OK yes I said we would be in Manta today. Wrong! It happens when you get old and don't check your itinerary.
Calm day, still cooler than I thought as we are closing rapidly on the equator.

In Manta, our only stop in Ecuador. Warm, about 35 degrees but with a nice breeze. We are about 100km south of the equator, so will be in the northern hemisphere by tomorrow morning.
Had a morningもっと詳しく
Crossed into the northern hemisphere last night. You could tell the exact moment by the sound of all the sinks swapping from the water going down clockwise instead of counter clockwiseもっと詳しく
Second last stop on the cruise. The city is very high rise, most of which has popped up since the USA handed back the canal zone in 2000.
Went and had a look at the Miraflores Locks at the Pacific endもっと詳しく
Unlike yesterday we saw ships go through the locks on the Panama Canal today. One of them was ours.
Up before Sparrow Fart this morning (5:30am) to make sure I caught the action. Unlike the Suezもっと詳しく
Well the Caribbean decided to be a bit lumpy today. Does not match the holiday brochures.

Day at sea on the way to Fort Lauderdale, end point of the cruise.
Did a fair bit of packing today. Don't want to have a last minute panic.
Other than that it's the usual routine. Find a corner awayもっと詳しく
Last day today. Have done 90% of packing and weighed the cases. Didn't buy many souvenirs, so we are well within weight.
I have run out of books, so I did 4 crosswords so far today. No whales, etc, soもっと詳しく
