5th August

5th August
Sea Day Partly Cloudy Temp 22c Low Swell,
 causing some movement of the ship.
This morning We split for breakfast Betty had it in the cabin, I went to Horizons and then to a lecture. The lecture was titled " Is Australia America's Best Friend" We certainly have been in a few wars together as catalogued by the speaker. We have the ANZAS treaty which used to include New Zealand but since they refused to let nuclear powered ship into their ports they are no longer in it. The lecture was  a potted history of our relations with America in recent times which I found very interesting. I then joined Betty at a Photography Seminar given by Antonio one of the photographers on board. As usual we had lunch with Coral who we found out slept in and missed her Bridge session this morning but she went this afternoon. Betty did her exercises in the cabin this afternoon I went on a walker in the Gym because it was quite cool outside you see we are not used to temperatures in the low 20s.
Tonight all 8 of us from our dining table decided to go to La Scala Pizzeria for dinner because we had already seen the menu and most of us did not fancy any of it. I think we just wanted a change of venue. We had all already. Decided that tonight we would go to the production show that was repeated from last night. What we did not know was there had been a last minute change because one of the cast is ill. Instead two of the crew who normally work back stage in the theatre sang and even accompanied themselves on a keyboard. They were better than some of the normal entertainers we have seen. Tomorrow we will be in Lima for an overnight stay.
