As we sail north towards the equator it is beginning to be hotter and more humid every day. The big surprise was hot cool South African countries were at this time of year. I skipped my exercise classes because I didn't sleep well - too busy worrying how we are going to get all the stuff we've bought off the ship. Bulky times like cases of wine which we will either consume before we leave or pay duty on, are my worst concern, and I am not having buyers remorse about the quantities we bought. The thing is when you are faced with $7 - $15 prices on superior wines it is too tempting, and especially after sampling 7 or 8 of them before lunch!!
We were all wondering about the entertainment, which was billed as "Marrionettes" with a superb review by the Las Angeles Times. This act turned out to be one of the most creative, unique and entertaining acts we have seen. This man, whose name escapes me, is a genius and he takes 400 hours to hand craft the body and clothes of his dolls, and they do unbelievably nuanced performances to music that had the entire theatre on its feet. There you go again - if you make assumptions before you see for yourself, you can miss out on things that are so worthwhile.
