March 30 - at sea


The dripping stopped during the night, so hopefully that is all done. Overnight the crew decorated the ship for Easter with a big display of large chocolate eggs and balloons in the public areas. This morning we lounged on the promenade deck. The seas are very calm, sometimes eerily so. We see lots of those little flying fish skittering away from the ship and in the distance there was a pod of dolphins or small whales gathered around perhaps feeding since the group didn't move.

We crossed the equator around dinner time. They had the Neptune ceremony this afternoon which we've seen before and it is usually a crowded event where you have trouble seeing anything anyway, so we skipped it. Just for the record, up to this point the water has been draining counterclockwise in the tub. We'll see if that changes.
A woman at lunch told us about the waiver they have to sign for the pedicab tour in Vietnam since the pedicabs are unregulated, uninsured, unlicensed and unsafe. ( I added that last one)  Makes you want to run out and sign up. Actually we think we'll hire a couple in Tokyo, where I imagine they are regulated, insured and licensed.  We'll see ...

The show tonight was Russell Harrison, a singer from NZ who was on the last cruise and is very good. 

No dripping when we got back tonight, so perhaps we are past that little adventure.
