Usual
light breakfast and after a little respite
we did our 1.5 mile walk around the deck a little earlier today as we
wanted to go and see the results of the on board photo competition winners
which was being shown in the theatre.
There
were some excellent photographs from both the amateurs and also the
professionals. The presenters, why three of them? tried to take it turns to
comment upon the individual photos and some the comments were obviously valid
whilst the other were a little silly however it was mostly the one presenter
who did all the work.
With
another Black Tie function tonight we went for a coffee and a cake for lunch
and kept it light for the day.
We
were planning to visit one of the rooms to listen to a classical music
afternoon but got diverted by a documentary on the design and build of the
Californian Academy of Sciences facility which houses a tropical forest where
you can walk through the tree rood canopy and there is also a huge fish tank
with half a metre thick windows where you can see nearly 4000 fish from little
too large.
Tonight’s
dinner looked like salmon en-croute only it wasn't but it was still very good.
We sat on a table for eight and the lady next to me within a short space of
time was complaining about her husband who never goes anywhere or wants to do
anything and spends most of the time in the cabin. It would appear they are
caravan’ers who go to rallies all over the place but her comments about him not
wanting to do anything is a bit odd but anyway she thanked me on her departure
for ‘an entertaining evening’.
Jennifer
also met when doing the washing earlier this week another woman who was
complaining about her husband, she had been suffering from a cold and the
husband made no attempt to get something from the chemist to rectify the
problem or even attempt to the washing which had mounted up due to her being
unwell. So talking to strangers about your personal matters seems a strange to
us.
After
the meal we went to watch a guy on the alto sax called Julian Strange who had
been on Britain has got talent and he was pretty good when he wasn't drowned
out by the ships band.
Afterwards
came back to the cabin and watched the second half of the film called ‘The Ship
that Rocks’ or something like that and it’s all about the early days of Pirate
Radio and the Governments attempts to close them down. Amusing in places.
Tomorrow
we arrive in Cabo San Lucas for the day where we board the tender to go to
shore but it turns out due to our cabin status we get bumped to up the front of
the queue and so will watch out for daggers in our back as walk past everybody
and jump the queue
