P. 76
Are we bored with shipboard life?
Absolutely not. We’ve made peace with
our shower curtain and our cozy
stateroom. We’ve embraced the joy of
afternoon naps, especially when there’s
an event that begins after 9 p.m. Wine
time has been elevated by my one
vodka martini with olives, which kicks off
the evening with a smile. And we keep
the TV off - no news is the only good
news these days.
We’ve made wonderful new friends,
discovered breathtaking destinations,
and continue to love the soothing
sounds and rhythmic movement of the
sea, accompanied by spectacular
sunrises. What’s not to love?
As Mary and I look ahead to the second
half of our journey, we’re filled with
excitement for more new destinations
and shore adventures, including a safari
and visits to cultural and natural
wonders in Africa. We’re especially
looking forward to several relaxing sea
days. You'll find us by the pool as we
sail, in the capable hands of Captain
Johannes, to summer down under.
