ANZAC Cove

Quote of the day: “You need 2 sets of arms, don’t you? Every mother and every waiter needs 2 sets of arms.” Passenger to waiter in the Patisserie.

Today is described as scenic cruising in ANZAC cove, but we spent all morning stationary. There was a 6am service and a longer 11am service… they seem to be making it a mini-ANZAC Day on board. I’m sure it’s very significant for those who lost family members here, but for me it was a bit of artificially generated hype…oh dear, I can see I’ll get into trouble for that comment! Don’t tell JB…

I featured in a shipboard rumour today: apparently someone was telling people that I’m some famous jockey! Well I may be short and lightweight, but the closest to a jockey I ever got was playing the front end of a horse on stage…
