The days seem to be falling astern with great speed. It seems that we rise for breakfast and in the blink of the eye find ourselves sitting down to a wonderful dinner. Where does the time go? So much to do and, it seems, so little time in which to do it. We have had three very enjoyable, but lazy, days at sea as we steam south to Fortaleza. About an hour ago we crossed the equator (strange, no dotted line on the water to mark the spot!) and were visited by King Neptune and his entourage. Alas we missed the festivities because the press of the crowd was more than we could handle. Back to our room for a quite reading period before afternoon tea.
