After a delicious dinner on Wednesday at Carse House I spent Thursday working on cupboards, spreadsheets, reports and then was invited with rest of base aboard Bremen for dinner. I finished work at 5pm and headed up Duse taking 6 minutes off my time from the beginning of the week. Just enough time to jump in the shower and rush down to the wharf to go aboard.

I didn’t know it was such a fancy ship so I had not really fully dressed for the occasion. We were seated on two tables with two expedition leaders on our table and as the menus were in German we had some interesting translations. One was water with cows swimming in it! – beef broth soup in english! Seven courses later it was time to jump off the ship and head home.
