Two more sea days and it's over. The reality is sinking In especially now that we have received our disembarkation paperwork. The day started with a coffee chat with Ace McDermott, the mentalist. He was followed by Ron Orenstein's excellent presentation on large extinct prehistoric Australian mammals. Lance gave a long and interesting presentation on Sydney. Because we've visited Sydney so many times, nothing was new in that presentation, but it generated fond memories.
For lunch our new friends this cruise, Roger and Caroline joined us for our 51st wedding anniversary in our the Pinnacle Grill. After lunch Terry Greenberg presented 5,000 years of Chinese history in 45 minutes. John Shively then presented part one of his battle for control of Papua New Guinea in WWII. We wrapped up the afternoon participating in the interdenominational Bible study.
To celebrate further our 51st wedding anniversary, we once again had dinner in the Pinnacle. One year earlier, off the coast of Peru on the Maasdam we celebrated our 50th and my wife wore her wedding dress to dinner.
We went to both shows of The Other Guys who did boy bands from the 60's to the present. They were great! I still liked their West End/Broadway show the best. In between the shows, John Shively presented part 2 of his Papua New Guinea war talk. I really liked his presentations for his attempts at accuracy and clarity in presenting the battle situations.
We have a final sea day tomorrow before reaching Sydney. Stay tuned for more.
