Missing out

I don’t have anything to blog about because I spent most of yesterday in bed.

Not because I was sick, I just didn’t fancy getting up … except to eat.

I fully intended to go on a jeep tour of a remote island, but it was cancelled due to rough seas.

I went to a lecture on Polynesian navigation methods, which I am genuinely fascinated by. But there were many slides, the room was warm and the ship was gently swaying and I had trouble staying awake.

A new port was chosen for us to explore, which had never been visited by a cruise ship before.

I was intrigued.

But after having truffle pasta (tossed inside a giant wheel of Parmesan) for lunch on the back deck, I decided a nap was in order.

I drifted off for a while, woke and decided I wanted to stay there indefinitely.

I literally never get the chance to spend an afternoon lazing in bed.

DD headed off to explore the local village and everyone came back saying it was the best excursion ever.

I wasn’t jealous because I loved my do-nothing afternoon.

I rejoined our cruise friends for pink wine on the deck at sunset, which segued into dinner in the gentle breeze.

Gorgeous spot.

Jeep tours recommence this morning.

We’ve arrived at another village on the island of Hiva Oa, Puama’u. Today’s balcony view …
