You meet the nicest people....

When I was travelling to Honningsvåg we all had heavy clothes and bulky suitcases. Like most people, I ended up restricting the number of items knowing we had a laundry on board.

Tiday, whilst waiting for the washer then dryer, the stuff to dry, a small group of people began to frequent the place, some of whom had been on the same trip as me. It was like a gathering of the clans, swapping stories, catching up, trying to sort out the dryer settings, remembering the tricks and trips we'd gleaned whilst on the sister ship.

This ship is slightly different in so much as it has two laundrettes. 

Posh it what? 

We could have done with that on the other ship I can tell you. But it did bring back memories for most of us who had, in times gone by, frequented laundrettes and set up social clubs there, meeting on regular days to swap stories about the family, the kids and general tittle-tattle in the area.

It may seem such a mundane chore but its social meetings like this that make washing clothes all the more enjoyable.
