Well ... I decided to try and walk around a bit in Aarthus. Dusty declined saying I was mad! It was raining very hard so I first had a look in the Danish craft marquee on the dockside, which was interesting.
Carried on a bit further and then heard the announcement coming from on board the Saga Ruby saying that they had laid on a shuttle bus into town after all, due to the inclement weather. Still, I thought, I will be OK in my rain jacket and hood and already on way. You've guessed it. After three-quarters of an hour venturing towards the City Centre I was soaked to the skin and fed up!
So yes I turned back to the ship, and got some pictures and bits and bobs in the Danish tent. I also took a photo of a craft lady making some wrought iron work baskets which she kindly allowed; and then I went back inside the ship.
Dusty was doing some laundry ready for home so I had to add my soaking wet jeans and my rain jacket and top, and had made a bigger job than necessary all round!!!
Hey, ho. Trust me.
Still, all was not lost. Because of the weather we decided to pack the cases as much as possible today, instead of leaving it all to tomorrow (a full sailing day). So, whilst Dusty dried the clothes I did the early packing. Consequently we are all organised for home now.
This evening as mentioned before is the Captain's Farewell dinner and we have kept our glad rags out for that of course. Also some clean clothes plus sponge bag etc.for tomorrow and home journey on Monday morning. We berth in Newcastle on the 18th. So, otherwise all clothes and equipment and gifts and momentos are in suitacases labelled 'homeward'.
Must say this trip has been amazing; but east, west home's best and it will be very good to get back home and see our Chez and our friends and so on.
PS: Nearly the end of our Holiday Blog. But don't worry; when we get home we have lots of lovely photographs of our trip in our camera and we when we have downloaded them into our PC we will make a special Cruise 2007 page in www.ivyvillacompany.com for you all to see.
