Day 14: Next Port: Marquesas Islands
Tomorrow, after 8 straight sea days: our visit will be Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas Islands, one of 5 island groups in French Polynesia. My favorite sea day activities have been morning Qi Jong classes; ballroom dance lessons; winning at trivia, lectures on ports of call, pirates, seafarers' life, European explorers etc; workshops on Polynesian crafts and hula dancing, nightly variety shows; watching pool side contests, ballroom dancing to live bands; walking the covered promenade deck with the sea on both sides 3.5 laps =a mile); photo editing Windows 10 classes, chocolate desserts; meeting interesting people; watching sunsets at sea. I even attended a meeting about the Travelers' Century Club.
