Tuesday December 29, 2015 – Entering The Amazon River


We again woke up to an announcement by the Captain.  He had to take the stabilizers off of Mariner as the Amazon is very shallow.  It was rocky for a while but then it got smoother.  As we got closer to the mouth of the Amazon, the water got muddier and muddier.  This is going to be an amazing river.

We had morning coffee and went to the Enrichment Lecture by the Marine Biologist.  He talked about fish and the reefs.  Interesting.

We roamed around the ship for a while and sat outside near the pool but it was SO HOT and STICKY.  So we went in to La Veranda for lunch where it was cool.  Tim had his lunch from the Asian buffet but I stuck with the standard fare.

We returned to the cabin and read and relaxed until mid-afternoon when we went to the NASA talk.  He talked about the International Space Station and it was fascinating.

Tim went to the gym to work out and I caught up the blog.

At 6 we went to Observation for drinks and then to dinner about 7:15. We both had the Brazilian white fish for main course and it was delicious.

We went to the Cirque Rock and Roll Show by the Jean Anne Ryan cast and it was great.  Our favorite, Gemma, did a great job.   It was a very physical show with lots of dancing and gymnastics.  Roman and Olga, the specialty team, were great.
After the show we went to the cabin and went to bed.  I’m all congested and losing my voice – oh boy, here we go again.  I took some more meds and went to bed.
