Day 52 - At Sea




Day 52 – Monday 3rd March 2014 – At Sea

It was difficult in the gym and sauna this morning, as the weekend in Sydney had taken its toll.

The rest of the morning was very leisurely; attempting to join the line dancing class was too much of a struggle, as the ballroom was full, as they tried to go through the steps while packed in like sardines.

The cha-cha-cha was more achievable but the Japanese were also here in force.  We managed to get through the lesson and my dance partner Edwina, introduced me to her daughter Deborah, who had flown out to Sydney yesterday from the UK, but had not made it to dinner, as she was jet-lagged.

In the late afternoon managed to go on Deck 9 and enjoy once more the sun’s rays.

At dinner, Avril from New Zealand brought along a bottle of champagne for us all, as she was leaving the ship tomorrow.  Along with the wine, it went down very well, as I enjoyed, prawns/aubergine salad/Sydney mussels/Jamaican chocolate cake.  The mussels were fabulous, about twice the size as you get in the UK.

The theatre show was given by ‘The Leading Men’, all gifted performers, who had all played leading roles in Australia’s musicals.  The show was brilliant, they performed individually, but when together the blend of their voices was unbelievable, and deservedly received a standing ovation.

A great day on board; tomorrow another port.
