Good night’s rest, Richard will spend the day in bed to shake this bug and the lucky boy had breakfast and morning tea in bed seeing I will be playing nurse maid today.

Outside it is very humid temperature of high 30⁰C, overcast, the blue Pacific Ocean is very calm and peacefully. Saw a pod of dolphins this morning and many turtles throughout the day from our balcony.

To leave Richard in peace after getting him a morning coffee I went to the Princess Theatre for a 10am Port talk on “The Neotropical Rainforest” with speaker Bill Fall which was very interesting including his photos with captions, followed by at 11am “Grand Panama Experience Documentary” a DVD by Princess photographer of our transition through the Panama Canal. Will buy these DVD’s at the end of the cruise, as it will be a great experience to look back on and remember.

Spoke with Bill Fall about putting a name to my photos that I took going through the Panama Canal for our TravelPod blog so will catch up with him at his Q&A at 3pm on Deck 5 Atrium. The afternoon passed quickly and it is time to see Bill armed with my laptop I had Bill all to myself, he was very helpful with naming and putting my Panama photos in folders. Now I can do that day’s blog as I know what photo I am looking at.

Throughout the afternoon there was lots of sightings of turtles and pods of dolphins from our balcony.

Time for an early dinner Richard is a little better, the Bordeaux Dining Room is a little busy being 6.30pm so the Food and Beverage Supervisor handed us a Pager to let us know when a table for two was ready.

Short wait as we browsed through the Duty Free Shops, but once seated it was very cold from the air-conditioner so Constantine changed table settings for us. Only two courses now, thinking of our waistlines and the deserts we shouldn’t be having before indulging in our nightly fresh fruit salad in the Horizon Court.

Another early night till Richard is better, then we can see shows in the Princess Theatre. Sleep came easy to the gentle rolling of the cruise ship sailing across a calm ocean.
