Day 45 - Downunder 2016 - Thu - 11/10/16 - At Sea to Adelaide 1

The word for today is 'tired'. With the clocks being advanced by one hour combined with staying up to watch Hillary's concession speech, it was a really short night for sleeping. So we stumbled out of bed and listened to more TV coverage of the election results which seemed to focus on why Hillary lost. The devotional time was really interesting with Rev. Barry doing an interview with Dr. Alan Wright, the astronomer who is lecturing onboard. Afterwards we did a mile walk around the ship in the cold and windy weather before attending Dr. Wright's astronomy lecture on 'Where are we?' concerning celestial navigation. Following his lecture we sat in on his Astro Chat for about 30 minutes before eating a light lunch.

Our afternoon included Philip Creaser's lecture on the geological makeup of Australia and watching the 2016 version of Ghostbusters. There was another Gala night for dinner followed by the cast's last performance of 'Classique'. Since the clocks were once again being set ahead by an hour tonight, an early bedtime seemed to be wise instead of attending the champaign party in the Crow's Nest.
