Today there has been no sight of land at all as we navigate between Australia and Papua New Guinea, so we have been left to our own devices, and a very relaxing day it has been. The temperature stays at around 84 degrees day and night so the swimming pool is a lovely temperature; in fact it is pleasantly cool compared to the outside temperature, Ideal for Marion’s aquarobics. The only problem is that every couple of hours there is a heavy rain shower.
Our team won the trivia today, mainly because one of our number knew the Internet code for Antarctica. We had a lovely lunch outside during which time we were offered three cocktails, I finally succumbed to a peach daiquiri. I attended a lecture on change in Indonesia where we were literally bombarded with political and economic facts and figures. Needing to get this out of my system I had a short session in the gym.
This evening we had an Indian meal, with a couple from Pittsburgh, Fred is a keen sports fan with tickets both to the NFL and the MLB, so an interesting conversation on knuckleball pitchers was had. Kathy has an extremely interesting job administering the philanthropy of a foundation designed to make life in Pittsburgh better.
Clocks go back tonight so we have an extra hour in bed, we need it with all this hard work.
