What time is it? Where are we?

Who knows?  Every once in a while they say "you get an extra hour of sleep tonight".  India and Burma were "half off" like Newfoundland.  In other words, we adjusted our clocks by a half hour for those countries;  then, of course, we had to adjust 1/2 hour back.  Two nights ago AND tonight we are getting an extra hour of sleep to get lined up for South Africa.

And, speaking of South Africa, we have tucked in close to land even though we have 2 days before arrival.  There are large swells in the sea, and apparently there would be even larger ones if we were further out.  What this means is that we have been traveling all day in sight of land -- seeing some cliffs, plateaus, and small settlements.  At noon we were 729 miles from Capetown and traveling at a little faster than usual speed.
