Cruise Endings

It starts when you notice the pill bottles starting to get a bit empty.  Next you get a note from the ship about disembarkation instructions (when and where to meet to get off the ship).  But it really hits home that the cruise is over when the protective mat shows up on your bed so you have a place to put your suitcases when packing.  That happened today.  So now we're spending the afternoon making sure all our stuff fits in our luggage.  We always leave some room when packing before the trip but we always come back with more than we left with, in this case a new sweater for me and embroidered sweatshirt for Mary along with a few souvenirs. 

We enjoyed a British Pub Lunch today, fish and chips for both of us, followed by a Princess special dessert buffet when the pastry team shows off their masterpieces. Here are two of them. It was hard to decide what to select.  I had hazelnut cake ands tiramisu while Mary had pavlova.  YUM!
And what more fitting picture can there be to end a cruise than this one:
