We woke up at 8:40 after the cruise director made the ship's clearance announcement. It was 64 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. We ordered coffee and dressed to go out while I updated the blog. We went to breakfast at 9:30 and ate on the aft deck. I worked the crossword and we left the ship at 10:40. We walked to downtown Maunganui and by all of the shops and cafes, by a nice park with kids feeding the ducks, and along the beach boardwalk before returning to the ship at 12:30. It was a sunny and warm day. I left Glenda on the aft deck and went to the cabin to drop off our bags and download my pictures. I returned to the aft deck at 1:25. We had ice cream and cookies and read until 3:40 when we returned to the cabin. At 5, I went to the excursion desk and cancelled our Waikiki Beach Excursion since we decided that it would be difficult to get to the beach in the wheelchair. We got read for dinner and went to the Crow's Nest for happy hour. Howard had bought cowboy hats for the Station Band to wear when they played country and western songs. After dinner, we went to the casino and played slots for 1 1/2 hours. I won 15.25 and Glenda broke even. We got to the cabin at 10:40.
