Oh dear, what a sad day. The cases are packed and awaiting collection. We need to vacate our cabin by 8 am tomorrow morning and travel back to Bexhill ready to hibernate for the British winter. It has been an eventful cruise.
The train allegedly ran out of fuel in Eastbourne on our way to Southampton.
A freak wave broke through a window on deck 5 sending sea water in to the ship
We were confined to our cabins, while the ship changed course to repair the damage.
The weather around Malta was so bad that we missed out that port altogether. It was replaced by an amazing afternoon sail into the Venice sunshine.
The rain in Corfu was constant and torrential.
The faulty plumbing in our bathroom flooded our whole cabin, the corridor outside, and part of our neighbours’ cabins.
We were given a free meal in the speciality restaurant, Sabbitinis (beautifully presented and served, but perhaps the quality of the food was overstated).
We have been onboard for 17 days and travelled 5993 nautical miles. I don’t want to go home.
If you have taken the trouble to read this blog, I thank you sincerely for your interest. I have now reached day 20 of my 50 day blogging challenge and will complete the remaining 30 days in April and May 2012, as we circumnavigate the globe via the Far East and Alaska. By the end of next week, I should have added a few more photos and links to my cruise photo album.
