5th – 11th February
Cruising in the Pacific
We are in the middle of nine days at sea so
we have been catching up on our art classes as you can see below. Try and guess who painted which pictures.
Our itinerary included a cruise by Easter
Island. We had hoped to be close enough
to see many of the stone statues which Easter Island is famous for. However, we only managed to spot one group of
fifteen statues, which co-incidentally were the same fifteen statues that
Doreen is planning to paint in the art class.
You will note that all the statues look to the centre of the island,
with their backs to the sea. Slightly
disappointed that the cruise did not include a stop at Easter Island so that we
could see the statues close up.
We are continuing our two mile walk around
the deck every day and sit at the stern of the ship to recover afterwards.
After leaving Easter Island, the Captain
advised that she was diverting the ship north to avoid some bad weather that
was coming our way. However during the
night and early morning there were gale force winds (Force 9) and heavy seas
that were tossing the ship around, so that morning Doreen only managed the one
mile walk around the Promenade Deck.
