As I have a bit of catching up to do, suffice to say that the three days at sea passed by without being attacked by pirates, hit by tornadoes or tsunamis. There was no mass outbreak of bubonic plague, dengue fever, the lurghi or the squits – though there may have been isolated outbreaks here and there. No mutinies of crew or passengers and no streakers - though given the likely state of so many un-ironed birthday suits around here, that is something of a blessing really. Has anyone ever seen a geriatric with a walking frame, streaking?
We did turn up for the “Buddhism 101” lecture in the theatre one morning. It was so peaceful that we both nodded off...
The following day it was port lecturer Hutch, on Benoa (Bali). We didn’t nod off.
Unfortunately, the Diamond Cats lunch clashed with the crossing the equator ceremony but as viewing seems a little crowded compared to the Dawn, we did the lunch. Nothing arranged other than the lunch, where Dave excused himself towards the end, as he was off to be verbally abused at bridge, where some old biddy objects to him smiling!
For the second night, we caught an act that we had seen on the Dawn. The first was illusionist Wayne Hoffman and the second was pianist/guitarist Bayne Bacon. Good acts, but there is never enough seating unless you want to wait until the 10:30pm performances.
We also managed a couple of production shows, but we are now in the zone of getting repeats, though the stage equipment and effects appear to be a bit more advanced than on the Dawn, or certainly compared to the first half of the cruise.
Benoa (Bali) tomorrow concludes the real overseas sector as after that it is all Australia and NZ.
