Tried a new place for breakfast this morning. The International Cafe is mostly pastries, but they also have a decent breakfast sandwich. Barb says this is now our go to breakfast place.
We signed up for excursions about a month before the cruise. One we wanted in Bora Bora was full, so we were placed on a wait list. Well we got the tickets. Starts at 12:30 and we are being transported on a open air wagon. Lovely. Nothing better than a hot and humid afternoon. I would regret this except for the fact that the excursion includes Bloody Marys.
Barb has decided we are down to two meals per day and is currently deciding between lunch and dinner for today. Lunch is "casual" while dinner is "smart casual", the difference being shorts or slacks.
We just got buzzed by a helicopter and after a quick circle around the ship it took off to the West. According to the GPS there is nothing in the way of land out there. Good thing it had pontoons. Shortly thereafter the Captain came on the PA system to say that the ship had to slow down due to cooling problems with the engines. Seems the cooling, in part at least, is accomplished with sea water and the current sea water temperature is 89°. The current air temperature is 86°.
Lazy afternoon of just reading and relaxing, the kind of stuff we do best. Barb watched the shipboard video on Apia and decided we will just walk into town tomorrow. No tour.
Loretta, Barb says she is having as much trouble seeing Dolphins as you had seeing whales.
Going to watch a movie now and then get ready for a hot and humid day in Western Samoa.
