Poignant headline - Incredible to think that a climate change catastrophe was warned about 20 years ago and the world is still heading for a catastrophe because more change is needed.

Very true, Lynda.  One thing to bear in mind, though, is that the main victims of climate change will be humans: the planet itself and much of the wildlife on it will survive.  For most of the history of the Earth, temperatures have been considerably higher than they are at the moment.

Tonight's paperwork is a bit different and perhaps of greater QE2 specific interest....

...and the last of the four consecutive bits of paperwork is this.

Then we're back to photos again - and it's probably obvious which part of the ship features next...?

All of these are very interesting. I am glad you collected so many items.

Did you take any of the Spa treatments? I was treated to a Hot Stone Massage there once -- it was delicious, and I enjoyed being gently rocked by the ship while the hot stones did their thing.

I didn't myself, but Yola certainly did!

Sorry about the delay between my posts here; been away from a few days...

Continuing on the pampering theme, it is time for some sea water treatment!

The third picture looks ideal for a caption competition...

Having finished with the pool, it was time to dry off, relax a bit more and then emerge from the Spa fully refreshed...

Apologies for the delay with this next installment; I was in Cardiff from Tuesday to Friday so had no opportunity to post anything.

By this point, as you can see, we have arrived in Lisbon.

Earlier in the thread I mentioned the Polish priest; Yola being catholic and Polish herself... well... there was no way she would miss attending mass on board with that combination was there?

Next up, we kept the programme for the theatre performance on this voyage and here it is with a very 1930s style design.

There are lots of pictures of the Mauretania model, but not many with people next to it to show the scale of it.

Tonight, I remedy that!
