This is the day that cheated us out of Saturday, November 13th - we crossed the International Dateline and that day disappeared (we recovered a day when we flew home from New Zealand). This is the day I won the Blackjack tournament - I hung onto my winnings by not playing any further.
On Sundays, there were church services and every day of the week there were games, lectures, shows, classes, etc. etc. On this particular day there was a cooking demonstration - more specifically, fruit carving. These adorned the Afternoon Tea table in La Palette - very well done, aren't they?
We also had a fashion show put on by La Boutique - the ship's jewelry, clothing, travel, postcard shop. The models were Les Gauguines - the beautiful Tahitian girls who entertained us, taught us various Tahitian crafts, etc. and just made us feel good. We had an artist on board who also held classes, a renowned astronomer and an anthropology professor - all extremely educational, entertaining and interesting.
OK - don't laugh. One of our classes, by Les Gauguines, was Pareo tying. They wore pareos almost every day - they can be skirts, blouses, cover-ups, dresses - almost anything you want. We'd seen them being hand-painted on one of the islands. I went to the classes, then bought one at La Boutique. It was quite hot and humid out on the decks when we weren't cruising and whatever I wore didn't seem to be cool enough - this, however, was!
