We packed the car ready for the boat and I bought some Hush Puppies in Ripley's Shopping Mall. We drove to the port and had to wait ages to board.

Tessa arrived unexpectedly. There was a market and we bought provisions, coathangers and a £5 alpaca sweater! It was raining quite heavily. Our cabins were small but adequate and we had dinner in the officers' mess - not bad. We embarked at 8pm. There are quite a few passengers on board, including many lorry drivers and backpackers. There are 9 of us in similar cabins: us, Colin, the Moffatts, the Marklands and Gae and Simon Gaul. The ship is the Magellanes. I hope we sleep well!
