Today dawned a much nicer day...sunny and hot, some clouds, cool breeze...nice! So we hit the pool. We played some Bingo. We had lunch on an outside terrace. We took a nap. We sailed all day and arrived in Tonga about 5pm. As we pulled into the harbor, we could see two other cruise ships - probably also detoured by the storm - a Regent and a Holland America. There was a tiny little pilot boat directing traffic; it looked like the three big ships' playtoy. But it puttered around the harbor trying to keep up, and no one had any near misses.
We pretty much spent today doing nothing but had a dinner reservation at the Italian restaurant on the ship. So very very good...I almost felt like I was in Rome. I even capped off the dinner with some limoncello, and Joe had grappa.
Tomorrow (which will magically be Sunday) we have an excursion onto one of the small outer islands of Tonga. But don't worry about us...we'll get to see the Superbowl...we'll just see it on Monday because we'll be a day behind (and probably a dollar short).
Sorry for the short post, but really...nothing, NOTHING is going on. I promise to have some good pictures from our island adventure tomorrow!
Ciao.
