We are transitting through the Gulf of Thailand, heading towards Koh Samui. Formerly the Gulf of Siam it is a shallow inlet in the western part of the South China and Eastern Archipelagic seas, a marginal body of water in the western Pacific Ocean. The gulf is surrounded by Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.
Well, the show last night confirmed that the entertainment has generally been woeful on this cruise. Once again the comedian was a tired old has-been from Canada and his 'jokes' were sleep inducing and boring. The cruise director is probably the worst we've ever had on a ship and I can only assume that he makes the final decision with the choice of entertainers. Never mind, there are plenty of other ways we get a decent laugh - only have to sit still for a half hour and watch the people. Enough said. And they are no doubt watching us too!!!!!
Today has been iffy weather-wise - rain and sunshine. But the sea is like a millpond - hope we might get a bit of rock & roll between Perth & Melbourne! The talk this morning was on Koh Samui where we will be tomorrow. We don't have any plans yet, will decide in the morning. The beaches look lovely so we may take a cab to a resort area.
Mahjong again and we have a new player, Dale from Bendigo. It was bliss without the voice from WA and her puppet husband. Am sure they were trying to test me by their strange habits of calling the tiles by the incorrect names and throwing the dice as if they were playing Craps in the casino but as in games such as bridge, golf, tennis, etc, so too does mahjong has it's own etiquette.
It was a formal night again and so we dressed accordingly - dined with a Scottsh couple and it was almost impossible to understand her with her skittish, high pitched
voice. Nice people though but rather difficult with background noise and being deaf!!
Tonight's show in the theatre was very good, probably the best yet. Beautiful costumes and excellent dancing routines by the Princess singers and dancers - it was Disco-Blame it on the Boogie'.
