600 people got on in Adelaide and they're like a blood transfusion - new faces at dinner and livelier feet in the corridors: I think they've lowered the average age to 65. As happens with Adelaidians we have friends in common with our dinner companions.
We were awake early keen to see if Cape Douglas would be visible from the ship - but no, grey fog obscured the shore. At about Robe a cray boat zoomed out of the fog to take a look at us: they travelled much faster than we did.
I saved the best till last - abandoned bridge in favour of a classical concert, the Duo Avante Garde from Hungary who play violin and piano. They were terrific, the best thing on the whole trip, wish I had ditched bridge for their previous three concerts.
Afternoon tea in the Queen Mary Room was unusually popular - obviously Adelaidians get afternoon tea. Another lovely last experience with our favourite Hannah the harpist playing.
The last variety show was fantastic! The singers and dancers have enormous talent and energy: this show was only the second in 23 days - you have to wonder what they do all day...
