Restful Day at Sea...

Sunday, February 15. Cloudy, some rain. 28 C.

Where did all the clear blue skies go?  We are no longer in the middle of a very large Ocean, we are now always within a few hundred miles of a continent, and that seems to make a big difference.

Interestingly, we should not have a Time Change for about 10 days, at which time we will start Losing Sleep on a regular basis as we start the journey to the east. Then one day we will cross the dateline and lose that  whole day we gained some time ago. The dateline causes more issues than the difference in hours, I find.

We had breakfast in the dining room this morning, a first for us. We were with a Canadian Couple who we met up with on a Shore Excursion and sort of hit it off. We just happened to bump into him on our way to breakfast so we went together. Gad, I did not know that you could spend that much time at breakfast. But it was very nice to have a meaningful conversation for a change. We are having dinner together tomorrow in a private specialty Italian restaurant. Looking forward to it.

Today I did something that I should have done 44 days ago, and that is get my photos in an orderly fashion so when I go to make a book of this trip, it will be much, much, much simpler than it otherwise would be. I needed Fellette's assistance and that saved me a couple of hours work. I think I can now get it into a workable way after another few hours work. So, I am happy, I now have a project to help while away the hours/days as we trundle along our way. This is how I relax, by doing something!

Tomorrow we are in Broome, and we are going to take the provided shuttle into the town. Hopefully it is still as nice a place as it was when we ended our coach tour there some many years ago. With a population of around 18,000, that sounds like a place we can feel comfortable in. Darwin, has a population of 150,000, that is why it was a bit of a disappointment  yesterday, too big for us Country Folk!

Unfortunately this is the 'Wet' season and the captain was not too optimistic on the prospects of a good day tomorrow. So be it.

A Relaxing Day!

This is how our bed was when we got back from dinner last night. The room stewards are like ghosts. They are in and out of our room twice a day. After breakfast and during dinner. This is why gentlemen, a Cruise is a real holiday for a woman!

Fellette, this afternoon, the only work she did today is give all the Valentine's Day flowers an Aspirin to extend their life!
