No, we’re not lost or confused – we have two days at sea between ports so we are making the most of shipboard activities and exploring new bars and dining options, though many cocktails could lead to great confusion later in the day! 🍸🍹

The ship is rolling in a 4 metre swell so whether we drink or not there is a lot of staggering happening as we lurch along gangways from one area to the next.

This afternoon Dave is off exploring the ship on a Behind the Scenes tour while I dabbled in a watercolour class painting a sunset. We also painted cherry blossoms yesterday.

There’s certainly no shortage of things to see and do and our cabin is a quiet refuge when we just want to chill out.

Tonight is a specialty dining night – a Seafood Boil.

The food has been amazing at all the different dining venues and it’s hard to resist trying ‘just one more’ morsel. We’ll be rolled off the ship like Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-Dee in a few days time 🫩

Tomorrow we arrive in Kota Kinabalu in Malaysian Borneo and have a half day tour arranged in the morning. After that I’m catching up with a lovely friend, Karen, who I met here 20 years ago so be prepared for reunion photos!
