Almost every cruises we were on, there are multiple charismatic speakers that knew their subjects well and spoke with such enthusiasm that they have a cult like following onboard with packed venue…. This section of the cruise we have Fred Cink the astrology guy that takes us on a cruise through the galaxy (see example pics of his presentation)… And what an eye opening trip 🤩
On our prior cruises.. Theres Robert the Naturalist, Joe the Antarctica historian, Gary the route 66 expert..
By the end of the day P logged 33325 steps and R logged 25000 steps （more steps for P because he went out at night, see pics below ) … Hope we used up all the fat that we accumulated in the last 5 sea days… This is the second time in 6 months via cruise that we stopped in Honolulu… 1st time we joined an excursion tour group and were bused around the island… Did a little of everything including snorkeling… This second time around we were mainly on foot and more tuned in with the local scenery and understand the fabric of the culture…
Also we noticed birds here are not afraid of humans.. Heres a bird waiting patiently for a man to catch something…
Bus ride plus Uber plus one hour hike and we reached the top of Diamond Head crater….
Someone told us best thing to eat in Honolulu is Japanese food and it’s true… Freshest chirashi and tuna steak 😋
Happy hour at Waikiki Beach
On dreams… not sure why but almost nightly now we plunge into deep sleep with abundant vivid dreams.. Is it the mattress or the gentle rocking motion of the ship?
On drinks… We called our blog site happy hours Ahoy because we thought we are going to drink every afternoon like we used to. Turns out we don’t feel the need to do this daily anymore…. Maybe every couple of days…. Heres one with delicacy P brought 😉… Yes, with all the abundant food selections on the ship, we are delighted with this classic Taiwanese snack..
…. I want to see this world before I go to the next..
…. That is the topic of today’s enrichment class taught by the fabulous Fred Cink… Learned so many cool facts about the sun and coincidentally the Sun is out after hiding for 3 days… and calmer sea too !
It has 6 bloomed flowers now (from 4).. It also provides entertainment for R as she can stare at them for hours and paint… Great way to pass the time during sea days..
