Cruise World Day 4- Another Great Day at Sea

Cruise World Day 4- Another Great Day at Sea-3rd full day Friday, January 8

·         I awoke before room service arrived.

·         Headed to 8:15AM Qi Jong class, but Cathy was conducting a private Tai Chi sword class

·         Thus, I returned later, at 9AM, for regular Tai Chi.  I read the problem incorrectly today!!

·         I came up to sea view aft pool area and had my first omelet and fav. Link sausage.

·         Back to Thai chi class. It was great.

·         In Hong Kong, Cathy will take the group to a famous park where they will join locals in Tai Chi practice.  She does this every year with the Tai Chi class on the Amsterdam world cruise.  The local wait their arrival.  So sad I will not be on the ship, day # 58 for that activity!
