| On the Pier |
Because Jesse had a miserable cold, which started
the previous day, and Sally hadn’t slept well, we were among the last
passengers in the Terrace Café for both breakfast and lunch. Neither of us felt much like swimming. However, we again took advantage of the
complimentary shuttle. Although Jesse took along Sally’s portable seat
this time, just in case we needed to stand and wait for the shuttle, there was
no waiting this time. Also, very few
passengers were on this trip. It was a
nice ride, scenery-wise. During our
ride, we talked with Tonya, from San Francisco.
She had originally booked a round-the-world cruise with her father, who
had recently passed away, and was now taking the cruise alone. Since her father had graduated from Palmer
Chiropractic College in Davenport, she was familiar with the Quad Cities. Although the shuttle took us to a very nice, rather
affluent section of Lima, we opted not to get off the bus and were back on the
ship by 4:30 PM.
When we went to dinner, we found that it was “India
Food Night.” Having eaten quite a number
of Indian dishes previously, we were somewhat familiar with many of the dishes
and enjoyed them. For the first time on
this cruise, there was pre-show dancing in the Insignia Lounge (which had been
a daily occurrence on previous Oceania cruises). We danced to every song and had plenty of
company on the dance floor. Surprisingly,
the orchestra did not jazz-up the music this time, possibly because of the
larger number of dancers.
