Cruising the Indian Ocean, Day 7

Sea day photos.

The seas seem a bit calmer. The roughness caused by a swell direction change predicted by the captain yesterday did not happen. Good news. What seems weird is the lack of rainbows. We keep sailing through sun, clouds, rain, sun, rain, clouds, sun etc but we have never seen a rainbow in the Indian Ocean yet. The captain informs us the forecast for tomorrow in Mauritius is more of the same mixed bag with heat and humidity. Destination services has warned us to expect bad roads and open air vehicles with guides we won't be able to understand who are untrained. Expectations are low. Still it is a new country for us and land after a solid week of sailing.

We went to the Waffles on the Bridge. True to their word they were serving messy waffles! We'd already had breakfast when our time slot of 9:30 to 10:30 am came around. The bridge was divided in half. The port side was a buffet and photo op crowded with passengers and the starboard side was the working bridge. It was interesting.

We both disliked tonight's Waterside menu but we were able to get a reservation to Silk tonight so problem solved.

We move the clocks back another hour tonight. I don't expect anything of note to occur the rest of the day, so I'll post this now.

Updating because there was a Mexican buffet at Marketplace today. It was the 3rd themed buffet like that. As far as we can recollect, there was no notice in Reflections to let people know. Also while this is the 3rd segment, we don't believe there was 1 themed lunch buffet per segment. Other than the Austrian coinciding with the Grand Viennese Buffet in Crystal Plaza, the Asian and today's Mexican were complete surprises. We overate tacos, tamales, empanadas, burritos and churros.

We'll probably to the Hollywood Theater movie, "Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again" this afternoon. Clay say 4 birds today!
