Someone is missing a sock


The previous cruise had more British passengers than TSH and Diva had ever experienced on a Silversea cruise. However, on this leg, there are far fewer and the majority of passengers seem to be American or Australian.  Maybe it’s just a first night thing, but the guest at the next table showed that he was a wine connoisseur by declining the offered white wine after tasting but accepting any provided it was French, without any further tasting.
In Quebec City again, there was the episode of the glasses case and the sock. Whilst visiting a waterfall (higher than Niagara) one of the fellow travellers discovered when she returned to the bus that she had lost her glasses case. Other people in the group said that they had seen the lost case back at one of the waterfall viewing places. After a few minutes and just before the tour bus was due to leave our hero decided to go back and look for the missing case. His wife confidently predicted that her husband would return with the case and whilst every one else waited impatiently, there was much loud speculation about whether or not he would find it. When he returned some while later his comrades applauded enthusiastically as he clambered onto the bus with an object in his hand.  The object turned out to be a sock!
A further walk round the lower old town revealed many more attractive streets and shops.

Because of the unusual itinerary, there have been fewer sightings than usual of other cruise ships. But in Quebec there is a Holland American ship and Celebrity Summit.
