Last day at sea

Feeling a bit poorly this morning but will dose up on cold tablets and soldier on. Looks like we are in for a fine day for our last day at sea and our last day of the cruise.

After a late breakfast in our cabin, we had out for coffee. Julie is then happy to work on a jigsaw but I prefer to walk around the decks. I have bought some cough syrup and chug that down. As I still have a credit balance (mainly due to the $250 I was given by the cruise line for my military service) I have one last look in the shops and see a bag and scarf/shawl that I like the look of.

I go and watch how the bingo is being run. It isn't cheap and I was surprised that the games were played for a line and when that line was won,they then started a new game! The cruise is almost over and I haven't spent a cent in either the casino or at bingo. My mum would be very disappointed with me... Time for lunch and I have arranged to meet Lauris at Kai Sushi. It was a lovely lunch and good company.

Time to head back to the cabin and pack as we have to put our suitcases out before we head to dinner tonight. A bit of a quandry as it is a formal night when you are meant to dress up a bit but I don't want to also wear my ball gown in the morning so what to wear for dinner and what to leave out for the morning??? Problem solved. The ball gown, glass slippers and tiara are packed! Time for a pre dinner cocktail. Last one, and a good one.

Dinner was especially good. The crab cake probably should have been a different shape, or at least placed on its side, but was very tasty. The steak tenderloins were the best, and I always love my veggies. No dessert for me, but I did have a Drambuie which finished the meal well.

Now to the Wheelhouse bar to enjoy some music and then to the karaoke.K from A didn't disappoint but enough is enough. Back to our room for a cuppa and lights out. Has been a great trip but all good things sadly have to come to an end. Adelaide here we come.
