Comments

The last full day before arriving at a port is always a busy one with plenty of packing and cabin cleaning in progress by all.

The special occasion last night went well with everyone enjoying a drink with the excellent pizzas made by the galley crew and volunteer expeditioners. The VL's pizza was by far the most popular of course.
Amongst the anchovy lovers anyway!

Deputy Voyage Leader Mick had his moustache removed in the interest of family harmony and charity! Others also donated hair to the clippers for Camp Quality and the total raised looks to exceed $4000.

Regards, Andy, Mick and Karen
