We came up with the idea of watching the sunrise this morning.  So 5.15 we were running up to deck 14 to see what we could see.  Unfortunately it was cloudy so we didn’t get the best view, but it was still nice to be up with so little activity on the ship.  We couldn’t eat though, so we just had some tea, and at 7.00 we joined a morning stretch class.  My body really needed that as I was quite sore – possibly from the rock climbing, although that was 2 days ago.

Finally we could have breakfast.  We were with the same couple as yesterday, and another gentleman, and another lady.  We were having a great talk, and before we knew it, it was after 9.15 and Kaoru and I had to rush off.  This morning we started our Edge activities by climbing a ladder up the bow (front) of the ship, with Julie and David.  It was quite windy, which made it a bit more exciting.  We had to learn how to operate two hooks to ensure we were always connected by at least one.    Then we did our “Titanic Moment” – standing up the very front of the ship.  We had a number of photos taken up there.

We found Mum and Dad and joined them for a while.  Then went for a flying fox ride at 11ish.  But then we had our new experience – segway driving at 12!  None of us had tried this before, and it took quite a bit to really feel in complete control of the vehicle.  David was very good at it, and Kaoru also picked it up very well.  Once finished we were “inducted” and ready to do the obstacle course, but that will be in our next session.  Kaoru and I then went to see “Hunt for the Wilderpeople”.  We had missed the first half hour, but had seen it before, and it was still very amusing.

I decided it was time to get in the pool, so I got changed.  And arrived just in time for it to be closed for the pool volleyball comp.  As luck would have it, they needed another player, so I jumped up and in I went.  So we played for about an hour, which was great fun.  Then it was 3.00 spirit tasting – to decide if we wanted to purchase any duty free alcohol.  Dad, Julie and I worked out how much to buy between us all.  I had time for a quick nap, before going to trivia at 5.00 with Mum and Dad.  Kaoru arrived just as it finished.  At 7.00 we went to the Marquee to see a musical show – Disconnected, which was quite fun.  Then it was off for dinner, and relax for a bit, before a 9.45 “Guess That Tune” game show, where we had to pick the song, and be first to run up to a chair on the stage to name it.  that was just Darren, Julie, Kaoru and I.  Finally it was time to call it a night, after a few Long Island Ice Teas.
