Last night there was a beautiful newish moon and reflection
in the sea at bed time. How good are the
peace and opportunity to take time to notice. Then the clocks went back one
hour again and we are now 6 hours behind GMT. Although I originally wanted to
Skype lots, the window for Skyping is now mainly the morning here, to avoid
bedtimes there, and then only in port when we can get better speed wi-fi. So the blog and Facebook are doing all the
work for now.
The temperature has been a consistent 28C since we got to
the Caribbean, today clear blue skies are back after a cloudy start, live music on
the top deck and half a dozen different kinds of music in various indoor
venues. There’s a passenger choir who
meet every day for an hour and who will be performing before we get to San
Francisco on 31st. Today at
art (when painting the infamous koala!) we found out that all of our offerings are
going to be exhibited in the gallery on 29th. How exciting, I might have to make one or two (maybe a few)
of my slightly disappointing ones disappear, but I am happy that Easa, our
teacher thinks they are worthy.
Around about 2 p.m. I returned to our cabin to get into my
swimsuit after lunch – and while I was there Khachik and everyone else on the
Lido deck saw a hump backed whale. Sadly it had disappeared by the time I got
back, but it seems they are out there and when we get to Cabo for our Whale
Watching Excursion we will I’m sure get close up. As Khachik had been noticing how many really obese people there were sunbathing in tight swimsusits, I am sorry to say that I thought he was referring to someone on board when he said he'd seen a hump backed whale.
Bye for now.
