Of course we had to be April fooled by the boys this morning. The heat is rising but we still have the breeze, thank goodness.
I have very little to say today. Deck sports, concert rehearsals and iced drinks were about the only things we found to interest us.
There is a German on board. He came up to me and asked me to write down the words to �Auf Wiedersehen� in English, and he would sing it. His home is in Australia, and he has been touring Brazil, Mexico and Rio de Janeiro. He had a bad accident in Brazil, and still has his arm in plaster. He said he was a good entertainer and could build a house with the money he could earn singing in Australia.
As the days go by you can sort the people out better for yourselves. Some think so highly of themselves they don�t even notice you, and others are only to eager for a conversation with someone.
There was a new feature in the evening, �A Scavenger Hunt�. Everyone who entered had to fulfil fourteen obligations. They had either to find something or answer questions, and the first one back won 9/6d. It was all very exciting, but much too hot for me.
We didn�t stay up very late, as in the morning we were going ashore. |
