Quote of the day: “You can go to the Purser’s desk anytime and they’ll give you a printout of your onboard account. Then they’ll pick you up off the floor and call the nurse. She’s a very busy person.” Fellow passenger, a cynical Pom of course!
Another lazy day on the floating retirement village! Rumour has it that 8 people have passed away since the cruise left Sydney, but that is just a rumour… one of our dinner table buddies delights in keeping us up to date with the score. I feel he’s tempting fate though, seeing he’s hitting 80 himself…
The lectures over the last few days have been very good. There’s an Egyptologist on board from Dubai to Port Said, and he’s quite passionate about his subject. We’ve attended a couple, but if we miss them they are replayed on TV.
Technical problems are ongoing. Definitely no stop at Safaga, but the hope is we will still be able to hit our allocated slot to go through the Suez Canal. We’re just chilling on it all and watching the sea roll past… Still in the Gulf of Aden today, but should hit the Red Sea tomorrow.
