Last lap.

We are now on the last lap of our epic journey. We have today on the boat and tomorrow we land in Cape Town. On Friday we have an afternoon out but come back for dinner and bed before disembarking on Saturday. I think, it's all getting a bit hazy now and I don't suppose the tablets are helping. Once in Cape Town we then have a couple of nights in a hotel, we think, before flying home . We should be back on Tuesday, we think. If all this sounds vague it's because it is a bit vague....David made all the arrangements some time ago and he can't actually remember some of them. We are putting our trust in Cunard and the booking agent to get us to the right place at the right time.
Meanwhile back in the illusory land of plenty there are quizzes , talent contests, Dance offs, library books are being returned and last minute visits to the doctor are the order of the day.
We are all coughing , some more than others....the ship says it came on board in New York. Some say it was from the Queen Victoria, others naturally disagree. Where it came from doesn't actually matter because the fact is that almost everyone on board has got it to some degree.
A thousand of us are leaving the ship soon to be replaced by another thousand Aussies. Has anyone told them?
