Each morning, very early, one of the elves on the ship comes around and changes a piece of the carpet in each lift to signify the day of the week. It's a brilliant idea, as it is too easy to lose track. Yesterday, our lift showed it was Thursday but there was a rumour doing the rounds that at least one of the lifts at the front of the ship thought it was Friday.
The elves had also been busy in other areas. Overnight, a huge Christmas tree appeared in the Promenade. At least 20 feet high, it towered over everything. So, this week we're celebrating Thanksgiving, Hanukah and Christmas. It's all a bit much!
We're in Wellington today; it's a beautiful day, sunny but windy. Out itinerary is a bit odd. We didn't arrive in Tauranga until 2pm, in Napier at 3, and Wellington at 10am. We're used to arriving about 7am and leaving about 5, and we're not sure why this ship is different. In any case, it doesn't bother us. We haven't been ashore yet and probably won't be in Dunedin either.
