Day 10 Thursday 2 April At Sea

Breakfast at 6.15 AM of fruit, porridge and yoghurt with sightings of Kate Cebrano and Daryl Braithwaite.
Elizabeth may have a chest infection, poor thing but she is able to access her portable, yet extensive pharmacy so hopefully she will be on the mend.

Had good seats for the talk on Gallipoli this morning at 10:00 AM but we came into the theatre 45 minutes beforehand.  It was so crowded yesterday that people have been sitting in the aisles as they had to do again today.  On this trip the historians are the rock stars!  They do televise the lectures on one of the onboard channels but it’s not quite as good.  This afternoon the talk is on Turkish music. I am sure it is more than simply the discordant clashing of cymbals, but possibly not much more, so I don’t think we were going.  There is the knitting of poppies as one of the activities we have passed on. We saw a Beatles tribute band “Rubber Soul” and they were quite realistic as their Ringo couldn’t sing very well.  One of the ladies in the audience was in the 300 000 Adelaide crowd to welcome The Beatles back in the 60s.
