Caleb’s birthday came and went today in a very quiet sort of way. We did his present-hunt this morning, and he opened and played with everything before breakfast. We went out for lunch at Ardees, and then hired a video for the afternoon, since the weather wasn’t too great anyway. We didn’t know what Svetlana’s plans were going to be during the day, but as it happened she was out for most of the morning, and then came and watched some of the video with us. We saw her off at the docks at 4 pm, but as I write now (18h48), the ship is still in the harbour. It was supposed to have left at 18h00. It will arrive in Walvis on Saturday, and then continue down to Cape Town. Oh yes, I also went to the hospital first thing this morning to get Caleb’s belly button looked at – today was the post-op checkup. The surgeon is very happy with it, and I must say, it does look a lot better even than Sunday. (Ah, the ship’s horn is just sounding now, 19h05).
As I mentioned previously, we saw Svetlana off at the docks. It was good that we did this, because now we know the procedure for when my parents leave in June. Very simple – luggage needs to be dropped off earlier during the day, and then passengers need to be at the docks at a certain time and wait for a bus which comes from the pier to the place where everyone is waiting. That’s how one knows that it’s time to board. It’s an easy little walk, but for some reason (I think safety), they transport RMS passengers by bus.
