We are back to our routine for the three sea days--walk, fruit for breakfast by the pool, gym, read by the pool, Mass at 5PM and then dinner with friends. Tonight we saw a great show, ” Sailing through Broadway,” with the Regent singers and dancers. John described it as “peppy.” We have enjoyed our friendship with the cast.
DAY 31--SEA DAY
We attended an informative lecture on South Africa and plan to go again tomorrow for the next installment. It was another beautiful day at the pool and the luncheon was a mid-eastern bar-b-que.
ATTENTION, ATTENTION, ATTENTION……Our schedule has been changed. Because of our cancelled trip to Kenya we have booked a 3 day safari to Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve. We leave the ship in Durban and will re-join the ship in Cape Town. Needless to say my blog will be put on hold for those days but I will report later on our adventure.
We had a wonderful dinner with our friends from San Antonia, Charley and Nancy Cheever, and David and Maureen Cross from Newport Beach. David and Maureen will be with us at Sabi Sabi.
DAY 32--SEA DAY
The lecture on modern day South Africa was terrific. It is amazing the progress the country has made--and all since 1994! Now John is attending a meeting of veterans with the D-Day participant giving a talk. We are packing for our safari and for our trip home because we have no time after the safari.
This afternoon we ran into a front with 40-50 knot winds and 6-7 foot seas. Needless to say the ship is really rocking. We are glad(thank you, Michael) that we are wearing the sea patch. We made it to Mass but our dinner and show were impossible to attend. Captain Dag says the storm will pass later tonight. We ordered pizza and stayed in our room. Tomorrow we land in Richard’s Bay and we go on a 5 hour safari. Then on Monday we go on our big safari.
P.S. Captain Dag was wrong--the storm never subsided; the boat was wild all night!!!
