Kaoru slept through sunrise today.\u00a0 We got up just after 7, and went to breakfast at Waterfront again.\u00a0 We met a few other passengers again – it’s very enjoyable chatting away over a casual breakfast – we didn’t have to rush off for laser tag today, but did need to be out by 9 for our Edge activities though.\u00a0 So after a big breakfast for me, and a bennedict for Kaoru, we brushed our teeth and headed out to deck 14.\u00a0 Julie was already there, and receiving the bad news – 45 knot winds, so Edge is cancelled for the day.\u00a0 On the plus side, we get an extra day on our pass!<\/p>\n
Julie, Kaoru and I then went and did the day spa tour, and Julie signed up as Kaoru’s “partner”, meaning it only cost her $100 instead of $189.\u00a0 Given it’s a full glass of champagne when you’re in there, she’ll make her money back just on that!\u00a0 And the relax room without any kids will be good too.\u00a0 Kaoru and I then went and explored the ship a bit (the lower decks).\u00a0 Then relaxed in the reception area, before noticing that the Edge people were there, so went and booked the Segway for the 6 of us for tomorrow.<\/p>\n
It was then time for Kaoru and I to relax at the Oasis – the child-free area at the back of the ship.\u00a0 So we laid down there for 10 minutes, and were bored so came back to our room and did some studying (me Japanese, Kaoru driving) on our balcony.\u00a0 There were a few specs of rain and I didn’t want my book to get wet, so we came inside and had a lay down.<\/p>\n
Lunch was in the Waterfront restaurant, with the kids too.\u00a0 Then Dad wanted to check his email so he and I went in to the Casino and Kaoru went to the day spa.\u00a0 Dad and I went to see The Liars Club in the Marquee at 3.00, which was very amusing.\u00a0 Unfortunately we had to leave early and rush down to deck 2 for family photos at 4.00.<\/p>\n
Mum, Dad, Kaoru and I sat through the second half of the trivia while Julie and Darren got the kids fed and under control, and checked in to kids club.\u00a0 We saw a 7.00 show of Tony Williams playing the piano which was very entertaining, and then it was off to The Salt Grill for some Luke Mangan cousine for Mum’s birthday dinner.\u00a0 It was a very nice meal, but also very big and filling, so we walked around the deck for a few laps.\u00a0 Then it was time to call it a day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
