Our last day of the long Pacific Ocean sail. Tomorrow we will reach Nuka Hiva. The weather has been wonderful all the way. Every day like the one pictured-
Last night we were entertained by some wonderful Irish singers, dancers, and musicians from Dublin. Judging by the audience reaction, this was the most popular entertainment we’ve had on the ship!
The Takoradi Market Circle, which was huge in downtown Takoradi, has been closed by the government because of safety concerns. In response, many of the vendors set up a pop up market on the pier. Unlike other locations, the sellers here were extremely polite, grateful for sales, and never bothered people to make a sale. When I purchased a necklace, the man who sold it blessed me for buying from him!
John’s 72nd birthday was celebrated yesterday at sea on the way to the Canary Islands. We had a lovely breakfast in the dining room, where the waiters sang Happy Birthday in Indonesian! Upon returning to our stateroom, we were surprised by a visit from room service with a birthday cupcake and note from the Captain. In the evening we ate at the Pinnacle Grill with friends and John had a special birthday cake. While we were eating , our room stewards decorated the cabin for another birthday surprise!
Looking good! Sherry
