27/3/2016 Easter Sunday - one more day to the Seychelles

Well it's another really hot sunny day on the Indian Ocean and it's the third  and final sea day between Sri Lanka and the Seychelles. Piracy procedures are in place, curtains closed at night and no wandering around the open decks in the dark. To be honest I don't think there's anyone else on the sea.   We've heard the ships horn a few times, so there must be some sea traffic somewhere.

The sea is consistently flat and with very little swell its like walking around on dry land. We can't see any sea life either.  The sound of the ship cutting through the ocean is invigorating, and sunrises and sunsets are absolutely stunningly beautiful.






Considering there are 1800 passengers it's a pretty quiet place to be.  There are families with children of all ages on this one, with night nurseries and children's clubs that go on until midnight for all ages.  There's a dedicated family pool deck with children's pool, everyone seems to move around wherever they want and its all really peaceful.

   

I was bollocked this morning for taking someone's seat in art, but apart from that I've been behaving myself.  I was found guilty of sitting at an empty table, with an invisible reservation.  It appears that the art class elicits such institutionalised behaviour.  That will be me next year!   Anyway, art today was Buddha in meditation under a tree.



The next sea day we are having a portrait lesson, and I am really looking forward to that as I just love studying faces and could probably spend all my time having a go at painting only portraits.

Bye for now, more news from the Seychelles tomorrow
