Today is the first of five days at sea on our way to Hawaii. We met Terry and Gail at breakfast. Terry is a lecturer in theology (retired) and Gail is a linguist so we had plenty to talk about. Malcolm is reading Hans Kung's "What I Believe" (it is only available in German in the ship's library) and Terry knew the history of how Kung was almost excommunicated for his views.
We played Scrabble.
Kelly and Maja spoke in the showroom about the Shore Excursions in Honolulu and Pago Pago and later on Kelly gave us her personal experience of Oahu.
We had the first lecture on Life Forms in the Ocean by Dr Adrian Cooper of London University.
After dinner with Linda, Wayne and Gale (from California) we went out to see the sunset and the full moon.
More interesting were the school of tuna that followed the ship.
The show tonight was an ABBA FAB group who sang well but were not quite as good as the Aussie group we saw at Taronga Zoo. In real life the Agneta was the mother of the handsome young Bjorn!
