This is the last sea day – tomorrow we arrive in Africa. I think everyone is ready for land! We were a bit tired, so slept as late as we could before starting the day’s activities. There are a lot of good choices today, so it’s hard to decide which ones we want to do. I went to my bridge class which I’m really enjoying. Doug went to the enrichment lecture with our favorite speaker about Africa. We are learning so much about this country, especially South Africa.
I went to the cooking class with Ray Bear again. He is such fun to cook with. Today we made fresh tuna ceviche, buttermilk fried chicken and banana splits. It was not like banana splits I’ve made. We made a caramel sauce from scratch (learned you are never to stir the caramel sauce while it is cooking – just wipe down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush.) The presentation of the tuna ceviche was beautiful – as pictured here!
While I was having fun cooking, Doug went to the Mongolian BBQ up on the Lido deck. He really enjoyed it.
Today’s tea time was a special Indonesian one. Doug was too full, so I went just to see what it was like. The decor was all Indonesian as well as the special teas with assorted pastries – two very Indonesian. I had their wonderful jasmine tea and tried the banana-like fritter and the coconut wrapped one. Very tasty and fun.
After dinner, I was starting to feel crummy – nauseated, cold symptons, etc. so I went to bed so I’d be ready for Africa in the morning.
