Somewhere on the Pacific to Brisbane, Qld – 13 Apr 2026

Location map at 5 am.

I was on the wrong side of the ship to get a full sunrise this morning, but got a bit of colour out the back!

I did some more family tree this morning and then sat a while in the Crown Lounge breakfasting on smoked salmon!

Packed up the jigsaw and thought about the rest of my stuff but didn’t get to it! I have thought about leaving it until the morning but it will be the one day I don’t wake up between 3 & 4 am! Will probably do it after I’ve finished writing this!

Very cleverly I managed to leave my key card behind when I went off to dinner. Just as well the stateroom attendant was out there! It was a Greek theme tonight. The moussaka was very nice. They also had some seafood, their idea of a prawn cocktail is Shrimp salad to which you add Mary Rose sauce.

I did manage to get the sunset though as I was on the correct side of the ship for that!

At least I don’t have to leave my case outside, so maybe some now and finish in the morning!!
