Gannets, Auks and a free loading goose

TSH was interested in the little auks that were swimming around the ship at Dundee. They were clearly visible as they swam and dived and chased fish underwater, using very rapid wing beats.

The ship had an escort on the way to Southampton. Gannets glided alongside the ship, whilst a group of small birds and a goose chose to sit it out on deck rather than fly.

Diva and TSH avoided the pub lunch in the bar on the last day. They have experienced the Silversea view of a British pub on earlier cruises. They have never heard songs like ‘Knees up Mother Brown’ in any actual British pub.

The remaining onboard credit was spent, although the prices onboard are high and VAT has to be paid because the ship has never left Britain on the voyage.

Packing to go home is arguably easier than before travelling but dirty washing is sorted so that it is already batched up ready for washing machine loads. The butler did offer to pack but Diva and TSH like to know where things are when they get home.
