Day 79 - At Sea




Day 79 – Sunday 30th March 2014 – At Sea


Awake 07.00, feeling washed out, coughing and barking with my tongue twice the size as normal.  Showered and taking on plenty of liquids reduce the tongue but I had succumbed to the Cunard air conditioning bug.

Spending most of the time on deck either dosing or reading; I found the ship had changed, as in Hong Kong we disembarked 1400 passengers and took on just as many, so the ship is still full.

In the afternoon, we passed through the Hainan Strait between the Chinese island of Hainan and the mainland.  It was blowing a full gale from the south west with lots of ships passing through the strait, and of course, many fishing boats to keep the navigators on their toes.

The bug turned into a heavy head cold, and I only managed a bowl of soup in Lido before going to bed at 21.00. 


Hope to feel some improvement, for arriving in Vietnam in the morning.
