The port on the Kamchatka peninsula is a working port with a lot of not very beautiful fishing boats. But the surrounding area is stunning and the sail away scenery exceptional.
Immigration procedures were as tedious as possible, with many officials spending a long time clearing the ship and then examining each guest's passport in great detail as they left the ship. Diva decided to opt out of the whole thing and stayed on t he Silver Shadow with her laptop, killer sudoku book and Kindle.
TSH and Diva have attended a couple of shows. The first was a tango show, which did not seem like the tango shows they saw in Uruguay and Argentina. The second was advertised as an Irish pub session. Perhaps readers with Irish connections could indicate in which pub the performers change part-way through the evening into evening dresses and dinner suits to perform 'You raise me up'. Complete with the march towards the audience on the key change. 'Fairy tale in New York' had a change of words so that it was all positive and she never got to call him an arsehole. But they sang 'Whiskey in the Jar' and 'Wild Rover' and they were brave enough (on a cruise ship) to sing 'The wreck of the Irish Rover'.
