So the Horn Chorus was a bit like the Dawn Chorus - a
complete mishmash of 6-8 ship horns as opposed to bird song. There wasn't a lot of tune about it, but it
was certainly fun.
And then the fireworks.
8 mins of colour all the way across our vision from left to right. The fireworks used are massive and can
probably be seen miles out. The ending
is particularly impressive as the
fireworks change and become a serious of massive firecrackers - the noise is
exhilarating. The partying on board
carried on until way into the wee hours - I know there were a few bad heads the
next day -including those of the crew.
New Years Day started
well - the sea was calm and the sun was out.
We managed to get a little time on the back deck. Peter's classes in the afternoon went well,
but as he finished, the sea turned on us and the waves started to get
higher. I've got my sea legs now though, and it
doesn't feel so bad.
We went to see the show as usual, "From Russia with
Love". I managed to wear the same
dress as one of the other passengers, and afterwards we sat in the Captains
Club for another drink. By bed time the
sea really was lifting the boat all over the place - it wakes you up at night.
Tomorrow will be a a sea day and more of the same, with a
bit of a leg stretch at a port called Vigo in Spain tomorrow night. Then we'll be on the last leg back to
England...... and work.
