We have been at sea now for the last five days, and it has been a great experience. I thought I would become bored especially on the small ship, but that hasn’t been the case at all. In fact I wish we had a couple of more days before we went on land again.
In the morning we start our day with lattes from our barista on board. Next on the list is a workout in the spa and maybe a couple of miles around the track. After cleaning up and enjoying breakfast, it is time for our first seminar. We have attended a series on NASA and all their projects including plans for the future. We have also attended a series on French Polynesia and the Society Islands by a historian that is a hoot. The stories this guy tells are incredible. He also does a lecture on astronomy, and did you know today at precisely 12:47 at 13 degrees we were directly under the sun casting no shadows at all. A highlight for Jan today was a cooking demonstration by the Executive Chef and a tour of the galley (and of course a new cookbook for her to bring home).
Of course there is also bingo every day, ballroom and line dancing lessons, book clubs, bridge lectures and lessons, wine tastings, ping pong, golf chipping, and arts and crafts. If anyone says there is nothing to do, then I don’t feel sorry for them. Besides soaking up the sun, there have been more than enough choices of things to do.
We’ll be up on deck later this afternoon trying to get our first glimpse of Bora Bora . Until then, I need to close because our afternoon tea just arrived in our stateroom!
Cruising with Herm
