AGAIN unbelievably calm seas. A few swells right after leaving Sydney but since then we have enjoyed really nice seas. We have 19 days to go hopefully it continues. Looking at the weather going forward and it still looks good. Mostly docks rather than tender ports so hopefully we should not have any missed ports.

Trivia team continues to do well. We changed three correct answers yesterday and thought we were out of the running but surprisingly we still won. I just sit there and write the answers don't even need to think.

We arrive in Bali at 1.00 pm. Tonight the big bash for New Years eve. Many of us are eating at a Sette Mari international buffet before heading out. We do not leave the ship until after 8.00 pm and by the time we eat it will be so late. Plus for a picky eater like me just makes sense to go AFTER dinner and just enjoy the festivities. They will have entertainment of course. Onboard they are having a special show and dancing to ring in the new year.
