1 March – At Sea

Bright and sunny but humid.

Trivia team was depleted again, as two American ladies did not turn up – realised later that they had formed their own team of two.

Did not hold us back and we equalled our best ever score of 17. Still three short of the winners, who had a clean sweep of 20. We would have had one more point if my correct answer had not been overruled – may look again at transfer offers.

Should have had correct answer to painter of “Girl with a pearl earring” – Vermeer – as we have had the question before but name of female lead in Phantom – Christine – was beyond us.

One of our friends has a recommendation for a restaurant in Lima and we had a “Planning Meeting” on deck, with several bottles of contraband wine, to work out the details.

Finally decided that it would be lunch on our second day, 3 March. Would have preferred the first day, as no pressure on getting back to ship in time for departure.

No time for dancing and a bit too unsteady for pirouettes.
