DAYS 41-43 - 2 SEA DAYS & PISCO

TUESDAY - WEDNESDAY  - 2 days at sea.  Just the usual sea days but it's now nice enough to walk on the deck without a jacket.  Wednesday was formal so the singers and dancers performed.  They are a talented group on board for all 60 days and perform 8 times (shows are only 30 mins.).  Unlike on many cruise ships, this team does not have to do any other jobs so they have quite an easy life.  A couple doing a tribute to The Beatles performed in the theatre one night and the Explorers Lounge the next day.

A man was found dead a few decks below us.  The room steward checked the room after the "do not disturb" sign was on for a couple days and found him.  Quite a shock for her.

SAN MARTIN - The middle of nowhere - the ocean on one side of us and brown, desert like landscape on the other.  We're about 20 minutes from Paracas and 40 minutes from Pisco so have to take a Princess shuttle to town as that's the only transportation.  A lot of passengers left the ship this morning for a 2 night excursion to Machu Pichu.  They will rejoin us in Lima. 

We were here a few years ago so most of the shore excursions are to places we've already seen so it was a day on the ship.  There were about 20 vendors set up in tents on the pier offering the usual t-shirts, magnets, etc.  Thd most popular tent was the one offering samples of the local liquor Pisco.
