Day 80 The Final Chapter

Now I'm going to tell you about friends we've met along the way. Ken and Viv have been on since Southampton and used to run a hotel in South Devon, we often have a chat after lunch on the Pennant Bar and put the world to rights! Chris and Thursa, always up for anything and love to chat and have a boogie. Eddie and Elaine, exercise a LOT, and come from up North. One night we wore the same dress on the same night! I have to say, she looked much better then I. Graham and Jane from Liverpool, gorgeous girl (I say girl but I think she's early 30s!) Then there's Carol who got on for a brief trip, she's Tim's wife (the officer on our table) Sally and Howard who got off in San Francisco, gone too early but not forgotten. Steve and Alan who live in Sydney and whom we know we'll meet again. Mick and Mavis, who of course we knew before. They had to cut the cruise early to go home to bad news, we're thinking of them. Last but not least, Barry and Gail who have been texting Phil every single day since they disembarked in Sydney; we really enjoyed their company. So thanks to everyone who we cruised with and also to those I haven't mentioned. Also love and thanks to Phil for buying me a laptop in Brisbane, so I could continue with my life! Special thanks to all of you who have read and commented on my blog. If you are reading this, it means baby Eric stayed put and I didn't have to fly home unexpectedly! Best of all; I didn't put on an ounce of weight.
