By the time we wake up tomorrow we will be coming in to
Kowloon in Hong Kong for a 2 day stay.
It doesn’t seem long since we were here, but it’s 15 months! We can’t wait to revisit the foody places and
get some new sight-seeing in. We have
made a list (which also includes a massage)
Today has been an ending for many of the passengers, as 600
people are leaving the ship tomorrow in Hong Kong. It gives us a bit of an
insight into how it might feel for us in around 5 weeks’ time I am not sure how
many new passengers will be getting on.
We saw lots of affectionate goodbyes in the dining room, photo taking
and overheard promises of meeting up gain from the surrounding tables. Our table of six are remaining together until
Southampton but I imagine it will be quite a wrench after all these weeks of
eating together and slowly discovering so much about each other and sharing
such a lot.
We have had a lovely sea day. The weather warmed up again to around 20C so the
leisurely coffee on the deck by the pool was back, and we were once again able
to walk around the promenade deck without the wind chill factor ;)
Our final sector 3 art class was in the morning and was a
satisfactory “landscape with reflection in river”, in time to display it in
exhibition number 3 in the afternoon. A
few of us gathered in the Costa Coffee bar while that was happening and there’s
a growing camaraderie amongst the diverse novice art students, exchanging
anecdotes, micky taking and lots of laughing.
The choir’s final day of sector 3 performance was really
lovely again. The songs I remember were In my Life (Beatles) Dream (Everly
Brothers) Summertime (Porgy and Bess) My Girl/My guy Medley, Sound of Music
Medley. Mel (one of the entertainment
team) has learned how to conduct the choir, and the evening pianist
accompanied. A delightful way to spend an hour.
I still might join the choir, there’s time!
Ok, that’s our last sea day from shanghai to Hong Kong. Good
night and be back soon. xx
