Australia Oct. 28, 2012

Today was another day at sea.  We spent the day as usual in computer classes and the highlight of the day was formal night with lobster.  We have been meeting new people at all the meals which makes for an interesting cruise.  The performer this evening was Alwyn Wright who is a violinist of some repute.  She has apparently accompanied several great singers and performed in several movies in a musical capacity.  Her performance was outstanding.  I finally had enough of the coughing today and went to the infirmary to buy an expectorant.  Today we planned the shore excursions for the next several days.  We will be going to a hobbit set, sailing on an America’s Cup Yacht, paddling a Maori canoe and several walking tours.  Tomorrow we will be in Dunedin near Port Charles.  It is said to be like Edinburrough.  We were randomly selected to be inspected by the customs and immigration so that occurs before we leave ship tomorrow.
