Beautiful summer day and sometimes placid seas, sometimes
pitching.
As we move south the days get longer, just like at home in summer. (This Southern Hemisphere is the exact opposite of us, it is now the equivalent of July down south, middle summer.)
We had a light breakfast in the lounge and then off to an early talk on upcoming ports with Jim and Gail. We then booked a ship's tour in one port and I booked a horseback tour for Fellette and I down the road a bit. I should mention that Fellette walked a mile earlier, I did not and even had a long nap after the lecture before lunch.
I am trying to figure out why I am so tired. I have a few thoughts on the subject:
1. I usually have a nap after lunch at home, I have not been doing so here.
2. This life aboard is conducive to relaxation.
3. The sound of the engine and the pitching of the ship I find very soothing.
4. There is no phone or Internet for me to communicate to people or distract me.
5. Fellette tells me I am still in recovery mode. (I am occasionally reminded of this myself.)
6. There is not a heck of a lot to do on sea days that is of interest to me other than the speakers.
7. I cannot go to the workshop and while the day away.
8. It feels good!

They
all sound like good reasons to me!
Fellette attends a craft class each sea day at 2.00 and usually comes back with some home work that she can spend time on when idle. I have difficulty reading because I usually fall asleep. However, the reason for going on the cruise in the first place is to relax and have fun. This I am doing!
We did play shuffleboard on deck for a while after lunch. Other than that, we just whiled the day away, resting up for an adventure ashore tomorrow.

The Chilean flag proudly flying above the entrance to the harbour at Arica. This used to be a Bolivian port but Bolivia lost a war in the late 1800s, and the port, that is why Bolivia is land locked. They are still contesting it.
Getting ready to play shuffleboard. Hot, hot, hot.
Whale watching!
Ready for dinner tonight, table for two.
In my new alpaca sleeveless sweater. Hmmm, looks like I got a bit of sun today.
Some of the dancers on the pier last night as we sailed away from Arica, waving goodbye.
