Antarctic, finalist and politics...

Well hello everyone. You may think that I have disappeared off the face of the planet, well not exactly. I am currently floating around the earth on a luxury cruise ship. I know it sounds glamorous, but when you are working on board it is far from that. Try sleeping in a bunk bed during a storm and being confined to cabins when you are ill. It is more of a prison for nice people… Still in a way it amuses me. I have plenty to feed my mental curiosity like how have the passengers survived so long when they ask such stupid questions. ‘If there is a sperm whale is there also an egg whale?’
‘Oh I am stuck in my cabin, how do I get out?’
‘Well madam there are two doors, one that leads to the corridor and the other the bathroom. Choose the door that leads to the corridor.’
‘I can’t’.’
‘Why not?’
‘There is a do not disturb sign on the door.’
I have learned that the extremely wealthy are quite a different breed of people, many look as though they have suffered from g-force, the others, well what can I say? They are nice but really have no clue. One asked if the crew are flown to the ship every day… Anyway a happy Christmas to you all and I will try and update you all on a regular basis, although broadband is not so accessible in Antarctica!

Kind Regards

    Could we have some more detail please on how you get a job like this? Sounds like lots of photographic opportunities despite not sharing the luxury experience of the passengers. And, uh, where did that person think the helicopter ferrying you to work each day landed?
