Friday 30th August: Vigo (cont)
Leaving Vigo (a bit out of order, this was before we went to the cinema)
Lexi was down on deck 4 as we were leaving Vigo and said she saw some whales but didn’t manage to get any photos.
After our movie we had a little while before dinner so tried again to listen to the piano player in the atrium. And again it was just too crowded and noisy to hear the music.
We opted instead for a stroll around deck 4. I’d forgotten that part of deck 4, outside the adult bar area, is a smoking area in the evenings which was unpleasant to walk through. So we only walked one lap, then sat and enjoyed the sea view for a while.
Dinner tonight was at Enchanted Garden and we queued up early again so it was quiet when we first went in.
Tonight’s wine, it was just ok.
To start Alice had: AHI TUNA AND AVOCADO TOWER with Crispy Noodles and Wasabi Dressing. She really enjoyed this.
Lexi and I both had: NORTH ATLANTIC LOBSTER RAVIOLI with Roasted Garlic and Sweet Basil in a Tomato Broth. I’d asked for a double portion because I usually love this. Tonight the broth was thick, more of a sauce, and it was just ok nothing special. I felt like I did have to eat it all though after asking for a double portion.
For our main course Alice and I both had: CARAMELIZED SEA SCALLOPS with Roasted Asparagus, Sun-dried Tomato Couscous, Caramelized Leeks, and Red Wine Veal Jus. We both thought this was delicious.
There was no pasta on the main menu for the picky eater, so Lexi just had a plain chicken breast with rice.
For dessert Alice had an ice cream sundae which we forgot to photograph, and I had: LEMON RASPBERRY MOUSSE BOMBE, Citrus Lemon Mousse embedded with fresh Raspberries. I really enjoyed this, I love lemony desserts.
Lexi had skipped dessert again and headed off to Vibe where she got to meet her favourite character.
