Day 115 – Monday 5th May
2014 – At Sea
It was a
fair pleasant day at sea with smooth seas and a sunny day.
 |
| Gibraltar |
 |
| Morocco - Africa |
At 15.00 we
were passing the Rock of Gibraltar, always a fine sight and unusually, there
did not appear to be many ships at anchor off Algeciras. While on the other side, we were having our
last look at Africa with the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.
 |
| Afternoon Tea |
At 15.30; a
daily occurrence, which I went to for the first time today, afternoon tea in
the Queen’s Room. This is a white
service affair with numerous servants looking after you, with plenty of tea on
offer, and lots of sandwiches and cakes.
Accompanied by the string quartet, I thoroughly enjoyed the occasion and
maybe should have been doing this earlier on in the voyage.
 |
| Queen Mary 2 |
 |
| Me and a Queen |
From around
18.00 the Queen Mary 2 caught up with us and stayed on our port quarter for the
rest of the night, a very fine sight. Tomorrow
will meet up with our sister ship Queen Victoria in Lisbon, who is making her
way from Funchal in Maderia.
 |
| Table 379 |
 |
| Ladies |
This is our
dining table no.379 in the Britannia Restaurant with Colin, Ulrika, Me, Kath,
Edwina and Willem. The ladies with
Hannah; our wonderful Pilipino waitress, who looks after us all.
Tonight is a
special night in the theatre with the members of the crew putting on this
evening’s entertainment. They came from
all different departments, singers, dancers, jugglers and every one of these
amateurs were stars. The packed audience
with some standing really enjoyed the show, and gave them a standing ovation at
the end.
