Where in the World Are We?

Today is our 3rd-day sailing from Phuket, Thailand, to Trincomalee, Sri Lanka, in the Indian Ocean.

Today’s activities included:

9:00 – World Cruise Client Breakfast in the La Dame Restaurant.

9:45 Enrichment Lecture with Reed Kaestner – Wildlife of Sri Lanka
We delved into a fascinating discussion of the birds and animals found in Sri Lanka.

It was a must-see lecture for all nature lovers.

11:00 Intermediate Bridge

2:00 Enrichment Lecture with Dr. Bill Timmins -The Atomic Spies – Part 1:

Stalin knew about the Manhattan Project long before the bombings on Japan. The Soviet Union’s KGB had assembled the most extensive network of agents operating in the US, the UK, and Canada. So, who were the spies, and how did the codebreakers from the FBI, MI5, and the NSA finally track them down? Learn how the super-secure Soviet encryptions were cracked to
provide evidence in one of America’s most prominent spy trials.

3:00 Enrichment Lecture with Sue Baic – 5 a day the South East Asian way

Eating more fruit and vegetables is arguably one of the most important dietary changes most of us could make. We explored why they are important, what counts, and how much we need. Delve into the sometimes surprising scientific background using examples from our cruise itinerary.

Dinner was in The Alantide Restaurant.
