Sunday 28th January 2013. Sea day.
Sleep in today, nothing to get up for. I
sit with Steve and Jenny for a cuppa this morning and they’re in disembarkation
planning mode. Jenny has to go straight to work from the dock when we get in.
Steve says 10 nights is just about the right time and I agree, but I’m still in
no hurry to return to reality. Not more than an hour later our lovely Captain
announces that due to the low pressure system, which is apparently producing
cyclonic weather on the Gold Coast, our return will be delayed. We will return
to Sydney at 8am on 30th. ??? Has he got that right? Surely not!
That’s a whole extra day! Trevor doesn’t realise – he thinks it’s only 1 hour
and wonders why I’m jumping up and down. He can’t remember what day he goes
back to work. Need to find out.
Glad we took the pills last night, the sea is
definitely getting bigger and according to the navigation chart up on deck,
tomorrow will be bigger again.
So many people have flights to rearrange,
the phones at Reception have been made available free of charge. Anyone
travelling on a P&O package will have their’s sorted by P&O. The wine
tasting session we booked into after lunch has been cancelled due to a large
number of cancellations, probably all waiting to use the phone!
We’ve got a busy afternoon on, although
there’s a bit of a gap now that the wine tasting is cancelled. Trivia is 4pm,
then the Captain’s Club Cocktail Party for past passengers at 5.15 and we’re
booked for dinner at 6pm. Maybe tomorrow will be a quiet day so I can get back
into my book.
