Day Fourteen of Adventures in Paradise!

Unfortunately our tour of the Tahitian Islands are over. We are now at sea for four days until we reach Auckland, New Zealand. We already set the clocks back today by one hour. We are now 4 hours behind Pacific Standard Time. For today's day at sea, mom and I did lots of activities. After breakfast in the Windjammer Buffet, we saw a pasta demonstration on how to make shrimp ravioli from scratch. This, of course was followed by tasty sample of the ravioli. Another activity was the Captain's Corner, where the captain of the Radiance spoke for an hour about the ship and areas like the bridge, engine room, boiler room, etc. Mom and I also played Bingo, and we finally won a game with a payout of $142.91! We're going to use this money as part of our tip money to our room steward. We had dinner in the dining room and I got to try for the first time Shark and Crocodile! Crocodile tastes almost exactly like chicken and shark tastes like perch. Our entertainment for the night was a funny comedian named Jason Chase. After that, mom and I participated the Liar's Club game. In this game, a strange and unknown dictionary word is presented to the audience, and four of the cruise staff give you their interpretation of what it means. Three of them are lying, and one is telling the truth. It is the audience's job to figure out the truth teller. The game had five words: Shittimwood, Dumka, Titup, Sloach, and Fullfhart. After the game, mom and I went to bed, ready for a brand new sea day tomorrow. Pretty soon we'll be crossing the International Date Line on 10/8 and finally be ahead of all the world! Stay Tuned!
