1st December 2004
We had embarkation day yesterday, That was interesting. I had no idea what to do because I was ment to have at least three safety inductions and be shown where to stand and what to do - instead I had one induction, couldn't understand the man because of his really strong Italian accent and it was my first or second day on the ship and I had NO IDEA where anything was!! It worked out in the end. The people around me were nice and told me basically what I had to do. Were still in Rio. I went out with Linda and Courtney yesterday we went to the sugar loaf - It's a look out over Rio. We then went to coccobana beach, drank out of a coconut on the beach.(got sun burnt really quickly) went shopping it was fun till I had to go back to work.
That night after work we again, with Stella, went out to a buffet restaurant and it was sooo nice!
Beautiful. After that we went to coccobana beach where they had a market every night. It was midnight, some people were starting to pack up around 12.30am.
I got so excited! A market! I love to look around at markets. I brought two pairs of earrings one pair for Flick the other for me. I also brought a black leather necklace.
I love to look at earrings.
I had this morning off. I can't afford to go out and I feel that I have seen enough of Rio. I'll be back in Feb any way. I don't know how much money I'll make. Katrina was telling me that on this ship you don't make much money. You travel and it's more for the experience. Well that's fine but I have to make at least AUST $7000 to pay back my loans and buy a few things I want - like a piano,guitar etc.
I called Mum last night but it was pritty pointless. I couldn't hear anything really. I thought I got the answering machine so I left a message. I hope she gets it.
At the market I thought of Mark the "streetie". There were funny little pipes and bongs hand made with a little man sitting on top of the pipe or around the Bong. I didn't get it because I couldn't see it getting through the post. People must think I'm crazy being in Rio and having the morning off and being in bed writing in my diary. I think of Mon a lot. I think off the girls too. It's funny. I think of them as my family and they get put aside with mum and Colin. It's like I love them all but you don't have to - try? You just love them and always do.
All the spa girls but one go around saying "oh, for the love of God"It's like - ALL the time!!! Everything - it's like blasphemy. I asked Linda if she believed in Jesus and that he was the son of God - She didn't really know what to believe but she calls herself a Christian because she's not Muslim or anything like that. No Jehovah Witness but she really didn't know. It's a saying that everyone says because the old spa manager use to say it . I won't be - I don't really like it.
I still can't get used to waking up in the dark. I know if it's am or pm because if Linda out of bed it's usually am.
