We had 3 days at sea enroute to Richards Bay, South Africa. The first day was quite uneventful which gave me time to catch up on this blog and load photos for 3 fun filled days in Kenya & Tanzania. The seas were relatively calm and the temperature still in the upper 80’s. During lunchtime we saw a humpback whale playing in the water for quite awhile but it was too far away to get a photo. Hopefully we’ll see more as we approach the Cape. We’ve had a South African lecturer, Daniel Silke, onboard giving talks about South Africa’s history. Today’s talk covered projections for the future listing both obstacles and opportunities. He has been on Regent previously and his lectures have been quite enlightening.
The second day was quite uneventful with the only new activity was teaching the card game Pooch to some LCT (Luxury Cruise Talk) people to get them ready for GAME & SAMBA, the acronyms for the safari and next cruise segment. Pooch will be a daily activity with our group.
The third day was cooler, cloudy and very windy making walking on the deck a challenge. A galley lunch in the Compass Rose was the lunch special. The buffet stations were set up inside the galley with dishes from different countries and we ate in the Compass Rose. This was Carolina’s last night onboard and Capt John invited about 15 of us to join him & Carolina for cocktails in the Stars Lounge. The party lasted until around 9:00 and we almost missed dinner. We did miss the show but added $300.00 to our casino chip collection. Tomorrow we arrive in Richards Bay, South Africa and head off for our 4 day safari. We return to the ship in Cape Town and will have 2 full days there so I probably won’t post again until Sunday Nov 23.
