Day 11 – Sail the Pacific Ocean

Tim and I slept very late this morning and missed breakfast in the World Café. So, instead, we enjoyed waffles at Mamsen’s, Viking’s Norwegian deli.

I Should Have Remembered to Take the Photo Before Taking a Bite!

I was determined to bring the blog up to date, so that’s how I spent much of my day. I enjoy writing blog posts, at least most of the time, but I try to fit writing in among the activities that interest me. I’m not a crafter, card or game player, or trivia aficionado, so I’m not missing out on those pursuits. I do love the lectures, and I also enjoy reading, chatting with friends, and just relaxing, so that’s what I tend to do on sea days.

Sea days are also my time to do what I want to do, sleep late, catch up on chores or the blog, and decompress. As one passenger said to me, “Sea days are therapeutic.”

Tim and I did attend another excellent lecture this evening. Guest Lecturer Andrew Roberts continued his talks on the Panama Canal, this time on “Water or the Lack of It!”. He explained why world trade faltered last winter when a drought hit Panama and what is being done to avoid a repetition. He also revealed that Viking Sky’s toll for transiting the canal was $189,344. Wow!
