After over three weeks of touring and living out of suitcases it has been great to unpack properly, get all the washing up to date, and relax. We sailed out of Sydney last night and are headed for Brisbane tomorrow. So today was spent adjusting to the rhythms of the sea. Firstly I had an unfortunate incident with women’s knickers.
It started innocently as woke early and decided to do the washing. Now the laundry is the only place on the ship that is very busy and requires patience. I found a machine and set it going while I had breakfast. After a delay I also found a dryer, however I wanted to attend a lecture so I arranged that Marion fetch the dried washing. I then changed my mind and before the lecture decided to see if the washing was dried. At this point I found some knickers on the side of the room, but not all the washing. Indignantly I thought that somebody had gathered up my washing. I met Marion after the lecture and she said she had collected the washing; it then occurred to me that I had hijacked somebody else’s knickers, cue panic. This laundry lark really has etiquette of its own.
Other than that excitement we attended our first trivia session, ate and drank well. Despite being full the ship seems very quiet, there is no bustle around the pool, and for much of the time we had the back of the ship to ourselves. I can only conclude that everybody hibernates between meals. I will investigate further.
