Sea Day - April 12

Wow, I didn’t want to wake up today. I’m really glad that we have two days to have some down time from touring. Love touring, but this last part of the cruise has been intense.

I got caught up on the blog today and next I’ll start photos.

We did go to Bingo today and Greg won and split the prize with another person that also had Bingo. So, they each got $27.50.

We opted for the Asian themed Buffet upstairs instead of the dining room for lunch today. Greg got his sushi fix and I got the spring rolls.

Sammi, the cruise director continues to interrupt our day with reading us the patter in the morning and tonight she interrupted our dinner conversation. She also continues to move around our show times in the evening. People chose their dining times to correspond with the proper show and now we are forced to go to the late one or rush through dinner to make the early one which is for the late seating people so the room is packed.

The show tonight was a Mentalist, Wayne Hoffman. It was quite an amazing show. He threw a paper airplane and whomever it hit got to go up on stage. He asked the man his name and told him to pick a number. He chose PI. (ha ha) He gave the guy a book and told him to pick any page in it and write down that and the page next to it on a board facing away from the audience. He then played a video that showed himself in a kayak in Bora Bora that he recorded that said If you are watching this you are part of my show. I believe your name is Alan. (and he even spelled it Alan, not Allen) You wrote down the numbers 19 & 20. He turned around the board that Alan wrote on and indeed it was those numbers. Then, he had Alan unfold the paper airplane he was hit with and sure enough the numbers for Pi were written on it.

He then asked for any two people that knew each other well and used them for an experiment. He blindfolded them both and told them he would touch them with a feather and they were to keep track of where they were touched and how many times. He only toughed the man with the feather, but the woman also said she felt the same thing. The only thing she didn’t feel was when he took it one step further and said only twins usually feel this. He drew on the man’s wrist area. She did not feel that. After they were in-blindfolded he told them that she was not touched, yet she said she felt it. Then, he said the only thing you didn’t feel was the drawing he made on the man, but when he went to show it to her it was gone. Yes, as suspected it now was on her wrist.

Anyway, his show was entertaining and was something out of the ordinary to watch. Thankfully, we have one more sea day before Ceuta, Spain. Sadly, Sammi has decided to switch our show times again tomorrow, when we hoped to get to be earlier for our tour.
