Today was a bit of everything day.
This morning we went to the Marquee to learn about all the wonderful trips P&O are offering us next year, and how they are adding two more ships to their fleet. It all sounded marvellous, but not much happening from NZ. They have some good ideas about short trips though, especially for long weekends where you can go on a speciality cruise for 4 days for an event such as a birthday, Christmas, Melbourne Cup etc. but only from Sydney or Brisbane.
It's lovely having a balcony to sit out on, the weather is balmy and a bit humid, sunny this morning and overcast later this afternoon.
Deck 12 has been very busy all day with all the sunbathers and people in the pool, the kids have their own pool and have had great fun with all the organised activities for them.
We did a bit of shopping this morning, the shop on board has some lovely stuff, so as we couldn't buy anything special on the days ashore, we thought we could treat ourselves to a few things (well, just me actually!)
We had our lunch outside on deck 12 as usual and spent the rest of the afternoon reading and relaxing. I did check out the "Beading Workshop" at 2 o'clock, but considering my last beadwork was Renoir's 'Rainy Day in Paris' consisting of over 28 thousand beads hand sewn, when I saw all the tables set out with a piece of paper and large plastic beads and a piece of string, I knew this wasn't for me!!
This is due south, where we are heading.
We did, however, catch the sun going down this afternoon, and although not spectacular, it was nice to see.
The show last night was called "The Circus comes to Town", I can't really fault this troupe they are excellent, great costumes, sing along music, and a huge elephant manipulated by 4 people which was so realistic. Very enjoyable. We moved on after the show to the Karaoke competition, they had the 'alter Ego' as their backing group, and it always amazes me how many people want to have a go, and most of them were really good, such hidden talent.
