Day 11 - Friday - 4/7/17 - At Sea to Nagasaki

I do like sea days and this was to be no exception.  Still tired from the walking and climbing of the previous two days plus the loss of an hour of sleep, morning came too early at 8am.  We made the 9am interdenominational service at 9 which was very lightly attended before watching Jeremy give an overview on Nagasaki abd Kagoshima. Dr. Kam then gave another excellent history on modern China from 1911 to the end of the Cultural Revolution.  His next and final talk will be on modern China.  Our Captain fielded a great set of audience generated questions.  It was one of the better Captain's Q&A type sessions that we have heard.  We once again picked up our passports (hopefully for the last time).

All day long we've been cruising at nearly full speed of 22mph across glassy smooth but hazy conditions. Earlier in the day, the fog horn emitted its baneful low tone every 2 minutes.

It was the third and final Gala Dinner with filet mignon and lobster.  Afterwards, Philip, our location host gave a nice talk on the history of information about sushi.  Deion, a fairy tale like stage show was presented by the singers and dancers.  The girls wanted to watch the 10pm show of the movie 'LaLa Land'. I tried watching it, but it was not engaging to watch a second time so I went to bed.

Tomorrow afternoon we arrive in Nagasaki for an afternoon/early evening visit.
