Wednesday, May 4

As expected the choir performance was a triumph.  The Vista Lounge was packed. I don't know what they expected but whatever we did, they seemed to enjoy it.  There was another cocktail party in the evening, this time to say farewell.  They're very generous and there was plenty of drinks and hors d'oeuvres.  We'd just finished dinner so it was all a bit wasted.

We squeezed in a couple of shows.  The first was Danny McMaster who did impressions of famous people.  It was a last-minute arrangement because the magician who was supposed to perform was indisposed.  I wish I has been able to write that the magician had disappeared but that would not have been true.  Anyway, Danny was good.  His Sean Connery was terrific but  there was too much Dean Martin and a couple of too-rude jokes involving kiwis and sheep.

From there, we hurried to the Princess Theatre to see Mr and Mrs Smith.  We've seen them before.  Simone plays the violin and sings. and Colin plays piano and guitar and makes faces.  There's a touch of desperation about the act although lots of people loved it.  Marilyn took an instant dislike to Simone who tried too hard to play the Aussie country girl with appropriate accent.  No doubt they were talented but it was a bit too frenetic for my taste.  

We're into the last day on the ship and we'll need to think about packing.
