Day 9 - Sea Day

Today was a sea day.  We started with breakfast in our suite.  At 10:00 am we attended a lecture by Michael Buerk entitled " Darwin and Fitzroy - How Two Young Men and One Voyage (in these waters) Changed the World Forever".  At 11:00 am we attended a lecture by Jaime Castillo entitled "Using Drones to Research and Protect Cultural Patrimony in Peru".

We had lunch in The Restaurant today and Karolina (the head Wine Sommelier) gave us a red wine tasting of 5 wines available if we did not like the choice for the meal.  We picked out a few favourites.

This afternoon we attended a destination lecture by Jon Fleming on Salaverry, Peru - our port for tomorrow.

We had dinner in The Restaurant tonight and enjoyed a bottle of Sponsa Veronese from Italy - one of the wines we tasted at lunch today.

We have a World Map attached to the wall of our suite and we are tracking our travels with a small red magnet.  The red magnet is currently off the coast of Peru.  A picture appears below.




















Tomorrow we are in Salaverry, Peru.....
