Today was Amanda's turn to drive which i was very worried about as she hadn't driven a wagon in 3 years and didn't know how to reverse which would mean if we had to reverse i would have to do it.
Made our way to the Gateshead office in heavy rain again, to pick more items up. We then had to meet Katie and Joanna who were coming from Glasow and met at the Newcastle Royal mail depot to collect our Fuel cards.
We had to sit there for two hours waiting for a courier to deliver them.
We had to leave at 2pm as our ferry left at 5pm and newcastle is shocking for traffic. We set off at 2:05 got out of the depot and the courier drives past.
Fuel Cards Wahoo!!!!
Got to the ferry teminal were the rest of the convoy were waiting and had a chance to sort the goods out and go through documentation.
I drove the wagon aboard which was quite scary.
We were then given our cabin keys, i picked cabin 255 and Amanda picked 256, we got to the cabins and Amanda's was damaged so she got moved to deck 8 leaving me down there, typical my luck; my cabin was on deck 2, i called it steerage. Right at the bottom of the ship near the engine room oh and no fancy doors just white rusted water tight doors and pipes swear i had the same pipes Jack was handcuffed in Titanic, all reminded of the Titanic all you need when trying to sleep, vibrations and loud engine noises
Everyone else was on deck 8.
The sea was not to bad but later in the night became rough, put it this way you couldn't tell who was drunk or not because everyone couldn't walk straight lol.
