The weather has now calmed down, and the heat has arrived. It is now noon local time, or 9am UK, and the outside temperature is 31 degrees. The sea is calm, with a gentle breeze of around 10 to 12 mph. It was a bit overcast earlier, but the sun is now breaking through.
We have another day of this before our next, brief stop,at Salalah in Oman.
Though it has been days at sea, life has not been slow. Ian's golf has been starting the day at 0945, even Sue has a go occasionaly. After that is the morning quiz, or may be go to listen to lecture. Cup of tea is then called for, before stroll round the decks and lunch. To day we have another time change at 2pm, when we will be four hours ahead of UK time. This shortens the afternoon, so today we are going to try to learn the Salsa, instead of Ballroom dancing. Another quiz at 4.15, and then it is time to start to think about getting ready to do our mile round the deck. We are getting quite good now. It is taking us 16 minutes or there abouts. When we started, it took 20. Having got that out of the way, we can sit on our balcony, glass in hand and watch the sunset. Our cabin is on the starboard side of the ship. ( it faces south when we are heading east).
Dinner at 8.30, then the cabaret, then maybe some bopping, and time for bed. Sooo exhausting.
