Back at sea - 17th January

Back across the Bay of Biscay, but a lot smoother than the outward journey. I spent a lot of the day reading, and skipped breakfast altogether. After lunch I went to the jive lesson, but arrived late so just watched. They were doing swing jive, and all moves I knew, so I wasn't too disappointed at not joining in. I chatted to one of the dance hosts afterwards, Leonard, and he gave me a quick dance lesson in the corridor! He said I bounced too much, the top of my head should stay at the same height all the time!

A quick work out at the gym on the treadmill, then down to table tennis. Usual group and some good games. Mum and I were partners, and out in the first round as usual, but I felt we played quite well.

Formal evening, preceded by the Captain's farewell cocktail party. We gathered in the Neptune lounge, had fizz and nibbles, then listened to the Captain summarise our trip and give out three employee of the month awards. Dinner was good and afterwards Mum and I went to the evening show. It was cast night, and we had Phillipino and Thai country dances and a few songs. Then bed, and a bad nights sleep, possibly due to the fizz, wine and beer I had consumed.
