I am a day late posting this, I forgot yesterday.
Good morning all it is 5.30am the temp is 11c or 52f, after Tim gets up, I will pack my Cpap machine, we will be picked up around 10ish.
The trip to Sydney went well the driver was a nice guy can’t remember his name. Tim talked to him all the way down.
We didn’t have to wait around as we converted the walker to a wheelchair and that helped us skip the long line.
It has been a long day with a lot of walking most of it done trying to find food. It took ages but we managed it after eating we return to our cabins; well Sue and I did Tim and Jess did a bit more exploring. I am so worn out and my feet hurt.
I am so glad Sue and Jess are with us.

First night on the cruise the ship is moving a lot, 8but I slept well with around 9hrs of sleep although the watch say only 6hrs I believe it was more.
I am up at 5am as I feel awake so decided to just get up it is currently 12c
We had breakfast in the Botticell Dining room, and we will not be going back there, there service was so slow, and Tim didn’t like what he ordered. The bacon was so crispy it hurt our teeth.
Jess started to feel sick as in motion sickness and skipped breakie and return to her cabin to sleep.
After breakie Sue and I went to hear a talk about Hobart and Port Arthur but due to how much the ship was rocking I start to feel unwell.
After lunch Sue and I returned to our cabins for a nap, I was woken by my alarm for medication. I walked into the bathroom feeling great lost my balance or tripped I don’t know which and fell, I hit my head and ended up with a bruise on my arm, a sore right knee and a very sore and stiff neck. I managed to stand and walk back to the bed get my phone and ring Sue. I tried to ring Tim but couldn’t. Sue was here in only a couple of minutes she checked me over the returned to her cabin when I said I would be ok.
Sue messaged Tim and as soon as he saw the message he came back to check on me.

ANNIVERSARY OF DAD’S PASSING, IT’S BEEN 7YRS
Up at 5am and had a shower on my own without issue, the temp is 10c.
We are going on a tour at Port Arthur the ticket said not suitable for those with mobility issues, I didn’t notice that when I booked the tour, oh well we will see what happens.
Sue and I decided not to go on the Port Arthur tour which turned out to be the right choice as both Jess and Tim said it was too much for either of us.
Instead, we stayed on board and checked out the photos that have been taken of us and both Sue and I bought 2 photos.
After lunch I had a nap because I had three Baked Alaska cocktails and needed a nap.
Later Sue, Tim and I attended some quizzes then decided to come back to our cabin to rest awhile.
Steps: 5,066=2.5k’s or 1.5miles
Up at 5am and after a wash and dressing I am now just doing stuff on the computer while Tim sleeps.
We are at sea today, Jess and Sue ordered breakie via room service so there will only be me and Tim at breakfast.
Before breakie while I was alone, I went for a walk outside around the pool twice before heading in to have breakie.
After breakfast I was just wondering around the ship when I went to get into a lift only to have Sue exit said lift.
I bought a Coke Zero with a glass of ice at the international café and took it with me to the Fusion Lounge to take part in the quiz. Well, I lifted the glass to have a drink, and the bottom fell off the glass hitting my right knee and getting Coke and ice all over my leg and foot. Sue picked up the glass and went over to the bar to tell them what happened and they didn’t seem to care and did nothing. Sue had to get some napkins to mop it up. I was in shock. After the quiz we went and lodged a complaint.
Sue, Tim and Jess are going to play Bingo this afternoon. I am not interested in bingo.
Went to the burger place for dinner and Tim went on about the burgers not having beetroot so much that I used a firm voice and told him to get over it.
Steps: 8,119 = 4k’s
Up at 5am and had a shower without issue and dressed for the day, we are at Melbourne today, the temp is 14c at 6am.
Sue and I might get off to check out any markets that may be near the ship. There wasn’t so we walked along the pier for a bit then returned to the ship.
We went to check out the ten pin bowling, Sue gave it a try managed to knock down 4.
We then meet up with Tim, and I had a couple of Baked Alaska’s then I had a nap.
After my nap me and Sue went to check out a music quiz then Sue went for a smoke and the ladies giving free sample massages was set up so we got that, but they wanted us to pay $99 for a full half hour massage but we both said we couldn’t afford it. That was when the sample massage ended it was only a minute or two long, but it did feel good.
Stepd:4,535 = 2k’s
Up at 5am and had a shower without issue again this morning and dressed for the day, we are at sea today heading for Sydney. The temp at 6am was 8c. I had 9hrs of good sleep.
I have worn a different outfit each day of the week, unlike the others who didn’t pack an outfit a day.
Tim just came back from having a smoke and said there was a medical emergency on deck 16 a man was waiting for a chopper to come and transport him to a hospital. Tim said that he had died but was revived and the coast guard decided to medivac him a to a hospital. Sadly, his wife was unable to go with him.
All of us are feeling out of sorts and don’t really want to be around people.
I am not going to dinner I will just get some chips delivered to my cabin.

ANAZAC DAY
Everyone was up early and ready to head home. I had a good night got around 10hrs of sleep.
We disembarked the ship at 7am and had to wait till 8.30am for our ride home to arrive, the trip back to Newie was uneventful and we arrived here around 10.45.
The first thing I felt the need to do was clean the kitchen, I then unpacked my bag sat and did nothing for a bit then had a nap and returned to doing nothing much.
