The internet access is a complete pain - we managed to sign up for it without much trouble yesterday at the internet cafe, but wireless connections via our laptops are simply impossible. So, I'm sitting here typing up the notes for today's blog entry but yesterday's still hasn't been posted. We'll have another go later today.
Anyway, the doctor didn't come last night, so Paul got breakfast via 'Sandy Room Service'. As soon as the medical centre opened up I went down there to ask about this, and they apologised for not visiting and said that since he was still feeling ok he could be set free from detention. So, I don't have to be room service any more :-) I'm glad we booked a mini-suite because by the time he was let loose Paul was pacing the room, and that wouldn't have been a pretty site in a normal cabin - the carpet would have been completely worn down!
Today I went to a talk about shore tours that are coming up over the next few days. We've already booked ours of course, but we did get a lot of info about the practical stuff about where the ship will dock, how far it is into town if you just want to go there yourself, money, and lots of other bits and pieces. Since then basically all we've done is to have lunch, play the pokies in the casino, and have another go at getting the laptop to connect to the internet - a complete failure, so all the blog notes for this trip will have to wait until we get back unless we can find a WiFi connection on shore in Noumea or Vila.
We all managed to get together for dinner tonight for formal night - or more correctly 'cocktail night' as P&O calls it, but Adam only just made it. He had been asleep, was woken up by our attempt to call him so of course arrived late, and he spent most of the meal trying to stay awake - he even knocked back dessert! My meal was pretty good - a really nice chicken broth and wonton soup, then some beef spare-ribs, then a lovely creme brulee for dessert.
