Thursday – The Eve of Another Adventure

It’s come around again so quickly; it only seems like yesterday that we were coming home from the Minerva and the Black Sea.

Tomorrow, I will be joining the Marco Polo for its 50th Anniversary Commemorative Cruise to Greenland and Canada… Happy Birthday Marco Polo!

There’s still a bunch of packing to do, but I have mountains of art materials bagged and ready to go, and lots of workshops to keep the passengers happy.

Fortunately, it won’t be an early embarkation, which means I don’t have to be up at stupid o’clock to travel to Tilbury. In fact, I’ve had notification that the Marco Polo has been slightly delayed on its return to the UK, through the Kiel Canal, meaning embarkation won’t be starting until about 6pm tomorrow, with a predicted sailing time of around 9m. That’ll be a lie-in then…
