Hi Lola, what if I told you I remember one of my childhood friend's phone number? And back in the old days we used 2 letters as the first 2 digits....EL6 (instead of 35).....but I can't remember my own childhood phone number......😮 but I also have to use a new list for my passwords as well. I cannot remember them all.........🙄

You probably called your friend more often than your home number.

Greetings Coolers!

Have a great safe fun day all!

You are probably right but I was only about 5 or 6 years old at the time LOL......

Yes, they are running launches .  We have the afternoon tour.

communications have been spotty. TV is and has been off for a day. Low satellite.

Email has been good. My getting on to CC has been really bad.

A yellow dot has appeared on the door today of a former empty cabin across the hall from us.

A yellow magnet dot on the door means a quarantine. In this case it is a pax.

 

We have to do a temperature check before boarding the tender.

We had the test yesterday on board.

Yes! I recognize that place...

 

Here I am on land, 5 years ago, looking out at you. Same moai as in your picture. 

 

 

I hope that your tours worked out as planned and that you got to experience this amazing place for yourselves!

This was taken in Jan 2009 on a land tour.  Not sure what ship it is. 
it was before our cruising days began so not aware of different companies.

That looks very much like the profile of an R-ship, and I think it's the Princess logo on the stack. Tahitian Princess? Now Oceania Sirena, but we cruised on her in the South Pacific in 2007, and on a Transatlantic after she left Tahiti was renamed Ocean Princess.

 

Here is a picture of her from our 2007 trip. Facing the opposite direction but looking very similar to yours.

It's looking festive in the basement now.

 

I spent a few hours this morning installing the LED fireplace in the wall. All digits intact and didn't get zapped.

 

The tree was decorated here and there after work, over the past week. Since we had time and space, a second tree was fun.

Magical JP!  Santa will be thrilled! 😁

When we moved to our apartment from our house in 2019 we donated our Christmas tree and decorations.  For our first Christmas here we bought a table top tree.  I decorated it with some of my mom's old paste jewelry and some of mine.

 

 

Here's a close up of the tree with the sun reflecting off the red ribbon.

Not sure this is authentic because I don’t see Chris.

Was told we were lucky because we had 2 great days. The German ship (Ada) ahead of us couldn’t go ashore because of Covid. Plus crew members have been here 3 times and were not able to go ashore because of the weather. It has been rocky the whole time we have been here. There is a “pilot” aboard each tender to guide them around the rocks near the shore.

Great pix and locations, zqtchas! Glad you got to see many of the highlights of this unique place. Have a great rest of the cruise. You should be able to rest up for a few days now, right?

 

Here's the proof you were looking for.
