Sea Day Partly Cloudy with a few showers. Temp 20c Slight Sea.
Evon Anderson gave a lecture this morning entitled " The Polynesians-the mysteries of Easter Island" both Betty & I went to it. She talked about Polynesia in General with not as much about Easter Island as we would have liked but it was interesting. At 12.15pm Geoff was giving another of his lectures "Malaysians are living in Harmony, but with challenges". He told us the history of Malaysia with it's British and French history. He did say that Singapore got kicked out of Malaysia but a book I have previously read said Singapore wanted to leave because their population was largely Chinese. While giving us details of Penang he mention that real estate is cheap there at present. He showed a photograph of 2 blocks of apartments where each apartment has a complete floor with 4 bathroom, 4 bedrooms and a maids quarters and they sell for $600,000 each. Our villa in the retirement village costs more than that. The photo did show Mosque in between the towers and he said if you are looking to buy don't get one so close to a mosque unless you don't mind being woken up by the call to prays. At 12.15pm the Band played Dixieland Jazz in the Atrium which I would have liked to go to also. Betty & Coral did go and said it was good.
I did my 4 laps around deck 7 this morning and Betty did twice around this afternoon. Entertainment for us tonight was "Maggie presents Show Stoppers" in the Vista Lounge. Maggie is Australian, she sings, tells jokes and plays the piano. Just too much talent for one person. She was good.
Early night tonight because we have an early start tomorrow in Easter Island.
