Bosco's Birthday Bash! How convenient that we were in a Port with a Wave Lagoon Pool just minutes away on Bosco's actual birth date, November 3rd.

Super hero party hats were hard to keep on in the waves, especially since these came with the chin straps detached! The party started around 11am and went until pool closing, at 6 pm. Above is the group there for last part of the day. (L to R, back to front) - our life guard, Jeff & Becky, Robert, Gary, Sherrie, MaryAnn, Maui Jim, Scott, Julie, Donna & Butch, Bosco, Me, Frazer and Steph. Sadly, I didn't take any photos in the morning, too busy riding the waves! Special thanks to Jim & Deb for photo's and video below. We also had a rain delay in the early afternoon, where we went to The Precinct Bar & Restaurant, right across from the Pool, to wait out the storm. All in all, we had about 40 friends join in the festivities.

The Ship sail away was at 7:30 pm, so we had dinner on board, where the CREW serenaded Bosco at Dinner with a special cheese burger and song and his cabin door got decorated with words of affirmation from fellow residents.

KUCHING, MALAYSIA - BORNEO ISLAND

BORNEO ISLAND is a fascinating place, that I had honestly only heard of from the reality tv show Survivor. I'm still learning so much, but I had no idea it is the largest island in Asia and 3rd largest island in the World! It is a mini continent, with 3 different Countries sharing the island's land mass ( Indonesia 73%, Malaysia 26% and Brunei 1% ). We are only going to 2 ports in Malaysia now, one in each of the states of Sarawak and Sabah . Below is a video that highlights and explains thing well.
