Ground Hog Day Mark II .... 102 days to go

 A bit more of a lazy start today, which tends to put things out of whack a little bit.  Arriving up at deck 14 we found that our usual tables were all taken.  By finding an acceptable substitute, we were starting to get back on track.

The mornings seem jam-packed, and everyone has somewhere to be at certain times….  As I lazily sit on deck typing my blog until the battery runs out, Garry is off to the lectures, Carry (my sister) if off to Zumba, Brian is at the gym or anything that has the word sport in its description. 

I won’t bore you with our repetitive routine, so I will skip straight to the afternoon where we spent a few hours lounging at the back of deck 11 watching as we passed by the many little islands and reefs of the Great Barrier Reef.








Unfortunately, we would be hanging a left at Cape York in the middle of the night. It has always been a highlight when you could sit outside and watch as we pass Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday Islands… and then that small channel that takes us into the Arafura Sea.

We had heard on the grapevine that the commentary from the Reef pilot was not on the agenda for this cruise, in other words, Princess didn’t pay for that service.

Lovely sunset out the back




Tonight’s entertainment was Trevor Knight and anyone who has been on a Princess cruise would know exactly who I am talking about.  But alas all that fresh sea air has got the better of us so Garry and I adjourned for an early night's sleep.
