Goodbye Princess, Hello Yokohama

Dark. Gray. Rain. Wind. Another lovely day onboard the Diamond "Typhoon" Princess. 

Our cruise is almost over. It hasn't been the best trip so far, but no harm has been done to our bodies (hopefully) or our budgets. We can try another cruise, another time. 

We're starting to pack. We must put our suitcases out before 9pm and won't see them until tomorrow on the dock. 

We've heard lots of amusing stories of people showing up on the dock in cruise ship bathrobes because they'd carelessly packed the clothes they'd planned to wear the next day. It won't be us, because Laurie's in charge!

I've got to get ready for my Seiko Factory visits tomorrow and Friday. So I'm studying:

But unfortunately our lunchtime double order of fish, shrimp and chips (and Bass ale) is putting me to sleep!

So we went off for afternoon tea, swearing we'd have nothing but caffeine-laden hot water. But the cakes were too attractive - just like our hostesses.
