Didn't wake up until 9am this morning - it's these one hour time changes, two nights in a row - it's a killer...nothing to do with the late night drinks though!!
Cloudy again today and quite windy but the temperature is still in the mid eighties.
We moved from the pool area (deck 8) up to deck 9 at 3:30pm
so that the staff could start the setup for tonight's 'A Taste Of Madagascar'
party - it was funny to watch them struggling with the draperies in the high wind
and also to watch John our cruise director trying to float two giraffes on the
swimming pool - we have pictures!!Click Here For More Photos
At 6:30pm we enjoyed cocktails and canapés in the African setting by the pool. The entertainment team sang excerpts from The Lion King and other songs inspired by this beautiful country...like real troupers they continued with the show despite the rain starting to fall...doesn't it always.
Between 7pm and 9pm there was a Madagascar themed dinner (with some really spicy soup...yummy!) in The Colonnade which had also been decorated in an African theme.
Then at 9:15pm the desserts and 'Rock The Boat' show had to be moved to The Club as it was still raining. We danced all night - and thanks Luis for putting up with my attempts at dancing although he kindly said he awarded me ten out of ten for effort.
I forgot to say.... at 7pm Vance had an acupuncture appointment for his sore shoulder (golf inflicted!!). He came back a changed man (well almost) and said "this acupuncture stuff really does work"...hope they do it on the national health at home or any more sessions will be eating into my cruising fund.
