Swells and Swims

Wednesday 1st June  Swells and Swims in the Spas We woke today to a fair swell. Although it didn't bother us too much, Heather chose to stay in bed rather than have breakfast. We had a late breakfast and then Rob and I went for a walk all around the ship, exploring places like the fitness centre, pools, spas, wave-rider, rock-climbing wall etc. It was quite cool outside. With a captive audience there were many "specials" on at the many shops in the mall on the ship. Paul bought himself a new watch and Rob and I bought a few souvenirs. We went to a very interesting talk from the captain, the first engineer and the director of the hotel and services aho happened to be an Australian. We learnt alot about this incredible ship and many people had questions for the captain. We found out that this is one of the biggest cruise ships sailing the world. We had a late lunch and then decided to brave the spas. The more protected hot spas were full so we had to venture outside to the hot spas. We got in very quickly and by keeping our shoulders under the water, we were comfortable. The outside temperature was about 9 degrees. We stayed in for about 15 minutes before very quickly moving into the vacated spas that were under cover, out of the wind. After another amazing dinner we went to the Palace theatre to see a fantastic dance show.
