It's Easter Sunday morning and the fog continued unabated from yesterday. It's so thick that we couldn't see the water from deck 8 or 9. And the fog horn blasts its lonely tone every two minutes. Even the Lido chairs vibrate from its deep bass tone.
I led the 9am non-denominational Easter Sunrise Service and it went well. We had 47 in attendence in the King's Room. Master Kam presented part 1 of his talk on Buddhism. At noon the Captain announced that there was likely a norovirus on board (brought on by a Shanghai embarking passenger) and that there would be immediate changes in food and beverage procedures whereby guests could not serve themselves and we were encouraged to wash our hands well and often, not use handrails or public restrooms. Additionally a letter describing the situation and protection procedures was delivered to our stateroom.
The 2pm game show on the Main Stage was Battle of the Sexes which pitted 3 men vs. 3 women. Afterwards Angela and I read our books in the Explorer's Lounge until dinner. Following dinner we listened to the Ocean Quartet in the Ocean Bar. This quartet replaced a trio in Shanghai. They were easy to listen to.
The Main Stage entertainment was an excellent Hong Kong born harmonica player, Cy Leo.
After the show we enjoyed some great conversation with Tom, a passenger we've sailed with before, reminiscing about music; and the three of us also enjoyed a brief chat with the Captain.
Tomorrow we're on tour with another couple to Beijing & the Great Wall and an overnight stay in a hotel there. Stay tuned for details.
