Busy Day at Sea


Today was a BUSY day. After a morning walk, breakfast, another short walk, and
a short lounge on the deck to read and watch the ocean go by, things got started. 
While Foster went to the culinary demonstration, I went to line dancing. Since the
afternoon would really be busy, I’m glad I could get my shower in before 

11:30 Port Lecture for next 2 ports
Pub Lunch
1:00 Choir practice (cut short due to rehearsal for afternoon special event)
2:00 Dr. Leavell’s talk on Ethiopia (very interesting and informative)
3:15 ANZAC Day Memorial Service and Concert

ANZAC Day is Australia’s Memorial Day. It was a very nice ceremony and the
concert by Trevor Knight, our horse storyteller, was also good though the
speakers were a bit too loud.

We finally made it back about 4:30. Tonight is a production show of “What a
Swell Party”, music by Cole Porter. We’ve seen it before and it is very good.
The difference in the shows on this ship and the bigger ships is a smaller cast.
On the larger ships, there are 2 male and 2 female singers and they alternate the
songs. Here we have only 1 male and 1 female and they have to do all the songs 4
singers would normally do. Of course there are also fewer dancers.
