FEB. 8th -- EN ROUTE TO BRISBANE, DAY 2

We are still cruising the Coral Sea en route to Brisbane, Australia.

We have slept in this morning and missed the sunrise.  Maybe tomorrow.
There is only a slight breeze off the water, so we decide to have coffee on our balcony this morning.

It's a lazy day and we wander down to the pool area around 11:00 AM.  Lunch isn't until noon so we sit at the bar and decide to have a drink.  Why not...we're on holiday.  The bartender has just mixed up a concoction and offers me one.  It is a Watermelon & Mint Daiquiri... absolutely yummy...you can't taste the rum at all.  I'm not sure it that's a good thing or not.
We have a light lunch and a quiet afternoon.

We go to the Stars Lounge for pre-dinner drink and bump into Janet & Frank from Bayfield, Ontario (he was the John Deere dealer there) and discovered they are getting off in Sydney.  We are going to try to find a date to have dinner with them before they leave.

At dinner in the Compass Rose, Audrey & Carol from Calgary, B.C. sit right beside us.  There is a lot of laughter during dinner.


We loved it...Yea, Yea, Yea
At 9:30 there is a Beatles Review in the Galileo Lounge and Barry & I head up around 9:15 PM to get a table.  Audrey & Carol, changed their minds and came to see the show so, they joined us.  Everyone is there...all the tables are full, standing room only, and the dance floor is packed.  Barry & I danced a lot and stayed until 11:00 PM when it ended.
WOW!!
Bed -- Collapse!!
