It took two sailing days to get from Rarotonga to Tonga but we had the option of keeping busy or just lazing around - I kept busy.
Here we are at lunch (I'm in dark green) with new friend Delores (left). She was traveling alone but the staff knew her from prior voyages. Her table was next to ours at dinner and although we coaxed, she chose to sit alone (as alone as one can be, next to the four of us!).
Rob, Kim and I sat-in on an art class with resident artist Guy Buffet. We drew whatever our hands led us to - then colored with watercolor pencils - followed up with paint brushes dipped in water - they converted the pencil colors to watercolors. It was very effective. This is my 'complicated mind' ...
This is our Captain Rajko Zupan - Born in Croatia .... he gave an informal talk in La Palette and answered questions. This photo doesn't do him justice - he's really quite a nice looking man. He's been sailing this ship around the islands for six years.
This afternoon we had a Country Fair and Ice Cream Social on the pool deck. Various sections of the staff put on games and the passengers voted for the most original and most fun. This is Rob with string around his waist, holding a pencil, which he had to get in the three bottles standing there - it made for some strange positions.
This one was put on by the kitchen staff - they gave us whipped cream on plates to throw at their faces - I had a go but I 'throw like a girl' and just hit above one of them but it was fun and I voted for it.
This one (put on by Les Gauguines) won for most originality - you had an eggplant tied around your waist and you had to swing it (without hands) and knock an orange to the end of the mat - it was hilarious to watch.
Here I am with Kim and Paula going to or coming from lunch.
