April 24, 2013 Sea Day

We slept in a bit and after breakfast went up to deck 11 to sun bathe. Showered and went to the Pub Lunch offered today. It’s always good. We sat with Rita and Frank who have a couple tours with us. Marianne was there at a different table with Bonnie and Dennis and another couple.

We went to the afternoon port lecture on Luxor and Sharm El Sheikh, our next 2 ports in Egypt.

After that I came back and worked on the blog.

Oh, I had my sea days confused, I think I wrote about the dolphins on our sea day after Doha, but it was today. That’s what happens when I have to try and remember what we did days later when the ports are boom boom boom! Greg saw them earlier right before the port lecture. One of the guys that are watching out for pirates was watching something intently and Greg went out to see what he was looking at and it was dolphins. I saw them later from the balcony and then a couple times at dinner. Huge pods of over 50 of them. I have never seen them fly that far out of the water before, except at Sea World.

The show tonight was an encore performance by Sally Jones with a whole new show. Very talented singer and entertainer, with a good sense of humor as well!

We got to set the clocks back another hour! Nice to get an extra hour of sleep or whatever!

4 more sea days until our next port. Someone mentioned that we only have 3 weeks left of the cruise. That just doesn’t seem possible. The thought of packing it all up and leaving is quite daunting.

We are in the Gulf of Aden now and the Captain has the ship cranked up a little faster to pass through here. We don't want the "pie rats" to get us. Not sure what movie that was from, but we can't stop calling them "pie rats"
