10 Decks of Grey Pt.5 – Slow motion jet lag.

We are used to getting jet lag after our long flights to New Zealand but we didn’t expect to get it on a cruise. However as we headed west to America we have crossed several time zones and have had to keep moving our clocks back. Consequently we are not sleeping brilliantly. It’s an odd sort of slow motion jet lag.

This might explain our latest escapade and confusion regarding the Launderette.

Apart from our deck (pretty much the modern version of steerage) most decks have a passenger launderette. Andrea and I went to one and when we looked inside all of the washing machines were in use and there were three ladies in there. So we walked all the way around to the other corridor and looked into the other Launderette, also full of ladies.

We did this three times on different decks backwards and forwards between each corridor and each time busy.

Late the next day we found one empty and whilst in there I noticed another door at the other end of the laundrette. When I opened it I realised that it was the other corridor. Andrea and I had been walking backwards and forwards looking for an empty launderette each time looking into the same one twice from opposite ends because the launderette linked two corridors!
