... night a violinist played everything from country to classical, backed up by the orchestra. There has been quite the variety, from ballroom dancing, to an Australian vocalist, and tonight country. No x-rated comedians either, even at the midnight shows. I went to a backstage tour today to see how a show is produced. The RCL headquarters in is Ft Lauderdale, and the shows are ...

... lost track of what day or date it is. This is the most relaxing thing we’ve ever done. I’ll use this blog to describe some of our shipboard life. We have the cutest cabin attendant, Gene, who sings up and down the corridor as he works. Every night another cute towel animal appears while we’re at dinner. We usually get up, walk a mile on the track top deck, then head for breakfast ...

... reading this blog the opportunity to take my work from me for free. It is so easy to screen capture or download almost any image from the WEB, so a slide show allows me to share my work in a way that is interesting yet produces small quality screen captures. Forgive me for this, I hope that you will choose to still enjoy the slide show photo presentation format.<br>

... the pool.<br><br>It was really nice out. Not TOO hot, nice breeze, beautiful day to stay on the ship and enjoy the outside decks. I lounged in the water for about 2 hours. Just when the prunes on my fingers started to annoy I came in to get ready for dinner. <br><br>I love it here in the South Pacific, I can see why movies and musicals have been made about it!<br><br><br>

Sandy beaches, grass huts on stilts overlooking green and blue tropical waters...what's not to love here in French Polynesia.<br><br>I have uploaded a video slide show of the sights of the day.

... fressen, koennen vor allem fuer Surfer gefaehrlich sein, da sie von unten der Lieblingsnahrung der Haie aehnlich sehen. Sie sind aber hier zum Glueck sehr selten. Einen gesunden Respekt haben wir aber trotzdem vor allen Haien und generell allen Fischen mit scharfen Zaehnen (Barrakudas, Drueckerfische etc), denn sie koennen sich immer mal in Bedraengnis fuehlen und sich verteidigen wollen.<br><br>Die naechste Station liegt um die Ecke an einem flachen Stueck der Lagune ...

... but is a lot longer and thinner with a bit attached to the left side. One would assume you might topple over but it actually keeps everything running smoothly. <br><br>On our first night here we had a nightcap at the bar after a sumptious dinner in the lovely gourmet restaurant. As we were finishing our local Hinano beers, we were approached by an American guy who asked if we would join him for another beer. We then met a local American who had ...

... is on the cheaper end as far as hotels go on Bora Bora. We spent the remainder of our first day on the beach and then had a great dinner at La Bounty, an Italian seafood restaurant where we ended up eating the next four nights- happily avoiding the hotel buffet dinner. We pretty much spent the remaining few days of our trip kayaking, snorkeling, swimming and relaxing ...

... the atoll while we calmly bobbed up and down in the relative calm of the lagoon. One of the two guides jumped into the water with a bucket full of fish. We jumped in along with him and within minutes, we were surrounded by a school of black-tipped reef sharks, some up to two meters long. They swam around us for a bit, checking us out, then ventured closer. I was quite surprised when one of them swam up to within two meters of me, then made a quick turn - I ...

... Sharks came up it between our groups and then turned towards us, swinging past us at the last moment. If I had reached out I could have touched the leader and I got a close up of his jaws and the inwardly curved teeth.

I had wanted to see sharks since I started diving and it was an exciting experience to be so close to these fantastic creatures. There may be ...
