Last night we returned to Nuku Hiva so that we could have the Polynesian night party in the calm harbor. This morning while they loaded cargo to bring back to Papeete we went back to the village and the cyber cafe. I was able to check email and update the blog. No more internet until Thursday, although I just learned that the ship had a satellite signal last night at 11:00 pm. Jeesh. They should make an announcement or something. (Just kidding)
Back to the ship to do another load of laundry and a little reading. During lunch (salad, roast beef and fruit pastry) we moved to Ua Pou again. The seas were the roughest they've been since the first day. We went back to the cabin and watched The Queen with Meryl Streep. Well, I watched it and Michael napped. We leave this afternoon and have a sea day tomorrow so I hope it calms down soon.
Tonight's dinner was the first meal that I didn't care for. The starter was a nice pea soup, but the fish entree was overcooked and tough and the vegetables were like a frozen mixed vegetable medley. Dessert was a nice mango ice cream custard thing. The seas have quieted some so tonight should be one of those where we're gently rocked all night.
We get small bars of soap and shampoo replenished. We brought our own shampoo but we still get a new one frequently. There are now six bottles in the bathroom. On the other hand, she took our slightly used bars of soap every day and once didn't leave a replacement. When I tried to tell her she could leave the used soap, I think she said that it was "required" that she replace it. So we started hiding the soap in Michael's dop kit and leaving the new one as a spare. Now she must think we never wash our hands.
