A gorgeous day dawns today – sunshine and warm when we sit on the balcony out of the wind.  The blanket/Towel door cover worked well – we were still up before 6am, but it wasn’t because of the light.  Just because that is when we get up.

Coffee chat with Jose, our cruise director (not “our” Jose from Azamara, sadly), who tells us his history and how he became the first ever Filipino CD.  And how he is bringing things from his NCL experience onboard – mostly the game shows that everyone seems to love.  Then it is down time – we have seen City on the Sea and The Origin Story a million times.  Coffee, blog, lunch.

Ian at 1pm with his Yokohama port talk and then again at 2 with Bridges over Time.  Both classic Ian and filled with wonderful information.

Then more blog, more normal gym, drinks, dinner and the last Sunny Chen illusionist show.  And the end to Leg One of our journey has ended.  Tomorrow a whole new crop of passengers and a whole new itinerary.
