Paul was up
early 😫 when the ship docked and I was up not long after so that I could say
‘goodbye’ to Judy and Fred before they left the ship. Fortunately Paul had finished work on the
bridge so he was able to join us for breakfast.
As usual, I hate goodbyes but that is the way life is sometimes. Keeping in touch with friends is important,
no matter how far away they may be. I
know that I will see people again at some point in time.
The rest of the
day was a quite one for me. Although it
was the ship’s turn-around day I decided not to take a wander around Montreal
so spent a bit of time sorting out photographs.
A bit later on Paul and I got off the ship and went into the terminal to
make use of the free Wi-Fi. Our mobile
phones and tablets needed software updates and fortunately the Wi-Fi signal was
excellent so downloads went very fast. I
tried to update maps on my phone but made a bit of a mess of it. I ended up deleted them off the phone and
will upload them again another time.
Departure was
uneventful, but for one family – not so.
They got left behind. Dad dropped
his family off at the terminal and went to drop off the rented vehicle at the
car hire place. His wife and children checked
in and boarded the ship. Time went on
and unfortunately dad didn’t come back… Closer
to departure time his wife and children got off the ship to wait for him in the
terminal. In the end the ship couldn’t
wait and had to leave without them. Dad
was last seen on the other side of the road and railway line, unable to cross on
foot. As and when he gets to the
terminal he and his family will have to make their own way to Quebec City and
meet the ship there tomorrow.
