Pacific Jewel - Saturday 27 August, Sea Day 1

Bircher Muesli for brekky
Part of the Pantry, near the Grill


I started my day with a bircher muesli and orange juice trying to help ward off the oncoming cold, after popping a few pills too. Today is a sea day heading for Brisbane, which is our first stop, tomorrow. No plans for today as is usually the case on a cruise. Depending on what's on in the Pacific Daily a deck chair and a cardy sounds good. It's still a bit chilly but hopefully the further north we go the warmer it will get.

In the atrium was Morning Wake Up Trivia with Sandy the cruise director and Sarah the deputy cruise director. We gave it a go but made it even more difficult for ourselves when we realised we had to drop each answer over the edge down to deck 5 (we were on deck 6). Twice my answer landed on the ledge! Not surprisingly we didn't win. I'll blame the ledge for that!

Deck 6 looking down to the Atrium deck 5 - can you see my answers stuck on the ledge??

Another bowl of soup, this time for lunch, delicious tomato soup with a bread roll of course!

The afternoon was spent reading and watching the world go by and breathing in the sea air. We had pre dinner drinks at the Orient and ended up taking part in a Sports Trivia which, would you believe, we WON! Bottle openers for us :-)

Dinner was at the Pantry. Mexican tonight - so good!

Yet another early night for us with one of us having 'man flu' and thought he was dying. Brisbane tomorrow.
