Africa here we come!!
Today is a sea day. Diana slept in until 8:30 which is highly unusual.
Because of the late start we had a later than normal start for breakfast.
At 10:00 am they had us all gather and announced our new itinerary. We already had speculated that we would lose Egypt and Jordan since we are unable to traverse the Red Sea or Suez Canal. We will also lose most of Europe. Our 3rd try for Istanbul is a bust.
We are excited about most of the changes and look forward to seeing parts of Africa. Viking is providing a safari as one of our included excursions.
Attached is the map with the changes.
For the rest of the day there were many conversations of who is staying on and who is leaving.
Some will chose to leave the cruise in Singapore or Sri Lanka.
It was extremely hot and humid so a few hours in the infinity pool was called for.
A fun day overall. We had dinner just the two of us in the restaurant. A beautiful sunset serenaded us during dinner to end the day. The moon was pretty great as well.
