Tuesday May 28 – At Sea

Today we sailed through the Malacca Straits with Indonesia on the port side and Malaya on the starboard side.  Dolphins played around the ship this morning.  Clock went back another hour today so we are now three hours behind Melbourne time.  I love these 25 hour days. We had another formal night tonight with a good production show of Sweet Soul Music.  This was the last show by this group as they have been on the ship for nine months and are getting off in Dubai.  The next group of singers and dancers boarded the ship in Singapore with 22 different shows for us.  As yet we have not met them.  We are keeping up our exercise regime, which is necessary because of all the tempting desserts. Technology has moved on since our last long sea cruise. User friendly interfaces have been developed and the Internet connection is more reliable and faster. They offer timed connections by the minute but also time blocks by the day so you don’t have to keep logging off and logging on. This makes it much easier to run a business while on the ship and reduces the reliance on wifi at ports of call.
