A slow’ish morning really with very little planned and after Noel finished the Blog and photos which took a little longer than expected due to half of the instructions on’ How to connect to the web’ were missing and so a good thirty minutes wasted until after talking to reception the problem was resolved.
Why they have to make it so difficult and expensive I can’t imagine but they do.
Jennifer read her book and then Noel went to the Gym for 35 minutes or so.
We had a light lunch on the deck and then in the afternoon we went for a presentation on ‘The Falklands War’ by an ex Diplomat who nowadays would spend his time riding around the world free of charge on ships making presentations. I wanted to ask if I did one on UK airfreight could I have my money back but I don’t think they work this way.
Anyway it was an interesting talk for about an hour and he talked more about the land mines which are still in a lot of places which were put in by the Argentinians once they first took over the islands. They have not been taken out yet just in case the Argentinians decided to come back but somehow I doubt they would use these areas knowing they had put mines there. I would move them discretely.
The speaker made no mention of efforts by the locals to frustrate or kill their captors which surprised me a little. Anyway we followed this with a cup of tea and then a little rest and then dinner once again in the Colonnade Restaurant where we joined a group of Americans. One couple was deathly quiet whilst the other much more fun, apparently he owns the Super8 motel chain in America, Clearly rubbish motels make money for the owner.
The show tonight was a welsh guy called Kenny Smiles who was actually rather good and made some fun of those sitting in the front seats but they took it all in fun. Anyway a good day and a final drink in the Panorama lounge and then back to the suite.
