Despite not getting to bed until gone 1:00 didn't sleep too well. Another warm and humid day, 30 at 9:30. Breakfast with Barbara, Rob and Linda, then a mile with the former two. Sat on Promenade Deck with B & R and all six of us then had lunch together. Tonight at 22:30 we cross the equator back into the northern hemisphere. So we had to ask Neptune's permission. Another crossing the line ceremony was held, this time the battle was between the deck ca...

Up late and had breakfast with Rob and Linda. Rob and I then walked a mile. After working on my webpage (laptop is still extant), I joined Rob and Barbara on the Promenade Deck. When her Scrabble game finished, Linda joined us for lunch. Men won BoS. The Captain announced that the amount raised for the Vanuatu Disaster Relief Fund is now over £7345 with maybe more to come. I was paired with Yvonne for quoits and we got through to the second round. I t...

Today is Wednesday 18 March, remember that! Yesterday I forgot to mention that it was the 4th anniversary of the death of Barbara's husband, Barry. Another glorious start to the day. Breakfast. Mile.

Today was barbecue day, but for some reason there were no tables out by the Riviera Pool, so we ate in the Horizon and it was so hot. We would normally have eaten by the Crystal Poo...

Wednesday 18 March. Today we went from tomorrow to yesterday! We crossed the International Dateline overnight and went from GMT +13 to GMT -11. We're reliving Wednesday 18 March. Pago Pago (pronounced Pango Pango) is on the American Samoan island of Tutuila. We docked about 7:45. The weather was very hot, humid and mostly overcast. Rob and some other guys from the ship played golf, so the rest of us grabbed a bus and paid $20 each for a four hour tour. Th...

Still in norovirus lockdown, but it looks like things may be back to normal tomorrow. Weather is getting much warmer and the humidity is on the rise. It was 30 at 11:30. They've posted our route in relation to Cyclone Pam on the board by the Crow's Nest and we passed a lot closer to the centre than I expected (though I may have misread the chart!). But we're into much calmer waters now. After breakfast and my mile, I sat out on the Prom Deck with Barbar...
