Quite cold but bright and sunny.
Did exceptionally well at trivia and achieved our best score of 18. Unfortunately, the winners had 19 but closest we had been – apart from the time we would have had 19, if the team had not overruled my correct answer. On this occasion, two teams – including our competitors – had 19 and there was a tie breaker: When did Brasilia become capital of Brazil? – 1960. We would have said 1964 and lost anyway.
Country Fare in the ballroom at 11am. Includes throwing a wet sponge at a senior (unspecified) crew member and a jumble sale of unwanted clothing, donated by passengers. Decided that the excitement would be too much for me and listened to the lecture instead. Another well chosen subject from our General – how our glorious British spies fooled the Germans.
Most of the German passengers get off in Hamburg, two days after we disembark – no doubt they will have a speaker on “The glorious Reich”.
Final gala evening tonight, so put on best frocks and danced until late.
