Two days at sea

Once again we’re sailing west, setting our clocks back, and enjoying some marvelous weather while crossing the Tasman Sea.

Where am I?

So, what’s been happening?

Today, the main dining room put together a rather unique Sunday brunch. Rather than put out a big buffet and let people choose what they would like to sample, this brunch gave us everything!

When I was handed the menu I saw quite a selection of items. I sat for a moment just checking out the selection of foods under First Course. While reading the list the waiter came by my table with breakfast pasteries, some coffee, some orange juice and offered me champagne at the bargain price of 2-for-1.

Even with all of this food in front of me I started narrowing down what I wanted from the list of foods under First Course. While I was deciding, the waited brought to me a plate full of a big variety of goodies on it. It took me a second to realize that the plate that had just been delivered to me contained very small portions of everything on the menu!

I should have taken a photo of that first plate because it was beautiful and everything on it was fresh and delicious. However, I did take a photo of the second plate full of hot food items. Please ignore the bite I had already taken out of the Mini Chicken Cordon Bleu. I had already started to dive in when the thought of a photo occurred to me.

Everything on that plate was absolutely dee-lish! At this point I was getting pretty stuffed. Dessert was next and I’m not much of a dessert eater. However, when it arrived I couldn’t not try a bite of each.

When I walked away from that breakfast table I was most certainly in my happy place. So, I skipped lunch. I almost skipped dinner as well, but while walking through the Lido restaurant I saw this being served as an appetizer:

What a great day for food!

On Monday, I was out on the Lido deck, aft, in the Sea View Lounge when this happened:

These are the Maori performers we picked up in New Zealand and are traveling with us providing entertainment until we reach Sydney. It’s scenes like this that satisfy my goals for traveling. I’m mean look at that photo again. Three island women and Kahl Drogo!

So, what’s coming up?

Tomorrow we dock in Sydney, Australia. We’ll be there overnight so there’s lots of time to explore.

I’ll have more for you after we leave Sydney!
