MONDAY, FEB 22ND--AT SEA

We had a great time at dinner last night with Jamie, cruise director, and Dana, his wife. Rebecca has been coughing for several days now but is bad when she lays down. So last night she coughed from 10pm to 1am continuously. I took her to see ship’s doctor this morning and he says she has really bad case of bronchitis. Half of the ship’s passengers are coughing so it is going around. If untreated it hangs on for weeks. So he gave us lots of drugs and put her on a machine where she breathed a vapor with medicine in it for 15 minutes. Think they called it a nubulizer or something like that. Haven’t gotten the bill yet but other passengers say to expect it to be over $500. We bought travel insurance, thankfully!! So she has to go back this evening to let him listen to her chest again and maybe another vapor treatment $$. This doctor is VERY nice and everyone likes him. We are suppose to dock in Semarang which is on the island of Java and is Indonesian at around 5pm this evening. We will still be dining with the Chief Engineer and shops manager tonight at 7:30 as it is also formal dress tonight. Not sure if we will go to the show at 9:30 as it is the Australian pianist again. Besides we have a 8 ½ hour tour that departs at 6:15 tomorrow morning. It is 3 hour bus ride each way to see “Borobudur”. It is one of the world’s most photographed Buddhist temple sites. It is a massive temple that took nearly a century to build back in 800 AD and was not discovered for nearly a thousand years. It’s a lot of bus riding but came all this way so will go take some pictures. May not post to blog tomorrow as is long day touring. Going to play in darts tournament now.
