The sea became very rough during the enforced day at sea and TSH and Diva had lunch on Deck 4 instead of the usual Deck 7, so as to stay in the more stable part of the ship. They took some of the stugeron they always carry with them and kept themselves healthy. They enjoyed the time-killing circular tour around the Orkneys in spite of the weather, as some of the scenery is very dramatic.
In St
Magnus’ cathedral in Kirkwall, Orkney, TSH and Dive were asked to leave contact
details for Covid purposes, so Diva offered the QR code to her NHS app. She was
reminded very firmly that she was now in Scotland, a devolved nation with its
own Parliament and that her English customs were not welcome.
As there
are so few guests on board, a number of travel agents have joined the Silver
Spirit for promotional purposes. They are largely younger than the other guests
and are determined to have a good time. Complaints have been made by some
guests, alleging that ‘they are noisy’, ‘they drink alcohol at 9:30 in the
morning’ and – the ultimate taboo – ‘cheated at trivia’.
Is it a sign of the ultimate culture war of civilisations that Diva found a picture of ET on a tombstone the cathedral?
