loving your 'blog' Michael
I'm now up to Valparaiso, Chile (Feb 5th)
will read more tomorrow and will be sad when
I'm all caught up......
GREEN with envy -sounds like a fantastic trip!!

Not sure, I've coped with 5 so we'll see. I'm sure we'll be only too pleased to reach Tahiti, though. As for the mad woman, trust me, she wasn't entertainment!

You going to get bored with 10 days continuous at sea? Or do they lay on extra things to do? They could have kept the mad lady on board for extra entertainment!

Rather you than us mate, seen the weather on the news. However we are passing snow covered mountains and tomorrow and Sunday we'll be seeing glaciers, so probably matching you for temperatures.

Not sure you will get much sympathy from this end for temperatures of only 11/14/15 degrees where you are! Freezing plus here! Enjoy the penguins!

Keep me posted!

She's still on board. Apparently she's 84, but has upset most people she's talked to. Rumour has it something is going to happen, but no one knows what.

Did the grumpy lady get dumped in Recife or was she allowed back on board?

Someone dresses up as Neptune and we have to ask his permission to cross the equator. There are two teams who battle it out. The deck cadets form one (it's frightening how young they are) and the entertainment team dress up as pirates. Lots of silly games in the pool. The winners get hinged and have to kiss a fish!

Bit warmer with you than us then? Excuse my ignorance - but what actually happens on the boat when 'crossing the line'?

Thanks guys. Gareth, the store was depleted at dinner today! Jean, I'm having a great time!

Being nosey reading your blogs Michael. Sounds like you're having a great time
