20th November 2009

Following on from last night I must just add that Bjorn Again did not disappoint. They did a 45 minute set of ABBA songs to which most people sang along. Dancing Queen brought people to their feet, dancing in the aisles and the whole performance was met by a standing ovation.

Today has been another day at sea. We were a little disappointed that although the temperature was much higher, the wind was too strong to sit out by the pool. We spent most of the day in the solarium reading and at 5.15 returned to our stateroom to start packing as we had to have our luggage outside the room to be taken to the terminal when we arrive in Sydney. We have said our goodbyes to our 8 travelling companions. We have been really very lucky with our table as we all gelled quite quickly, even to the point where we would have a drink (or two) with them during the evening. It certainly has helped to make the cruise very enjoyable – after all think how it might have been if we hadn't got on with any of them.

Although it will be an early start we want to be on deck to see us arrive in Sydney.
