Today was the last day of my cruise and it’s always bittersweet. On the one hand I’m ready to be off the ship after nearly three months; on the other I shall miss the many new friends I’ve made and old friends with whom I’ve reconnected. I’ll also miss the socialization I get when I’m onboard. But at some point I find that I long for a meal that doesn’t have a fancy French name and sauce and I want to be able to walk around all day in a bathrobe if I feel like it.
We docked in Eden in the morning for a short port call; I’m not sure why we even stopped because there’s really nothing here but a nice little one street town, and what I heard from people who did go in, most things were closed since it’s Sunday. I knew because we stopped here last year and I went ashore. The most memorable thing that happened there during my visit was that I used my debit card for the first time ever to see if it actually worked. I guess I’m behind the times. Instead I spent the day packing. That was a little more complicated than usual because I’m not going straight home. Normally the only thing to think about is that everything in the cabin has to go. This time I’ve tried to pack so that everything I’ll need for the next week will be in one suitcase. That took more thought and time than I anticipated so I frittered away the whole day. No photos today. There wasn’t much to see from the ship.
