Sea Day Sunny some cloud. Temp 25c smooth sea
Betty was going to go to Tai Chi this morning until she read the Princess Patter and found out that the time had changed to 7.30am. I suspect that this was because the Church Service this morning was at 9am in the same venue. We did go to church and the preacher went longer than normal and we had to rush to the other end of the ship to catch the port talk on Pago Pago. It had started but we managed to get seats down at the front. As usual after the talk we went to deck 5 for coffee. Today the buffet was Italian "Osteria" The movie this afternoon was "Captain Phillips" which is about the hijacking of a ship, not quite the film you want to see while on a ship but we are out of the pirate area now. This afternoon we both went for a walk round deck 7. At lunch we saw Bev & Ian you said they were going for a Pizza tonight so we decided to join them. All 8 of us went so it would have been a quiet time for Arty our dinner waiter. We tend to be one for all and all for one which is great. Only Howard went to a show tonight because he did not see the Motown show last night, he went to the Captain Circle party instead. The rest of us did not want to go to Maggie's last show because none of us liked her first show. We listened to the music in the Atrium by the Tritones Duo until they finished when it was time for the second seating dinner. Then Betty watched a movie on our cabin TV entitled Just Go With It she tells me it's a chick flick so I read the Herald Sun instead. Tomorrow we should be able to go on land at last in Papeete.
