We've had quite a few sea days and enjoyed them all. The time is just flying by! The enrichment lecturers have been wonderful and the evening entertainment has been too.
Larry and his new friend George have spent their afternoons playing paddle tennis and competitive backgammon while Karin, Jayne and I enjoy chatting at the pool. Here we are in 'our spot' at the pool. Karin's husband Joe took the photo.
Although we've been spending a lot of time with these two couples, we've met other lovely people. One is a British couple who spend about 6 weeks each fall/winter in Sarasota! Another British couple is good friends with friends of ours in LWR. Small world!
We've stopped playing Trivia as there's just not enough time to do everything! Larry's now taking golf lessons and I've been playing mahjong on sea days. One night we had dinner with Hubert who's head of Hotel Operations (which covers just about everything on the ship except the spa) and we learned a lot about how the ship runs. We've also taken advantage of the spa services and health club classes, taken a tour of the galley kitchen and had breakfast with the Captain on the bridge. One night they turned the ship's lights off and an astronomy buff pointed out the stars and constellations.
Here are the guys on one of the black tie optional evenings:
There have been many gorgeous sunsets. This is a photo of one that Joe took while we were crossing the Indian Ocean.
Today is the second time they've had the 'Gala Buffet.' Not only is the food delicious, but they're works of art!
Two of the people we've been spending time with, Karin and Joe, left the ship for a few days to take a private safari adventure. They've sent back some amazing photos (posted below). Some were taken at Addo Elephant Park in Port Elizabeth where we'll be going tomorrow. We can't wait!
We're again cruising the Indian Ocean today and it's a bit rough but the water color is pretty.
Tomorrow we're in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
