Tomorrow we will be in The Bay of Islands, New Zealand. It will be good to feel solid ground under our feet. Most of today was rough but it calmed down in the evening. We had the art display of all our work. It was quite impressive to see all the works...
Todays’s photo looks a lot different than the sunny day we had yesterday. The seas have been very rough. It’s hard to walk anywhere without holding on. We had our last art class today. Tomorrow will be our gallery showing. Then we pick up our work to take home. I really enjoyed...
When I go to bed tonight it will be Sunday, January 28. When I wake up tomorrow, it will be Tuesday, January 30. We are crossing the International Dateline tonight. In art class today, we painted a fan. It wasn’t easy getting the drawing on the pleats of the fan. I just drew a bunch...
It was a mostly cloudy day today, as you can see from the top photo. I took it through a window. We went to art class and worked on our turtle pictures. I’m not quite finished and will need to do a bit more work tomorrow. Then it was trivia time. It’s...
we’re back at sea for another long stretch. The captain comes on every day with his navigation report. We have gone 300 nautical miles and still have 1000 nautical miles to go. At least the sea is relatively calm. We were back to art class. We’re painting a turtle. I’m so glad she has...

Moor’ea is a beautiful island. This morning we were up early to have breakfast in the room, before our early bay cruise. We took the tender from the ship to the port. We then got on a boat and headed out to see the 2 bays. The island is surrounded by a coral reef....
We had a busy day on the island. We had a Le Truck tour, which was a truck with plastic seats. We drove around the island on the only road, which was built by the US in the 1940’s. We stopped at a few places along the way, one was Bloody Mary’s bar. It has...
Today was mostly a normal day, art, Trivia, cards. Bunny spent some time on the computer. After cards, I met some friends at the pool on the back of the ship. It’s an outdoor pool, not too big and it was heavenly. The temperature was perfect, I kept the waves to my back...
Another day at sea. This morning we took a Behind the Scenes Tour of the ship. We were led by the head of the hotel. It was very interesting. We went through the kitchens, the engineering center, the area where the food is stored, and the laundry. They have a machine there that washes,...
