It was a lazy day at sea for us. Having the extra hour on the clocks last night has really re-charged our batteries, so to speak. The biggest job of the day was turning in the form for Mozambique, letting the staff know if we needed the visas for that country. Having already gotten these visas ahead of time, we do not need to be charged for them onboard. Long story short, we did not want to be worried about getting these visas before we fly to South Africa.
The next job was purchasing some Euro, which should be accepted in the Seychelles. We think the last time we were in the Seychelles, it was in 2014. And we seem to recall that we used US dollars to buy lunch. Since we will be going to some other countries that accept the Euro, if we don’t spent it here, we can later on in the trip.
Last but not least, we had been credited with refunded port taxes from missing Port Arthur in Tasmania. This was cashable without the 3% fee, so we cashed it. Three jobs done, we set off for the outdoors.
It was still very humid and warm today, but there was a good wind blowing. Clamping down the towels to the lounges was the only way to keep them there. At least we were not baking like yesterday. We lasted until 2pm, then left for lunch.
The Dive In Grill provided one cheeseburger, and a hot dog. And both good. Also a good time to catch a movie.
Prime rib was on the dinner menu, and we both ordered it. Once again, the meat was excellent, and the best choice from what we saw. We were done by 9:15pm, and most all of us were glad to call it an early evening. Tomorrow will be a long hot day in the Seychelles for sure.
