Preparing for Disembarkation i.e. PACKING!

We have SOOOO much to pack! We have been collectiong boxes from various crew members for a couple of weeks already. The best ones are from the florist. They get fresh flowers delivered at almost every port, direct from Holland. The boxes are huge. We have 4 in our room so far. Take up a lot of room.

The first item we packed was Mel's large wooden elephant from Kenya. We'd purchased the pillows in Namibia for that purpose. We cut down 2 florist boxes and fit them together into one large, wide box. I had to sit on it to get it closed securely enough. That's just the start. We will get our suitcases from the hold one by one and start filling them up. Unfortunately there is no place to put them once they are full other than in our cabin. Should be interesting moving around with all of them in here.
