March 13, 2019 – at Sea
Another day at sea as we are traveling about 15 knots and the water is so calm it is easy to forget that the ship is moving.
It is getting very warm. Tomorrow it is going to be in the 90s with very high humidity as we pull into Darwin. Darwin is our last stop in Australia and this will be where Terri will be able to get a tax refund for her jewelry purchases. Passport, receipts, items, credit card, positive attitude needed.
We realized that the couple two doors down from us have bicycles on board. I called before we left in January and also found a written policy from HAL that they do not allow bicycles anymore. I spoke with Hamish and he seemed surprised that I was told that. What a missed opportunity. I even found a quote from Carnival Cruise lines that they would confiscate and dispose of bicycles. So much for corporate policy.
We tend to watch Fox News right before dinner. Looks like the Libs are imploding. Quite entertaining.
We ran into Bob before dinner and he was excited to tell us about the billboard he saw. Make Australia Great Again. Going to look for a hat tomorrow.
The evening entertainment was the return of comedian Jim Short (we missed him the first time around) and an encore performance from David Meyer. Jim was from England and easily made fun of the many Americans and Canadians aboard. He also took some shots at himself and the few Brits on board. David had another great show. He opened with some Led Zeppelin. Kashmir. He closed with his own arrangement of movements from Tschaikovsky’s Nutcracker. Great show!…
