We woke up feeling less seasick since the seas were a little calmer - not exactly calm, mind you, but at least I was able to shower without hanging on the whole time. Breakfast was a nice buffet with fabulous French pastries. Uh oh – will have to watch that. We ate with a couple from Illinois, Ann Meredith and George. The ship was supposed to get to the island of Takapoto this morning, we would tender over and have a picnic lunch at a beach. Unfortunately the weather was still nasty and rainy so plan B was put in play and we had the picnic lunch on board. It was delicious even without the sand. Many people went onshore anyway but we elected to stay on board and enjoy the views from the bar on the 9th deck where it is surprisingly stable, perhaps because it’s in the middle of the ship. I had a local beer, Hinano, as recommended by Bob and Barbara who didn’t steer me wrong. Delicious. They also sell Desperados in one of the bars, which is a beer with tequila that Don and Brenda had in France and enjoyed. That will be next.
Dinner at a large table of Australian, New Zealand and American couples and one Russian man. Lots of laughs. The menu was salad, roast beef and a dessert that was good even though I don't know what it was.
WiFi on the ship is mostly not available, so that's a shame. Some of the island ports have WiFi so I'll update as I can.
