Oh my word, once again there’s so much activity on the ship today
we’re spoilt for choice. Tap dancing, jazz dancing, ballroom dancing, lectures
about whales and dolphins, talks about interesting entertainers in the last
century like Cole Porter, Elvis and others,
yoga, Pilates, an interdenominational church service, a deck-side photo
opportunity for “round-the-worlders”, a barbeque followed by Neptune on board
again with an it’s a knockout style contest for new crossers of the
Equator. Sun, sun, sun and a very flat
South China Sea at 10 degrees latitude. No evidence of sea life off the ship
though, although we might be feeling a bit whale like because of all the five
coursers and chocoholic’s paradise.
So we had a look at jazz dancing after our walk today, but
it was a bit too high impact and knee twisty unfortunately, but it was fun
doing the warm up. We spent a happy time with Neptune and all the frollicks,
and later we painted some beautiful crimson orchids.
Day 61 so that means that we have now been away from home
for 2 months, waking up to sunrises and different sea states, and having
everything prepared for us, cleaned for us, generally everything done for us. I
keep imagining how it would be to have our close family here, that way we
wouldn’t be missing anyone, and we’d be together in the sun. (Of course it
would have to be a family friendly ship, not this one which is all about us
oldies, but I am sure there’s one out there for us!)
Tomorrow at 8 we arrive in the port of Manila in the
Phillipines, take a shuttle bus to the town centre, have a wander, take in the
sights and sounds, find good wifi, and then come back and write up the day’s far
eastern adventures. So bye for now. Back
soon x
