Day 37 - At Sea

Day 37 – Saturday 15^th February 2014 – At Sea

Today, the weather has improved, and more people are out and about, very good to see.

The dance lessons, I have given up on some of the Latin stuff, as I am just getting confused about shake it to the right or shake it to the left.  Today was the jive, so more at ease with that one and the blokes have not got much to do.

Choir practice was fantastic, this bunch are now really enjoying the songs and the blend of voices, I have to admit is slightly better than the previous group, so I am looking forward to our performance.

After practice, as it was such a nicer day, I did three laps of deck 3, and when the heat had gone out of the sun, I lay on a sun lounger on deck 9 and enjoyed reading a book and bronzing.

Today’s cocktail, Mai Tai, we have decided is the best of the lot, consisting of a combination of light and dark rums, almond liqueur, apricot brandy, orange curacao with lime and pineapple juices. 

This certainly sets you up before dinner of cauliflower soup/veal/chocolate cake, all very nice.

Into the theatre, for Ben Murphy, billed as Australia’s No.1 comedy magician, unfortunately he did not match up to it, and this is not only my opinion, but I have never seen so many people, leaving the theatre during his performance.

After the theatre went up onto the open deck for more star gazing, and around about this time 23.30, Queen Elizabeth crossed over the equator.
