Tuesday, January 31, 26 C. A bit bouncier sea today, also a bit cooler.
Last night we went to an Italian Restaurant for dinner, guests of our American Travel Agent. Fellette and I had an enjoyable time although we felt a bit out of our element somehow. Due to a quirk of table arrangements were at a table for two, which is just like going out as we often do at home. The service was excellent, actually a bit ‘over serviced’ by some young and happy, healthy, good looking Philippine, Indonesian and other Asian youths. They are a delight to have as servers and very happy to engage in conversation with you and happy to have such a job.
The food was a bit much for us but we enjoyed what we could eat. Sorry now that I did not take pictures of the food and the servers themselves. I must be bolder!
Today was a bit different for us for some strange reason. We were up and out of the room earlier than usual this morning. We went directly from breakfast to our walking regime and did our mile on a very bumpy and bouncy deck, a bit easier than usual and there was not the usual number of walkers there today.
We expect to see some shipping as we get closer to New Zealand, also the wet weather there is a bit of a concern for the Captain and, of course, the passengers are a bit concerned about the cooler climate to start with. Time will tell of course. We personally will be a bit happy to see some signs of what we call civilization as the ports to date have been somewhat underwhelming, but interesting, so far.
It is difficult to have that balance between interesting ports or points of interest on a port day, then come back on board excited about what you ‘discovered’ that day. We keep trying though. Every port day should be an adventure. Trying to recreate an experience in a port is not the way to go. The problem is that we have seen so darn much it is difficult sometimes.
A Good Quiet Day…
