We are just two days away from Rio. Destination Lecturer Ken Rees gave an excellent talk on Brazil this morning. He has a very dry British wit, and grabbed our attention right away when he said Rio is the city with the largest statue and the smallest bikinis! I’ve been to Rio 4 or 5 times, but Ken added some new “must sees” to my wish list, including The Royal Library and the Monastery of St. Benedict where the chapel interior is almost completely covered in gold and gold leaf.For this segment of the cruise, lectures have been held in the Hollywood Theatre on deck 6. The theatre sees a steady stream of audiences for the multiple lectures and movies offered daily.
During a few minutes of free time I scanned the original art pieces on display for sale in the Crystal Cove on deck 5. Piano music from the bar was as varied as the types of art on display - something for everyone.
Both yesterday and today I spent time in the training room at the top of the ship on deck 13 with my physical trainer, Ian, followed by a massage.
Tonight was another sensational show by the Crystal Ensemble of Singers and Dancers. “Curtain Call” featured songs and dance numbers from recent Broadway hits – Chicago, Evita, Les Miserables, Man of La Mancha, Cats, and Mamma Mia. Every member of this group gives 100% for every performance. I couldn’t begin to count their costume and scenery changes. Top notch all the way.
Tomorrow: at sea.
