Relaxing sea day bound for Penang,Malaysia

---

We have a few sea days ahead of us so plenty of relaxation time.

Nothing much to do today but just lay in the sun. There was a lovely breeze so the sun did not feel so hot. It is really strange, but with a ship with 4500 passengers on board, only about a third of the sun beds are in use. Most people seem to be sticking to the indoor solarium with its air conditioning.

Of the people that are braving the outside temperature of about 35 degrees, many of them are looking very pink due to not using sunscreen. Not a good idea in this heat. Asian people do not seemingly lay in the sun. The ship's shop does not sell sun cream for those silly enough not to have brought enough along. They only sell after sun ?.

Some very weird things coming to light with Royal Caribbean. Already, we know, we will not be sailing with them again.

Every time we sit in the sun we seem to end up in the same place near to the North Star aerial ride. It is interesting people watching there.
