Woke up at 7am when our breakfast was delivered and then went straight back to bed until 10am. It was too windy to walk out on deck this morning so may as well sleep in. Just made it in time for morning trivia. Tim would be disappointed that I didn't know the names of the blues brothers, as that was one of the questions.
Despite the wind and the 3.5 meter waves, Nana and I did our daily deck walk in the afternoon. The deck was covered in a fine layer of salt, and the wind was hitting my face so hard with all the fine sea spray. I believe I got a workout and a facial scrub in one. I had to keep cleaning my sunglasses.
Set our clocks back another hour tonight.
Day 17
Nana went for a walk this morning with our cabin neighbour. She said she spotted a man reading 50 shades of grey. She told me he looked to be in his sixties. Better keep away from that creeper.
We have a Piracy Drill today. Apparently there has been pirate activity in the Indian Ocean. I noticed 4 security guards keeping watch out on deck, and a massive sign that reads 'security warning keep 50 meters away'. They also have all these giant hoses connected up to spray the pirates if they get close. I think the hoses would be more effective if connected to the boats sewerage. I am watching the state of origin for the first time, NSW has got off to a good start in the first half of game 1. They have the game playing up top on the big screen.
Clocks back another half hour tonight.
Day 18
A rough and wet day today. We slept for 3 hours in the afternoon. We will go see one of the show time events tonight as the movie options aren't great. There is a movie called 'flight' with Denzel Washington on at 10.30pm, but honestly who is going to stay up to watch that before an excursion day. They should have had it on during the day in my opinion.
Mumbai tomorrow. Nana and I aren't excited about Mumbai. Some people are doing an overland tour to see the Taj Mahal but then you have to get a flight to meet up with the ship at a later destination.
