ST HELENA TO RIO (DAY 4)
10 December 2006- Sunday
4th full day at sea.
Still overcast and few people up at 7:15 breakfast. Went up to the Charleston room to watch the sea roll by and stumbled on a rehearsal of the Polish couple who were preparing for thir afternoon classical concert this afternoon- he's a violonist and she plays the piano- and he's good. She speaks very halting English and he may not speak it at all.
Then back to the computer until noon and then up for lunch. The captain gave his noon report and said we were out of the low and the sun has come out so after lunch I spend an hour on deck then quick shower- sun hot and directly overhead- hope the sun block works. Then over to the concert and back to the room to dress for dinner (formal night) and that means free drinks on the captain. Found out I don't have to drink the cheap champagne they serve so I get 2 Manhattans- good thing because they closed the bar 15 minutes early so the captain can give his farewell speech. Dinner was lobster and baked Alaska.
Just before going to dinner they slipped tomorrow's schedule under the door and said that the internet for debarking passengers closes at noon. I dam sure don't want to loose any minutes so I'm working on the blog tonight to upload it in the morning. Then will use the remaining minutes for emails or surfing but I will use all my minutes- O course, all the other passengers have the same idea so it may be a zoo up there tomorrow That's where my wireless connection comes in handy- I don't have to use their computer. Don't know where I'll upload the blog during the tuesday, wednesday and Thursday we spend in Rio- if I don't find a place I'll upload it when I get home.
So tonight it's the last 2 episodes of Lost.
