What would one do for two days at sea? What would you do? Would you take naps, eat food read books and take more naps? If so, you fit in with my schedule. This was the most worrisome part of the trip.
Before we head to the Fanning Islands, as the boat headed south they took us by where the lava was flowing into the ocean. Apparently, this has been happening since the early eighties.
When we were not watching lava flow into the ocean we read books and talked to complete strangers. Other than that we would eat and people would always ask if we wanted pepper on our food. The big party was on New Years, when we celebrated like crazy bored people who were at sea for two days and then shouted at midnight and then went to bed 10 minutes later.
So, New Years day we arrived at Fanning Island. The tough immigration policy of the island delayed us for about six nano seconds and were on our way to sightsee via little shuttle boats.We were greeted by several different music groups who were apparently forced to perform non-stop the entire day.
(Well, I am not sure about that part but they seem to be performing everytime I came by.)
So after two days at sea, we were itchying to explore something besides the various decks and
the like. We spent a bit of time exploring different parts of the island. But two days at sea wore us out so we spent a good deal of time swimming and then watching other people swim and then thinking about walking around and then later wishing I had taken more pictures.So, we headed back to our ship and then headed to two more days at sea, back towards Hawaii.
