Firstly, the entertainer about whom I spoke a couple of days ago...the Dame Edna / Lily Savage combination....is rumoured to be the Captain's girlfriend. I doubt we will ever find out for sure as it seems that we have a change of captain tomorrow anyway.
Secondly, on the promenade deck, there is a large wooden crate which is securely tied, fastened and roped off. It's been there since Southampton and it stinks to high heaven. We have been trying to work out what it might be; a supply of especially smelly French cheese maybe?...or the remains of any mutineers from the crew? Answers on a postcard please.
Trivia update. The afternoon sessions have become so popular that a trivia league has started with combined points counting until we reach Dubai. Our team is laying in a respectable 15th or so place, out of a total of some 50 teams.
Lastly, we recently chatted with a lady over lunch who has been recently widowed and is emigrating to Auatralia so as to be closer to her grown up children. She has some 17 suitcases with her and has also brought along her deceased husband's ashes. She told us that the her husband hates the sea and would never ever even contemplate going on a cruise, but that now he has no choice!
The next update will follow once we have had our day ashore in Jordan.
