Wednesday, 10/23/13 Day at Sea

Attended the port lecture on Lombok, Indonesia.  As always, Ronelle gave lots of information about the next port.  She advised against trying to find a taxi as a tour guide; she said taxis are limited and finding someone who speaks good English is also difficult.  She strongly advised taking a ship tour at this port.  I was pleased that I had signed up for a tour months ago, as most of the tours were filled at this point, particularly the one that stopped at the most sights in Lombok.  It is always best to prebook tours, as they can always be cancelled later.

Attended a lecture about Jack the Ripper.  Very strange lecture.  Why on this cruise?  Perhaps the lecturer was given permission to speak on any topic she desired, and she decided to give this talk.  The talk was interesting, but the topic was very strange.
