A Marvelously Mundane Day II - The Sequel - November 22
Another quiet day with my usual activities. The one thing I did different was to hear the pipe organ play. The pipe organ is in the center of the Atrium from deck 3 up to deck 5. It does not play every day and every time it has so far I had been playing trivia. I made sure I was on deck 4 (so I could look up and down) before 1 o'clock. It played three songs and until today, I did not know that some of the figures move. That was my one out-of-the-ordinary activity for the day.
At dinner we talked about what we were doing over the next few ports. We agreed that we would not be at the table tomorrow because a local group is going to present a show at 7pm (only the one show) and we wanted to attend.
The singers and dancers performed "It Takes Two" and after the show I had a walk around the deck and called it a night.
This evening we passed Cape Agulhas - the southernmost point in Africa and the farthest south we will go on this cruise. Cape Town tomorrow.
4pm trivia - 3 other "orphans" (their teammates were on safari, also) and I played together. We had 12 out of 18 and the winning team had 17.
1. What country consumes the most coffee per year?
2. Black-eyed peas are not actually peas. What are they?
3. How many furlongs in a mile?
4. What is a group of moths called?
5. When was the first Nobel Prize awarded?
1. U.S.
2. legumes or beans
3. 8
4. eclipse
5. 1901
Smooth sailing until next time!
Hi there. Going on a Grand Voyage soon and wondering what to do about additional tipping. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteI base it on the level of service I get. For the stewards that go out of their way for me, I give in the neighborhood of $1/day. Some people give more, some less, some give no extra.
