Tuesday, December 9, 2014 - Crusing the Indian Ocean Sailing to Zanzibar, Tanzania

At Sea Enroute to Zanzibar, Tanzania

We slept late until 8:30.  I went for coffee and then had a hair appointment.  Gigi from South Africa cut my hair as she wanted it rather than cutting it as I wanted it.  Well at least it may be more manageable now even though it is too short.  She criticized how Jimmy has been cutting my hair!

Tim went to one of the cultural lectures while I read.  We went to the South African buffet for lunch and ate with Sandy and Arlene from Palm Beach.  “Enough of me talking about how much money we have, why don’t you talk about how much money I have”!!!!  J

Tim napped during the afternoon until his Spanish lesson and I read – Armistead Maupin’s new book “The Days of Anna Madrigal”.  Need to finish it before leaving the ship as it goes back to the ship library.

It is a beautiful day at sea with very calm seas and little winds.  We will arrive in Zanzibar early on Thursday.

We went to Horizon’s Lounge for drinks and then to the dining room for dinner.  We requested a table for two and the maître d’ asked if we wanted to share a table.  We said “No” but then he told us it was in Prime 7 – so we said “YES”!  We just hoped it wasn’t the couple from SC!  It was a mother and daughter – Sheila and Michelle.  Michelle had just graduated from UVA and had also been diving in the Seychelles, so we had lots to talk about.  Michelle is a labor attorney in Miami representing corporations.  We had fun.

At 9:30 we went to the show in the theatre – “Dancing with the Hits” and it was excellent.  We then went back to Observation Lounge for music trivia with Kathie.  We only got 17 of 25!  We enjoyed drinks with George, Grant, Monica and Richard and then went to bed – it was late!
