Day 93 – Beauty, Balance, and a Touch of Magic

I started the day gently, heading to the gym for some light stretching. Joe was feeling a little better and decided to get up and pop out to Boots to pick up a few things. We kept the morning calm and unhurried while he waited to meet Dahlia for lunch and a wander around Covent Garden.

I stayed back at the hotel and got some of my recordings done, enjoying the quiet focus, before Gaby arrived. We shared a snack and a lovely catch-up, one of those easy conversations that feels grounding and familiar.



Later in the afternoon, it was time to get ready for a real treat — Cirque du Soleil at the Royal Albert Hall. The show, OVO, is one of my absolute favourites, and I was so excited. Getting there was a bit of an adventure in itself; Ubers were in high demand and it took a while to secure one, but we made it just in time to meet Daniel, Joshua, and Natalie.

I had booked a box, which turned out to be such a good decision. The view was perfect, and the whole experience felt special. The show was everything I hoped it would be — creative, mesmerising, and full of jaw-dropping talent. Cirque du Soleil never fails to transport me somewhere magical.



After the show, Josh kindly dropped us back at the hotel. By the time I got to bed, exhaustion hit me all at once, and I fell asleep almost instantly — a full day, beautifully ended.

Daily Reflection:
A gentle, balanced day filled with creativity, connection, and moments of quiet focus. I’m reminded how important it is to honour my energy and savour experiences that truly light me up.

Highlight of the Day:
Watching Cirque du Soleil – OVO from our box at the Royal Albert Hall — pure magic and a perfect end to the day.

Day 7 - Lanzarote: Sunshine, Family, and a Tale of Two Ports

Image
The day began in a haze — quite literally. A thick morning fog had settled over the ocean, and for a while, the ship’s horn sounded regularly as we carefully made our approach toward Arrecife, Lanzarote . The mysterious mist wrapped around us like a soft blanket, but as we neared the island, the clouds lifted , revealing a clear blue sky and glorious sunshine. Disembarkation was a little slow today, as most of the excursions were departing at the same time, but eventually we were off the ship and ready for a wonderful reunion. Cousin Joe had sent us detailed directions and was waiting patiently for us at the port. Or so we thought! As we stepped out, we began walking… and walking… and walking . Poor Joe’s back was not particularly pleased about this unexpected trek, and as we checked in with Cousin Joe, he reassured us he was “just nearby.” What none of us realised was that there are two ports in Lanzarote — we had docked at the old commercial port , while Cousin Joe was waiting ...

Day 5 - A Day Without Wi-Fi: Casablanca Adventures and Serendipity at Sea

Image
  Another beautiful morning greeted us as we sailed into Casablanca — sunlight glinting off the water as we arrived into the port. There was an immediate sense of arrival in a city filled with colour, culture, and history. But as we soon discovered, Casablanca had a little surprise in store for us. Because it’s a naval port , all Wi-Fi was cut as soon as we docked — and it stayed that way for many hours, long after we had left the harbour. At first, the silence felt strange, a sudden digital stillness in our usually connected world. But as the hours passed, it began to feel… refreshing. A day without Wi-Fi turned out to be a quiet gift — unless, of course, you’re Joe! Joe had to head into town to collect the medicines that were missing from our luggage. Since no taxis are allowed into the port and the shuttle bus had already left, two kind gentlemen kindly offered him a lift into town . It was such a lovely reminder of the goodness of strangers and the small kindnesses that m...

Day 3 - Our First Day at Sea: Finding Our Rhythm

Image
  There’s something magical about waking to the gentle movement of the ocean. This morning, I slipped out onto the deck just as the sun began to rise — soft hues of pink and gold spilling across the sky. The ship was quiet except for the sound of the waves, and it felt like the perfect setting for a mindful start to the day. I walked the deck, breathing in the salty air and feeling gratitude wash over me with each step. After my morning walk, I found a quiet spot for meditation and my daily EFT tapping session — a grounding way to tune into the energy of the sea and the peace of the moment. Afterwards, I treated myself to a blissful morning in the spa — a pampering start that left me feeling completely relaxed and radiant. Meanwhile, Joe enjoyed a lazy, leisurely morning in our suite catching up on his broken nights sleep. We met later for a lovely lunch in the Compass Rose restaurant, enjoying fresh, beautifully prepared dishes and the gentle hum of conversation around us. J...
