What's UP now? ?

GgGlad you all enjoying the blog so here is some extras for you. sorry some excerpts are short as time and internet  can be  limited .
Plus spelling and grammer a problem with predictive text and letter jumping on the blog programme.

Washing
As you know we being Chinese we like to wash clothes in the bathroom. Poor maid has decided to just give us extra fresh towels everyday as we are using them to wring out the wet washing and dump them over the bath. Even used the bathmat and hand towels. Bathroom looks like a Chinese laundry. The others are moaning as their maid didn't replace shampoo bottles (used as washing powder )

Shopping
For you ladies who want to know about the fashions I can't say that there is any direction here. Mostly casual and you cannot wear Highheels
To walk down the cobbled streets. Many UK labels and European labels but same prices with on going sales at the moment. Lots of prints  but I don't like much.

Clothes to wear
For those coming this way make sure you have clothes for all types of weather. I had to go and buy 2 singlet tops. Just didn't think it would be this hot but today the temperature dropped a lot as cloudy and I had to change clothes.  A knit skirt would have been good. Need a good hat and an umbrella. Good walking shoes a must.

Clem
For those watching we have Janets friend Clement travelling with us who is from New Jersey. His claim to fame is he featured for 15 seconds in the latest  Spiderman movie and also in Salt. Says Angelina Jolie is pleasant but not Nicole Kidman. Poor Clem had his wallet stolen in Amsterdam, tripped and fell in the bath in Berlin, and fell over on a slope in Budapest. Had been suffering with a painful back which Colin looked at and then gave him Billy's  Brufen tabs to keep him going. The next day Clem told Colin he once had an allergic reaction so he had to stop them. Didn't want another mishap. We said"his poor wife will never let him travel with those  New Zealanders again!"

Disabled rooms
Those couples with the disabled rooms are really on a learning curve. They have 2 door spy holes one low and one high. A tilting mirror and a sink plug with a big handle on it. We still haven't worked out why the toilet has a ledge inside it. Billy says he is going to put a seat like the disabled one in his bathroom. Not a good look really! Now he has broken the cord to the alarm.

Last dinner NO money for breakfast
Our last dinner we went seafood. Janet found a excellent restaurant which was the best cuisine since we left home. Unfortunately the bill was high and we had to pool our last  kronos. We and Daphne don't have enough for breakfast. I also owe Evey some money now. Should  be fine as I have gained weight and am on a fruit breaky.  So guess what we are eating in the morning. (left over fruit, packet of chips, Meusli bar or orange juice.  Lunch will be airplanes snacks I guess. Princess here we come.

Today
We all went separate ways and Colin and I went swimming and relaxed in the jacuzzi. Welcome time  to chill out.
Tomorrow we fly to London and transfer to Southhampton. Posting now will be intermittent we get on the ship on Saturday.
