The Bali party is over.
Up on the Lido Deck, a Crossing-the-Equator party is in progress. I don't think King Neptune is happy about it. There is a retractable roof over the pool area, which is a good thing because the skies are dark, thunder is booming, and rain is pouring down.
Indoors, people are munching on snacks, chatting, and reading. Three people are passing their time in the Casino. A few are browsing in the shops.
My current book is Road Fever by Tim Cahill, a true story about two guys who try to drive from the tip of South America to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. I'm reading in the balcony of the big auditorium called The Queen's Lounge. That puts me in the right place for the next attraction, a lecture by Hong Kong resident Aileen Bridgewater. She had a radio talk show in Hong Kong for twenty years. She has interviewed all sorts of people, from Bob Hope to the Dalai Lama, and she is a masterful storyteller.
This morning I spent some time browsing on Internet. Still can't get into my AOL account, but I was able to see how my blog looks online. Point of interest---- for another slant on this cruise, check this site:

This should take you to our captain's very well written blog, and you will also find some blog entries submitted by our fellow cruisers.
One thing that I learned by comparing my blog photos with the work of the other bloggers: Size Matters. Bigger pictures are much better, even though they take more time to load. So,if I can figure out how to alter the picture size, you will be seeing fewer but larger photos.
