TIME ZONES, GLOBAL WINE QUEST, CAVIAR AND DISCO TIME

This was our best day on our trip so far.  However, first, Australia has some strange time zones.  We just changed our watches by 30 minutes, traveling south and west of Sydney along the coastline below the yellow zone. So what time is the Academy Awards program on TV?  Yes, it is being shown live on this ship.  Let's see now, New York start time is 8PM on Sunday.  Sydney is 16 hours ahead, so that would be 12 noon on Monday.  But wait, the USA just went on daylight savings time last night, so that would be 11AM.  Except we just moved half an hour towards, or is it away, from New York.  So 10:30AM?  Then on April 2,  Australia goes into Daylight Savings Time .

Yesterday on the second sea-day we had a decent lunch with side skirt steak, chicken, Caesar salad, tomato soup and rosé. Then on to a Global Wine Ques
