The day didn’t really get started for me until late afternoon. I slept all day – really not feeling so great – bad head cold/sore throat, etc. It seems many people on board have this. I knew I didn’t feel well when I missed bridge!
Doug slept late too, but did get up to hear the enrichment speaker. The ambassador spoke about South Africa: Africa’s Great Power. The afternoon speaker’s topic was The Apartheid Legacy. Both were excellent as usual. I was sorry to have missed them, but caught the last one on the ship’s tv later that night.
I finally got up to go to book club so I didn’t miss the discussion of this great book. Then decided after seeing all the mardi gras decorations all over the ship, that I would try to eat in the dining room. So, we did and it was fun with all the decorations and mardi gras menu. For every such occasion, the wait staff dress up in a fun attire. Here is a picture of our two waiters:
As you can see, it was oh so very festive! We all got beads to wear. The whole room was decorated in gold, purple, and green.
After dinner, I went back to bed and Doug worked on e-mails, etc. Have to get better before getting to Africa!
