FEB. 2nd -- LAUTOKA, FIJI

Well, I stumbled out of bed at 6:00 AM for the sunrise.
There was a rainbow going from the water into a cloud.  I wish I could post the picture but I didn't get it.  My eyes weren't quite open yet.  Anyway, it was awesome.

We have coffee on our balcony and watch as we approached the Fiji Islands, at approx. 9:30 AM, but didn't get to Lautoka until about noon.

Some of the Fiji Islands

First sighting of our port

We plan to get off the boat and walk around but change our minds as it is very hot.  I know, it's an "Oh Brother" moment but can't do it.  I get my nails done and go to the back of the boat and read.  It's really quiet there and I get a lovely breeze off the water.


My new "quiet" spot

We go to the Galileo Lounge for a pre-dinner drink and meet Clive Carrington.  He is the piano player who plays, at different times, in all of the lounges.  He's a Brit and has been with the Regent Line for many years.  He is on the Navigator until June 9th.  Apparently, when we get of the boat on May 15th, the Navigator has a "Veteran's Cruise".  All veterans and they are doing a trans-Atlantic crossing and end up in France.  They then re-visit the sites of battles in France.  There is probably more to it than that but that's what I remember.  Anyway, I thought it was kind of a cool thing for Regent to do.

Dinner at Compass Rose.
Home.
Quiet day.
