Wow! Maybe those that cross the Atlantic or cruise Queen Mary 2 may not enjoy the entertainment as much as have have but for new viewers it was fantastic.
We have had fantastic speakers: Phil Bye from ITN talking about his experiences with the Middle East crisis, Croatia, and reporting on Queen Elizabeth II and her travels; George Takei from Startrek speaking on his life and career plus many other interesting presenters. Our mornings have been flying past us as we move from one lecture to another by choice.
Evenings have been taken up by concerts, dancing and singing. Even Teagan ripped herself out of the children's activities to join me in the Royal Court Theatre for a condensed production of Arabian Nights. One night Mum and I attended the theatre to see the Cubard Singers, we along with most of the theatre were captivated by the performances of the four singers and the orchestra and then last night we went to hear Ben Makisi (a New Zealand tenor)... He was so good the theatre stood for him!
And the food? Most would say they over eat but not me. Personally, I have found the food excellent with good portion sizes. In our assigned restaurant I have been able to nearly eat three courses for each meal! Of course if that hadn't been enough, I could have gone up to the buffet and eaten again...not for me though as there has been just too much to do to be bothered with perpetual food.
Our crossing is rapidly closing in on England. Only two more dinners here, one formal and one informal ... maybe today I should try and get some more photos and footage for an iMovie .... Hmmm ... But first things first, it is off to church for 11 am.
And for a photo - here is a photo of our purchased portrait photo so there is a record that I was actually on board.
