Trick or Treat

Friday 31 October 2008 - At Sea/Cagliari, Sardinia Evie went off Trick or Treating with the nursery staff and came back with a bag load of sweets. Dressed as a Pirate, I thought she might be made to walk the plank, but no, instead they did a far worse thing... returned her to us! Debi and Liz from the nursery took her out to the Sports Deck and Evie demanded sweets with menaces from the sports staff, and then off to the shop, where she was supplied with more sugar-induced rocket fuel!  Cagliari was wet! In fact, we were drenched. Campbell decided to take us all out for a walk. We went up hill, and up and up and up until I said I'd had enough. On our walk back down we got even more soaked. Instead of sightseeing, we met half the passengers fro the QE2 inside a department store! In the evening Evie and I dressed up as witched (Nana didn't need to as that is how she normally dresses! Only joking). Everyone admired our hats! Many of the public rooms on QE2 had turned into halloween...

QE2

From tomorrow, my blog will slightly change as I will be heading on board QE2 for her last proper cruise before she goes off to Dubai. I'm not sure whether posting this blog from QE2 will be easy or not, so it might be a little sporadic.  I am in port on these dates: 29 Oct   Lisbon (last time I was here it was so foggy I couldn't see the huge bridge across the Tagus! We were right under it!) 31 Oct   Sardinia  1 Nov   Naples (Pompeii)  2 Nov Sicily (its a Sunday - everything will be closed)  3 Nov Dubrovnik (gorgeous)  4 Nov Zakinthos (there's nothing there - I'll get to practice my Greek on the locals)  5 Nov Athens (The Acropolis)  8 Nov Gibraltar (Shopping - ye-hey!)  9 Nov Vigo (its a Sunday again - 4th time lucky, I'm hoping to finally get to visit this place!) 11 Nov Southampton (a big party!) We're taking two stowaways with us: Oscar, my daughter Evie's school teddy, and Rex, the rhinocerous from my aunty's work.
