My location at 6 am (5 am at home!) and a vague sunrise!


It’s long time to 9 am and the pool opening when you wake at 5. Anyway, the jigsaw grew and the book read and the games played, lol. Discovered that’s it’s a bit more difficult exercising in a water depth of 0.82 metres when used to 1.2-1.5. I walked around and around for 5 minutes, then leg/hip exercises for another 5, then repeated going around the other way. Did that twice more, so passed my 45 minutes or so and was hardly wet to the waist!!! Mind you it did get a little deeper when the ship rolled with the swell, but as it had an overflow at the end, it didn’t last very long. Await a photo on another day!
Back to my room for a shower and then had to wait an hour until the Windjammer opened for lunch as the later pool meant I couldn’t get there before the breakfast closure! It was koala or bear day, not sure which!

As they say Necessity is the mother of invention. The desk was too low to do jigsaw and the cabinet just a bit too high, so opened up a drawer which was the right size for my board. Mind you the shoulders did feel it after a while. Couldn’t go down to the next drawer as my knees were in the way!! lol.

It was warm out, 27 C, but very gray!

I do much prefer the artwork on this ship to the last one. They are actually proper visual pictures, not abstracts at all. This hanging art work is between the elevator foyers. They are definitely not as quick at arriving as on Voyager!

Have a tour of a Temple & a Shrine in Fukuoka, Japan tomorrow. This is the substitute stop for Seoul.
