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.
