Day 50 sea

It finally had to happen, the weather turned nasty, not too nasty but
not good. It was a cold grey overcast day, with maybe the same tomorrow
and then rain for France and drizzle for England (what a surprise). As
it is one of the last sea days everyone thought they would spend it up
on deck topping up their tans before they disappear, but it wasn't to
happen ........we all had to dig in and find warm clothes!
So today was spent trying to get to the laundry and eventually getting a
machine, I even sat in there waiting for a change, but I didn't mind
cause I had a book and with the dryers going it was nice and warm.
I also packed one suitcase full of nick nacks and stuff, and I have yet
to start on the clothes and shoes and other things (yikes) , it is going
to be ugly! I also have to carry Katie's Turkish tea set, which uses up
a carry-on all of its own, I really am a nice mother :)
Tomorrow I might start on the clothes packing as we have to have our
bags out the night before and that way I can relax (or panic) on our
last day at Le Havre. Though if the weather is yuk, we may not even
bother going to Honfleur. One good thing the Captain did mention was
that even though the weather isn't the best we have again been really
lucky with the sea as we are now in the Bay of Biscay and it is usually
quite rough, but not for us! Well not so far...........
Not even any photos to brighten up this post, sorry about that. We
have to put our clocks forward an hour tonight and then back again either
tomorrow or the next night, glad I only have 2 watches to worry about.
My computer is still on Melbourne time, so while it is bed time here ,
it is waking up and going to work time back home.............which will
be me soon enough :(

  1. Why not spend some time in the spa or casino on board. Make the most of your last few days on your floating home.

  2. It rained the day we were in Le Havre also. Maybe that is normal weather.

    Thanks once again for your enjoyable blog.
