Finally, we got our day at sea. Unfortunately, having a day at sea on the last day means that # large portion of the day was spent packing and getting ready to disembark.
I was supposed to spend that morning catching up on blogs, but clearly because I'm writing here on the train to Budapest, that didn't happen. Instead, I spent my morning sitting outside and freezing while waiting for people to come to our table. Jimmy also introduced me to the chocolate croissants. I'm sad it took me until the last day to discover those, but I generally try to avoid the pastry table.
We did morning trivia and it was crazy hard, so that didn't go too well. We all went to the morning Bingo. They did a raffle for a free cruise and because Chris didn't have any raffle tickets, he unwillingly got volunteered to draw the raffle ticket. He was hilariously awkward up there. He wasn't helpful either. You'd think that if he was drawing the raffle ticket he'd at least try to draw ours, right?
Jimmy would jump back and forth into the Bingo game. He came in a little while into the big jackpot raffle, so I let him use my card while I played with Mia's. Turns out he brought a bit of good luck because that ended up being the winning card and he jumped on stage doing the most entertaining dance.
We followed that bingo game with lunch and then some packing before our evening trivia. The most entertaining part of that game was that one of the questions asked what topographical feature is called gang in Korea. Korean classes apparently failed Mia and me because we had no idea. Halmony walked into the room at the right moment, so we tried to ask her what a "gang" was. This involved some miming but we finally got the right answer. Its a river, for the record.
Dinner was entertaining because Chabba unintentionally flirted with our flamboyantly gay waiter. Chris had given his wine glass back to the waiter and he said thank you in response. Chabba then said "oh, for a thank you, I'll give you my glass too." The waiter giggled flirtatiously as he walked away and Chabba remained entirely oblivious to what just occurred.
After dinner, changed clothes and went to the casino. Mia, Chris and I played a game of craps. Chris had his $50 of previous winnings and Mia and I both put in $10. All three of us came out with much more money than we started with, so we left the casino quite happy. Chris was the clear winner being $150 up. I believe that money will either go to comic books or soccer. We went downstairs and played some Machiavelli for a while before going to bed early so we cpukd get up in time for our 5 am wake up call
