Pics are from yesterday.
I think drinking too much cold water at dinner may not be too sensible, as I’m making several visits during the night. Although we were awake earlier, it was an 8:45 trip to the buffet. This is the last day for those who boarded in Brisbane. I’m not really a cereals sort of person, but toasted granola on top of a fruit yoghurt presented in a small glass with a few rather sour tinned apricots isn’t a bad start, washed down with a small glass of pineapple juice.
A couple of brioche rolls, a slice of ham and a sausage was my way of cutting down on breakfast.
Morning quiz with Julie and Neville – of course we didn’t win. The presenter was Jase and I think we were on board a few years ago, for his first spell as an assistant Cruise Director.
Usually, we’ve had table companions who are really good but we had a coffee in the International Café on deck 6 and were subjected to a monologue of this old bats cruise history, and how she was cheated out of being #1 on a previous cruise, not that it mattered (but it obviously did). She went on and on and on. As soon as Murray and Vivian’s table companions left, we switched tables.
Back to the cabin after grabbing a bit of lunch, to try and catch up with the blog, but I obviously couldn’t upload it as even the 50% discounted Elite fee at $13.50AUD was a rip off so I decided to not bother.
We then arranged to catch up with a couple of friends of Paula’s UK friend and moved on to dinner. But they ate very slowly so we missed whatever was in the theatre.
Now the frustrating part of cruising. Although 1700 people are getting off tomorrow the remaining 200 HAVE to get off too, as the Australian Border Force need a zero count before anyone is allowed back on board. We are getting off anyway, being picked up by our Kiwi friends who have been working locally for the last three years. Back on board time has been shifted from 4pm to 5pm.
One or two covid cases on board, and we know where they. are as there is a small table just outside the cabin where the food deliveries can be placed.
