Day 38 Missing Planes and Tap Dancing

Today we woke up to…..sea, sea and more sea!  We have 6 days at sea now, next stop is Mauritius next Thursday.  On a ship, sea days mean lots more activities to keep everyone entertained.  I thought I would give Zumba a go today, and discovered it’s really not for me!  It’s a kind of Latin dance exercise class and if ever I was in doubt that I can’t dance, this confirmed the fact I’m not coordinated and have two left feet. I’ll give that class a wide berth tomorrow.

Next up…..craft class which was much more up my street.  A lovely Irish lady and her retired headmaster husband (who’s now been demoted to his wife’s classroom assistant 😅) took the class and helped everyone make a spectacle case.  

After that, Andy and I went to a brilliant talk which was given by Captain Chris Rigby.  Captain Chris went into great depth about what could have happened to the missing Malaysian flight M370 that disappeared in 2014 with 239 people onboard. Several myths were dispelled and Captain Chris put forward his thoughts on what might have happened. 

After dinner, we went to the theatre and watched a show by The Tap Step Brothers who were a tap dancing duo!  They were very entertaining and Andy’s even contemplating going to the tap dance taster session tomorrow morning!

The day finished with a spot of people watching by the dance floor.  There have been many doppelgängers spotted on the ship, so much so, we’ve started a list!  People of note so far are:

David Attenborough

Mr Myagi

Ozzie Osborne

Martina Navratilova

Vera (aka Brenda Blethin)

Patsy and Eddy (Ab Fab)

Bill Oddie 

To be continued

Top score of 10 for busting some legendary moves on the dance floor is awarded to Mr Myagi.

The night was completed with a quick visit to the Commodore Club on the top deck for a late night game of crib and a Margarita. (I won which reduces the deficit to a mere 5 games now!)
