The captain lied about smooth sailing. Or maybe he didn't say smooth sailing, maybe he just said good weather. In any case, I knew immediately when we turned to the west and started heading for Sydney because the ship started a fairly slow but noticeable rolling motion. In the end I had to take another Travacalm so I could get to sleep. Generally when the ship has a slow and steady roll on I find it really easy and enjoyable to sleep, but this was a slow, deep, inconsistent and not really gentle roll - enough to make the TV move on it's stand and to cause you to lose your balance when walking if you're not careful. Still going today too.
I'm not really complaining though - I plan to have two quiet days to finish the cruise and so far I'm succeeding!
Final report for the day - almost a complete success when it comes to relaxation. We had a very late breakfast, then we didn't even wait for an afternoon nap, in fact we napped all through lunchtime. I went to the Horizon Court at around 3pm for a snack, but Paul didn't even bother with that. Then we watched some TV - a movie called Kingsman which wasn't too bad. Then off to dinner - formal night tonight, and Lobster for main course (for me anyway) - yum. Paul had Beef Wellington which was apparently also really good.
We had a group photo taken with our table mates; they're such nice people and we have had an excellent time with them. Since I'll certainly forget their names if I don't write them down - they were Marilyn and Eric from Sydney and Bob and John from Wangaratta.
After dinner we lost a little money in the casino and off to bed.
