Thursday
13th December
For
a change I was out of my room before the set time of 8.30 (by deciding to take
coat and backpack and handbag down to breakfast). Unfortunately I left my room
key sitting on the coffee table, thinking I would not need it to get back into
my room. I’d forgotten that I’d need it in order to get off the ship! Luckily
it’s easy to get a new one at Reception.
I
made it to the dining room with 5 minutes to spare before they close to new
comers, and enjoyed my last breakfast of scrambled eggs. Then I dashed up to
the Lido to get a couple of slices of banana bread to take home with me for
lunch. I sat chatting with Jenny and Judith until it was time to leave the ship.
Disembarkation
was prompt and easy but I had to wait 20 minutes in the cold for the minibus to
the car park. A collision and fire on a main roundabout had slowed down
traffic. Our driver was kind enough to point out to us an alternative way home,
so that we could miss that roundabout, and my memory cooperated so that I
actually managed it. My satnav finally gave up trying to direct me along its
chosen route and fell in line with where I was heading.
I
left the car park about 10.00 and arrived home about 11.20. Good going. By 4pm
I’d opened all the mail and unpacked the suitcases. It will take a couple of
days to wash and iron and process paperwork, but there’s no hurry.
