Sailing the Yellow Sea

We had a relaxing day at sea today. First up was a talk on Tianjin and Beijing. The five yearly meeting of the communist party will be taking place while we are in Beijing and we may not be able to access Tiananmen Square. We will have to wait and see. Next we went to the new American Test Kitchen which has replaced the Culinary Arts Centre. We enjoyed the presentation on chocolate very much. Chewy chocolate brownies and Chocolate pots de creme were featured. No samples unfortunately. After lunch (twoTiger beers for the price of one and a submarine sighting we went to another cooking presentation on flavours of the Mediterranean. Seven laps around the promenade deck and it was time to get ready for dinner. It was gala night, so we headed up to the Ocean Bar to listen to the trio and a pre-dinner drink. Dinner was excellent.
