Another “no diary” day (well, not in time anyway)

8.00 shower and breakfast. One of the couples from yesterday’s breakfast joined us again by coincidence. They were friendly so we were happy for the repeat.

9.15 we went “duty free alcohol” shopping, and had a tea.

10.00 trivia

11.00 we had a tour of the theatre. We got to go on stage and as the seas were rough, we could feel what it was like for the performers. Amazing that they can do what they do with that sort of movement underneath!

We wandered the ship for a while before lunch. Then had a sleep, and did some reading on the balcony.

4.30 it was trivia time.

Formal dinner night. I had my hawaii shirt on, with a suit – a good New Years Even compromise, in my mind. We had some photos and went to a show. Then passed the time until 11 when we celebrated NZ New Years. Then at midnight we did another New Years. Kaoru and I had our usual cuppa before bed, and went to bed at 1, just in time to say Happy New Year for Australia.
