February 28, 2019 – at Sea
This is a day we needed to recover after two days of hiking. Very cool and windy today. Another storm on the horizon.
We spent most of the day relaxing and watching ridiculous politicians.
We had dinner with Ron and Karen in the Canaletto Restaurant on the ship. There is a small up-charge for this restaurant. We have had dinner with the pair a few other times and they suggested dinner at this restaurant. We both enjoyed the the menu and the conversation.
We were looking forward to entertainment on the main stage today. The Vallies. A tribute to the Four Seasons. Unfortunately, they just boarded the ship back in Auckland and weren’t used to the sea and we were experiencing a very rough day. Hamish announced that do to “unforeseen circumstances” they would be unable to perform. He later announced that, yes, they were all seasick.
Jonathon Johnston was able to make another appearance in place of the Vallies. We missed Jonathon when he first appeared and were happy for a second chance. Jonathon was from Belfast and played the flute. Wonderful tone, repertoire , and chops! I’ll have to check to see if he is free for the DCCB rehearsals!
Tomorrow we arrive in Wellington and have a tour scheduled.…
