Date: Feb. 25, 2007
Location: At Sea
Next Port: Muara, Brunei, Feb. 26
Quick Summary: We had an enjoyable day at sea after an action-packed day in Singapore.
Report: Larry and Karen both got in their early morning workouts before breakfast, church, bridge and lectures.
Larry attended William Stubbs’ first lecture, “Spice Ships and Silk Road: How the West Invaded the East and Why,” followed by “The History and Culture of Malaysia and Brunei,” by Sandra Bowern. Both are good presenters and provided interesting information about this part of the world.
In the afternoon we enjoyed reading on the aft deck and then tea which featured a sumptuous strawberry buffet. Larry even joined Karen in the afternoon trivia game. Our team didn’t win!
At 6:00 p.m., we all joined our neighbors in our corridor for the third block party. This gathering was to meet and welcome those who joined us in Singapore for the beginning of the third segment of the World Cruise. Our small world story: We met a couple who live next door to the only people we know in Rockford, Ill.
We decided to skip the captain’s formal welcome reception and, instead, we elected to have a small, quiet dinner in our suite.
It is hard to believe that tomorrow in Brunei will mark the end of our seventh week on the Voyager. And to think that the longest cruise we had taken before was a short two weeks! It is hard to believe we have been onboard so long and have seen so much.
