at Sea
First of three days at sea before we begin our safari in Maputo.
One month remains in our trip and we know it will go quickly. We are looking for golf on the western side of Africa. Maybe Walvis Bay. We have a few private tours and two HAL tours left.
There is a Facebook group for this cruise. It is quite entertaining. Some postings contain great pictures but others are just complaints. People complaining about others coughing and not wearing a mask. Not coughing or sneezing in the appropriate manner. Of course these people post anonymously. The pushback is entertaining also.
We sit by the main pool for lunch and it has been very hot. We did get quite a rainstorm in the morning. Sunrises at breakfast and sunsets at dinner. This can’t be beat.
Group trivia. What is Italian for stallion. All I could think of is the Italian Stallion that Rocky, played by Sylvester Stallone called himself. We didn’t get it right but the correct answer is Stallone. Who knew? What was the tallest building in 1996? Who founded Brothers Record Label? What do you add to white sugar to make brown sugar? What sea did the Lusitania sink in?
Today was “For Cakes’ Sake”. The bakers made all kinds of cakes to be sampled on the Lido at 3 pm. There are so many ways to gain pounds on a cruise. The cruise line constantly comes up with new ways.
A number of people we normally dine near decided not to go to dining room because they couldn’t find anything worthwhile on the menu. Huh? Maybe it was the Haggis that scared them away.
We finished the evening with cards. Great evening to be under the stars.…
