This morning there was an earthquake in Chili, point 8.8 on the Richter scale. Then there was a tsunami warning towards Polynisia, but luckily we are over 4000 km of water, so did not notice anything.
We have also been informed that no damage was done to the islands, that would have been devestating, after the cyclone they had just a couple of weeks ago, which caused a lot of damage.

So everybody on the ship is fine, nothing happened.

Yesterday I started with Tai Chi, Rosemary from Germany is giving the classes, they are well attended.
Followed in the afternoon with Pilates, given by Gail. This morning I went back for another Tai Chi lesson, but I found out that Pilates is not good for me.
Just to give you some info on every days activities:
at 07.30 gymnastics
at 10.00 walk a mile
at 10.30 Tai Chi
at 13.00 Pilates
at 13.30 Yoga
at 16.30 cocktail hour
at 18.00 Salve Regina, followed by a bagpipe concert from Claus.
You'll see, they keep us quit busy during the day.

Since we are nearing the equator, we should start making preparations for the Neptune ceremony.
Will keep you informed.
This morning we had to put the clock forward by 30 minutes, many people were late for breakfast.

I just noticed that no photo's were included in my blog. I have to ask Sue for some tips.

Ross, Roki and I won the quizz, we called ourselves the Supremes. But then Sue joined us for the next competition, so we renamed ourselves into Sue and the Premes. I suggested to change the last part in Prunes, but the girls would not agree. Chicken.

So today we have to put together some questions plus answer and are due to deliver these tomorrow afternoon.

In the meantime, take care everybody. Write to you as long there will be an internet connection.
