March 8, 2013  Sea Day

Good Morning Amsterdam featured two of the security officers who look after us when we are in port, as well as when we are out at sea. Our travel guide, Barbara, lectured on things to do and see in Nha Trang, Vietnam.

Adrian Cooper lectured on Myths and Mountains of South East Asia. The mountains of South East Asia have inspired incredible legends of heroes and wisdom since the dawn of civilization in this part of the world. Adrian shared with us some of the art, sculpture and literature from this part of he world which all includes mountains including the mythical mountain of Meru.

Eight of us had lunch in the Pinnacle Grill, the upscale restaurant that charges an additional fee for lunch. The atmosphere is a change of pace but the food was not particularly better than we would find in the dining room or Lido buffet.

Aileen Bridgewater lectured on her adventures in the Philippines including a faith healer with mystical powers and the personal pilot of Imelda Marcos.

Entertainment this evening was an actor/singer from London’s West End by the name of Mark Adams.
