What we did
These two days we figured we would highlight as the next few days we'll have lots of pictures of the amazing places we'll be visiting.

Sea days we usually spend two to three hours in the morning playing Mahjong. If not, we are going to lectures. We have some wonderful presenters . Dr. Bryan Babcock has been giving us history and cultural lessons on Indonesia which we find very helpful. Richard Lovelock continues to provide entertaining lectures on how to take better photos with your smart phone as well as amazing photos of wildlife we've encountered in our journey. Sea days Amy tries to get in a work out in the gym and Tom has been doing laps on deck to get in some exercise. We also play cribbage with friends at lunch, Amy attends choir practices and has been helping with the knitting effort (see photos below). Amy so far has knitted two infant hats (they have over 60) and now we're making blankets by knitting 6"x 6" squares that are then crocheted together. We celebrated Chinese New Year up in the World Cafe, it's the year of the Horse. They continue to have amazing specially themed offerings in the World Cafe, something that is unique and available only on the world Cruise. Also in a photo below is Made one of our favorite bar waiters in the Explorer's lounge where we occasionally enjoy a cocktail and watch the world go by as we travel to our next port. We also finally went into the infinity pool on Deck 7. It's amazing how few people swim on this Cruise and we practically had the pool to ourselves. To sum up, there is so much to do on Sea Days, we are never bored.
