Passengers on Clipper Odyssey Expedition Cruise
This is one of the nicest groups of passengers we have ever traveled with. The expedition staff are Kiwis and their laid back humorous (yet efficient) approach filters down to the passengers. There are only 49 of us so we are getting to know one another quite well. My personal goal is to learn all of the names. Something I am not good at so it's a good way to begin the New Year.
There are at least 8 Brits, some South Africans, Australians, and Americans from all over the U.S from Maine to Arizona and quite a few from Houston– a good mix from the English-speaking world.
The lecturers are diverse too, a Brit Botany PhD who lives in the Amazon, a Frenchman who lectures brilliantly on history, as well as other naturalists, geologists and then a piano player from the Philippines for the evenings.
Last evening as I was trying to catch up on my blog the action at the bar heated up as the Brit Botany PhD took to the floor with a lady from from Haselmer e (UK), another Brit sang beatles songs (sort of in tune) ---I must say nothing changes –give a Brit a couple of drinks and they are dancing on the tables! Rule Britannia!
