Some more photos.  This seems to only enable me to pubish a few at a time.




Day 9 at Sea - Wednesday 27 February 2013

Today is our last of five days at sea before arriving in Papeete, Tahiti tomorrow morning.  Since leaving Wellington we have travelled 2300 nautical miles. I must say the days seem to be flying by.

We were pleased with our score at Trivia this morning in the Pub, the questions were quite difficult but we managed 13 1/2.  They only gave us half a mark for our answer ‘bat’ they said we should have answered ‘fruit bat’…. Oh well… we’re not playing for the Town Hall Clock….. Our team mates from New York are lovely and we spend ages after Trivia chatting, next thing we know it’s lunch time.

The weather today is gorgeous, very warm and sunny and as Captain Chris Wells said in his midday report “the sky is decorated with the odd fluffy cloud here and there”.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Variety show in the Royal Court Theatre this evening. The entertainment on board has been excellent, and the Cunard dancers are absolutely first class.  Afterward it was off for a few dances before bed, hopefully to burn off a few calories.  So glad we don’t have a set of scales in our bathroom.

Early to bed tonight because tomorrow we arrive early into Papeete and we want to be up early to watch our arrival. We’ve ordered breakfast to be brought to our cabin so we can enjoy it all from our balcony. Our departure from Papeete isn’t until 9.30pm so we’ve got a nice full day there.

Sending this from Papeete this morning so photos are to follow this... :)
