STILL CRUISIN’

Two very quiet days at sea and three more to go before Auckland, NZ. We had hoped to catch up with Harley and Mary Burke in Auckland but unfortunately they are now unable to travel up to Auckland from their home in Cambridge near Hamilton. It is about 150kms away so I can understand they have now decided the driving is a bit much but have promised a trip to Brisbane in the future. Harley is a couple of years older than I and we met in Port Alberni, BC, Canada. He boarded with us when our Nat was just a baby. 

So we are still cruisin’, eating and drinking too much, attending the morning lectures and evening shows. However, I seem to have contracted a man-cold which is far worse than a woman-cold and M has gone off alone to dinner and the theatre. Tonight is also designated as a ‘formal’ night, meaning as formal as you want it to be. Some go all out with suits and gowns; so I am happy to have missed that, but M is dressed fashionably as always. I ordered my evening meal on my phone and it was delivered to the room.

And so with little to do but read and add to the waist line, Michele got in the hot tub on deck 14.
