International Date Line

Tonight we will cross the International Date Line. In addition to setting the clock back one hour, we will set the calendar to 3 March 2025, skipping over 2 March. 


This event is hard to comprehend. Where did the day go? Will we be 1 day younger when we get home? 


We will celebrate with music and drinks at a “Jump Over the Dateline” party. (This being a German cruise ship, we find something to celebrate with music and drinks every night.)


We have been traveling the last week in time zone GMT-10, 11 hours behind German time. Tomorrow, we will be in time zone GMT+13, exactly 12 hours ahead of the time in Germany.

This being a German cruise ship, Eve and I received certificates documenting our noteworthy accomplishment the next day.
