Wednesday 1st October
By now we are in get the getting ready to head home state of mind. So since the weather was pretty good we decided we would go out for a nice walk and then when we got back I could do some more uni work. Deadline is approaching fast!
En route to the walk mag mentioned that there is a Dollar store near by, and suggested we check it out. Always one to look for a bargain, I was looking forward to having a mooch about.
I had a good look around, ended up getting the last lot of sweets for presents and other bits and bobs.
After this we headed to town.
After driving around a bit we managed to get parked up. Next on the agenda was LUNCH! Since we didn't know if we would get fed on the ferry or not we wanted to have a nice big lunch.
We found an Indian which we had walked past the week before. Had a look at the menu and everything sounded super nice! Off we went!
We got all the above for only £14!!!! It included naan, curry with rice a little bit of potato curry, unlimited drinks and salad bar! It was fantastic. Would really go back there again. It was called the Star :)
After lunch we wandered around some more, I saw a studio called Barbarella. Mag suggested we have a look in there to see what the jewelry they have. I loved it. I looked at everything, it was so good. Expensive but good, and well I ended up getting my other nostril pierced. The guy who pierced it was fantastic. Such a really nice cool guy.
After this it was time to head to the ship. Oh boy this was hard work. Mag had lost the address. Much stress happened in the car. Eventually we found the blue building, and checked in.
We then had to sit around for about 2 hours until we were allowed on board.
Once onboard we headed to our prison cell, well I mean cabin!
As you can see from the photos there was not that much room lol. We had bunk beds, a little table, a sofa and a shower with toilet.
We heard the sound of cutlery, and nearly ran out of the room down the only hallway we were allowed to go down, and saw people getting food. Turns out that the chief left out a few plates of food for us. We had 3 bits of random meat 2 boiled potatoes with gravy.
After that we went back to the cabin, I decided to take some sleeping tablets and well that knocked me out until the next morning! I woke up late so I missed breakfast, I was not too bothered if i'm honest. Mag went off to get some food. I just went back to sleep again. I think I slept until about lunch time. We had 30 minutes to eat. I had pasta and sauce. It was really good.
After this we went back to the cabin again, we played on our tablets for ages. Mag snoozed a bit more, I snoozed a bit more as well! Then it was dinner time. I gave this a miss as it was some sort of eggy pork thingy. I just had rice and salad. It was pretty good :)
I then again went back to sleep, i was so bored by now. It got around to 9pm we had a mobile signal again and felt a bit closer to home. We thought we would be docking at 9 but it was infact 10pm. We didn't get off the boat till gone 10:30.
Trying to drive home was stupid. We didn't get back till about 2AM....each road we went down it was closed....after much swearing and exasperation. We made it home. Unpacked the important bits from the car and went to sleep!
The next update I will just add a load of photos of the holiday. Since i'm so overdue typing this up, since we got home i've been trying to sort out Uni work, being back at work and being ill. Its been a nightmare!!
