit photos and just get some things organized. I really enjoyed staying in and relaxing.

Around 1:00pm we decided to go have a light lunch at the World Café. We ate a small lunch and relaxed and had some coffee while we enjoyed the snowy landscape around the dock in Alta. After eating we returned to our room and decided to take a nap. After an hour nap I watched a movie and played a few games on the computer. We also filled out a few surveys on some of the excursions we have been on. Then around 7:15pm we headed down to the Explorer's Desk to turn in the surveys and then to The Chef's Table for our 7:30pm reservations. We had a table to ourselves tonight and we enjoyed a special meal together. Tonight's menu was as follows . . .

* Amuse Bouche - Lobster Terrine paired with Frontera rose, Cabernet Sauvignon , Chile
* First Course - Tea-Infused Arctic Char paired with Vollmer Cuvee, Dornfelder, Spatburgunder, Germany
* Sorbet - Red Currant & Ginger
* Main Course - Juniper Berry-Marinated Red Deer Loin paired with Frontera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chile
* Dessert - Maple Syrup Cake paired with Sandeman Fine Ruby Port, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Douro, Portugal

This meal was good but not as good as the other night. But I have to say I have enjoyed eating at this restaurant.

While we were eating they announced that there was northern lights activity but we decided not to run up to Deck 8 from Deck 1. We hope we get another chance later on.

Back at the cabin after dinner I decided to take a bath and relax a little more before bed. There is a TV in the mirror above the bathtub so I decided to watch a movie. I didn't finish the movie in the bath so I sat in the living room and finished that and did a little blogging. It is time to get some sleep - tomorrow we have excursions all day - it will be a busy one.
