8th August

8th August
Sea Day Cloudy Temp 20c Moderate sea.
Narelle gave a port talk today for Easter Island. We are doing a private tour there with Coral which we booked through Louise. The island looks to be a very interesting place quite different to anywhere else we have been. There are lots of statues around which are carved out of the volcanic rock. More about it after we have been there. There is one negative to come out of this mornings talk that is there is no harbour there so we will have to use the ships tenders. If the sea is rough and at present it is, we will not be able to visit. Figures crossed it will have calmed down by then which it seems to be doing.
We recrossed the Equator a couple of days ago but they delayed the crossing ceremony until this morning because some people went to Muchu Pichu ( not sure of spelling) and they did not get back until yesterday. Because it's now a little cold outside they held the ceremony in the Atrium. People were 6 deep around the railings to see the Pollywogs put through their paces. As usual we had lunch with Coral who had been to Bridge in the morning and was having another session in the afternoon. I am up to page 600 of a book of 2070 which I hope to finish before Sydney so I read in the afternoon so did Betty. Entertainment wise tonight we went to the Princess Theatre for a show by Kuba Kawnik. He played an electronic Xylophone and he was terrific. We now have 2 of his CDs. He of course is the husband of last nights singer Rebecca Lowe.
