Last evening we saw a cruise ship leaving the harbor from Maurie and Anita's wonderful view living room and we wondered if we could see our come in and leave. My brain must have grabbed on to that 'cause I woke at 6:00am just as the sunlight was breaking the horizon. So we couldn't see the ship, but I decided to watch the sunrise anyway and take a few photos. And the the camera misfunctioned, the lens locked up, and it wouldn't work. So poor Sandra woke up to a muttered grumbling. (We have actually ended up buying a new one in hopes that we can work it out with warrenty stuff once home - Thanks again Maurie for driving us to get it). As we we fortunate to be here on a Sunday, we were able to go to church this morning with M & A. Very nice place, good service, good worship, and a very friendly and alive community. Good times. And then (after camera) back 'home' for final packing and a real nice lunchtime on their patio. Have I mentioned what fine people Maurie and Anita are? And then it was time to head for the ship. And, for the second day
in a row, another even harder departure. We have come to really value this new friendship and leaving is no fun. Fortunetly we have another adventure before us to distract us. There at the pier was this really BIG ship. We passed thru check in very quickly (fastest I have experienced) and headed on in. We found our cabin and were quite surprised by how big and nice it and the balcony is. We really lucked out here since we didn't specifically pick a room and have one with a double size balcony. Very cool. So now our cruise experince begins. Two weeks! This should be interesting. We watched the harbor slip away from our balcony, we think we saw the area where M & A live (Could you see us?) and another beautiful sunset. We have the late, 8:30 dinner seating, and met or table mates, a young couple from Rotorua and three people from Brazil. All very nice people though unfortunely the Brazilian mom (so sweet) doesn't speak English so communication is a bit tough for them. Great dinner (we will really be needing to hit the gym) and then Off to our room.
