Day 13: At sea, towards Melbourne


This won’t take long.

It was a beautiful day today. Smooth seas, easy sailing, no being thrown around, blue skies … a simply gorgeous day. Certainly way too good to be at work.

MBW and I found ourselves a nice spot on Level 15 aft (that’s the blunt end of the ship) sundeck and read our books.

Several reasons for that:

  • It was a beautiful day
  • Masks are not mandatory when outside
  • I still wasn’t feeling 100% and outside on the aft deck was probably the safest place – for me and everyone else
  • We had nothing else to do and nowhere else to be.

I had a nap right there in my sofa chair on Level 15.

I wish I could be a little more prescriptive about where we are exactly, but I don’t really know. The blue dot (below) will give you an approximate location.

Dinner tonight in Botticelli restaurant at a nice intimate table for two – same reasons as before, just keeping anything that I might have (or might not have) to myself – then we found a quiet corner of Explorer’s Bar to listen to some live music and then participate in a fun game of “10 in 60 seconds”.

You have 60 seconds to figure out and write down (for example) the “top 10 pizza toppings world wide”, or the “top 10 countries with the most billionaires”.

All good clean fun, but then who would have guess that sweet corn is one of the top 10 worldwide favourite pizza toppings?

And that, as they say, is that. Game over, day done, and nothing left to do but go to sleep and prepare to do it all over again tomorrow.

If I had $1 for every time I’ve washed or sanitised my hands in the last couple of days, I could have bought a suite on this ship for MBW.
