September 18

18 Tuesday  (262-104)

Today is daddy's birthday, As we are now in port we can't celebrate it.
We went ashore in the morning and did some shopping.
Next we went by tram to the famous marble shop and had a look at their sculpture. It was magnificent, especially the one of the mermaid in a shell. There was a green light inside which gave it the colour of sea-green. After that we did some more shopping. Iris bought some carnations for daddy's birthday party. We also bought a silk shawl each. They were worth 34/- and 38/-
The boat left at 5:30 p.m. and all were glad to be at sea once more. We had a calm sea luckily! About 40 new passengers joined us.
