Comments

Happy New Years to everyone. Very relaxing day on board with most people enjoying a sleep in. The galley prepared another great meal tonight, roast dinner and for dessert a scrumptious home made apple pie with ice-cream and custard – certainly could not pass this up. Kevin kept us entertained tonight with a quiz he prepared, nearly all his questions were sourced from around the ship. It really highlighted how unfamiliar you can be with your surroundings – especially details from photos, plaques or posters around the ship. Tomorrow will be our last full day on board as we are scheduled to be alongside Macquarie Wharf N. 4 at 0700 on Tuesday 3rd January 2012. REGARDS: Sharon, Fred and Jill
