Day at sea on route to Jeju, Korea

Wednesday, April 22

As we're moving into another time zone in Korea we had to move our clocks forward one hour, so our sleep in was a bit shorter than normal! We awoke to a sunny day and calm seas, although the air temperature was only about 10C. The On Location talk today was on Nagasaki, our first port in Japan, and David had an elderly Japanese man present some history on Japan which was very interesting.

It was warming up nicely so we had lunch around the mid ships pool while listening to Darlene and the HAL Cats band - they are very talented and it was a nice way to soak up some sun as well.

Then it was off to a presentation and trivia quiz about chocolate, our favorite subject! We didn't win but thanks to getting the bonus question correct we went close, although a lot of questions had an American flavor. After that it was time for some chores, so we headed to the laundry to make sure we had a good selection of clean clothes for the last part of our trip.

Tonight was the last formal night, and I got a chance to wear my new bow tie, as well as enjoy surf & turf again followed by soufflé - another delicious meal. We enjoy the Open dining option as we get to meet a lot of people and we love talking to them about places they have visited and where they live.

The show tonight featured a young Japanese pianist who was very good and she played an interesting selection of music. We finished the night by listening to Michael, a solo guitarist who has a nice voice and can play a wide variety of tunes.
