Last night we had our cocktail in the lounge outside of the theater. When the Captain started talking, we decided to head to dinner. We had a nice table for two by the window. Lobster Tail was on the menu so both of us had that. Enzio, who works for both Oceania and Regent, came by to talk with us. We have met him several times while cruising on both lines. He keeps us informed as to what is going on with the lines.
After dinner we headed back to the cabin to read and lights out. We have an early tour in the morning.
We docked in Saguenay and the weather was cold and rainy. Our tour left early so the local folks were just getting set up. Last time we were here I sawed some wood with a two person saw. But not this time.
Our tour was to Site de la Nouvelle-France. This is a recreation of life back in the 17th century. Back then the native tribes and the French colonists lived side by side and their cultures became interdependent. There is a recreation of a Huron Village, a rural farm and Quebec City's upper and lower towns. Some of the locals dress up in period costumes and tell part of the story of life back then. On our ride out to the site it started to snow. Now you know it is cold. Just some flurries but snow non the less.
We then drove to the Musse du Fjord. Here we watched a film on the fjord and then got to wander around the museum. The film told the geological history of the Saguenay Fjord and the wildlife that abounds in the region. They also have a nice aquarium.
Back on the ship we headed up to lunch. It is not easy getting a table to eat as this area is always busy. We will have to eat later after all the rush is over.
After lunch we took our nap and then up to the pool to do half hour of water exercises. The pool water is heated but the air is quite cold. Keeps you moving.
Now getting ready for dinner. Tonight we are eating with Ray, the cruise director. Will tell about dinner tomorrow as it is a sea day and not much doing. Will add the pictures then.
