Have to say that our sea days are welcome, although very busy! There's much going on – lectures (on health, nature, history, computers -whatever you can imagine), craft classes, choir practice, bridge lessons, exercise classes, trivia contests, dance classes, movies, etc. etc. It's starting to feel a lot like summer camp! We're both off to our respective activities all day long and meet up for lunch and dinner. Today I made my second beaded necklace and love it. We do try to get our time out on deck, to read and for a swim in the pool. Definitely an interesting group on board – all big world travelers. Today about 30 fellow passengers performed a medley of songs led by a choir master – it was truly incredible. More than half the passengers will be getting off in Mauritius (including our captain), so we had a “farewell” party last night for everyone. We sit at dinner at a table of 6, of which 4 of us will be staying on. We're interviewing for our next table guests for the last leg of the trip!
We're still under pirate watch – 24 hr surveillance on decks, port holes closed, internet down. Barbed wire is still around the lower decks and water hoses are hitched up and facing out. People have pretty much forgotten about it all and discussion about it all is over. I think after Mauritius, we'll be out of the “trouble” zone...
