We met our butler,Rowena,and room attendant Luluth.A great team.Rowena especially is very proactive.Mrsdrron asked if there was only 1 power point in our
suite.There is only
one.But 30 minutes later Rowena is back with a power
board.Today it was a little bumpy so I brought back a couple of pieces of ginger from
lunch.Back from dinner and there is now a plate of ginger.
Dinner was with an American couple from Guam,a really nice Canadian who has been on 2 previous cruises with us and Chris-the British birder on the Expedition team.Lobster was on the menu so we all chose
it.As yet I have not taken any food pictures but will remedy that in the next couple of days.
Saturday and we awaken cruising the Tsugaru straight on the southern coast of Hokkaido-
