2010, a sunday

slept in, got lozenges for a sore throat, then hit morning trivia. the ship was decked out for valentine’s day, including a particulary gaudy atrium display that was so bad it went back around to good. i had the special indian buffet for lunch. it was fiordland national park cruising day, and in the afternoon when we entered milford sound, the rain finally let up and we got some good views - of, of course, the one fjord we’d already seen, although the rain meant waterfalls were everywhere, whereas we had only seen a few on our previous cruise. mom and dad played some ping pong. we had another great dinner at pacific moon, and aunt linnea and dad threw down and decided a ping pong grudge match was in order. mom gave everyone chocolate for valentine’s day, and when she offered our waiter one, he said ‘only if it’s from the heart’ so she stuck it in her shirt and pulled it out and gave it to him! hilarious, and he was blushing a bit :)
