Night under the Stars

Greetings,

I tried a different yesterday. Had a snack for breakfast at the Corinthian Cafe. Met folk and gabbed. Was invited for lunch at the Verandah, great service and food. I had dinner in the Lido, which is a cafeteria with a great selection of foods. Went to the evening show in the theater,ok - nothing great. I do enjoy the dancers (12), but I do not warm up to magicians. At 10pm went to the 9th deck aft. One of the bridge officers walked those present to the stars in the sky. It was a fantastic experience. The stars for all aglow. The ships lights were turned off, so we could see the stars clearer. It was spectacular. I even got to see the Southern Cross, a unique grouping in the southern hemisphere. It was just great to be officially star gazing. I do it enough, when I get lost in thought. It was fun.

Two more days before we reach "KK" Kota Kinabalu. Two more days at sea and then Hong Kong. All is well and I am busy enough, with meals, lectures, movies, conversation, reading, sleeping.
