Second day at the sea. It will take us 4 days to cross the Atlantic Ocean to Cabo Verde. TODAY around 7.30 am we crossed the equator. No celebrations, no fun, nothing… But what a pleasant surprise! The captain of the ship is from Poland! I introduced myself and we spent 1,5 hour talking about cruising and travelling. I have been Invited to the bridge to see how they operate the ship. Interesting! Our ship has capacity almost 2000 passengers. But on this journey there are only 700 passengers onboard. In the evening captain’s coctail in the theatre. 99 percent of the passengers are Brazilians from the middle-class. They do not speak any foreign language. So far I did not meet here any people from Europe or North America.
