Book of Mormons

Last night we had a great time at the Book of Mormons at the Prince of Wales Theatre. It was a very slick production and the performers were all fabulously talented. These days there are reassuring security checks at most of the theatres.

We already knew that driving home from the Sunshine Coast through Brisbane back to the Gold Coast on the Thursday before Easter was not a good idea - but we hadn't anticipated the series of issues that would arise that day. The first was losing the second key to the Jeep. We assumed it was somewhere in the van but it could have been lost around the resort. Two days later we did eventually find it in hte van as the key had fallen into the back of the stove.  Our rear vision camera was interfering with the Jeep's navigation system so we diverted to Nambour to have the technician check it out. Fortunately we were able to park the Jeep and van a couple of hundred metres from the workshop, but had to wait for the expert to return from another job. When he arrived it was disconcerting to see him pull the Jeep's dashboard to pieces to be able to take photos of the wiring to send to the manufacturer as the problem could not be fixed. The unscheduled delay meant we were caught in st...

Day 51 - Wednesday 26 July

Oh cursed jet lag! Sleep for 3 hours then awake from 1am. Consequently we slowly eased ourselves into the day. Breakfast at our hotel was uninspiring but edible. Caffeine was essential to be able to explore the shops along Orchard Road. Again we were lucky missing a couple of downpours since we had not taken our umbrellas. After a session in the shops and lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant, we returned to our hotel for a quick swim - quick because the water was cold compared to the warm water in the hydro pool on the ship. The hotel has a sauna, steam room and gym, but I doubt we will use any of them. Anita enjoyed a Singha beer with our Thai dinner. The glass was so cold it must have been stored in the freezer. Alcohol is expensive in Singapore because of high taxes. One local beer at the restaurant cost $9.50  Singapore (about  $9  Australian).

Day 35 - Monday 10 July

With six cruise ships in Tallinn on the same day the streets were crowded with tour groups. The port is walking distance to the town but we were transported by bus. The benefit of this was being dropped off in the high part of town so we only had to walk downhill to rejoin the bus at a different location. Walking on the cobblestone streets can be challenging. Cruise ship tour groups are issued with individual devices which allow each person to hear the tour guide through an earpiece. Our guide had a sensible approach to counting everyone in the group to make sure no-one had accidentally wandered off or become lost in the crowds - she simply got us all to raise an arm until each person had been counted. Our ship is second from the left.
