My aged companion, Crisp, was livid, upset and downright unhappy. I have to say an unhappy Crisp was not a pleasant sight.

It was all to do with a cruise she booked. The brochure promised, whale watching, reef viewing and a unique oceanic experience.

Well, there were no whales, the reef was all but non-existent, and the only thing that suggested an oceanic experience was being on the boat.

“It would have been more exciting if we’d been chained up by pirates and held for ransom,” exclaimed Crisp. I had been worried about Crisp in recent times as she appeared to embrace some rather extreme behaviours, nude bathing, being chained up, I was wondering if the tablets she took each night were really for her nerves. They were not settling her but firing her up, and I wondered how much longer we might survive on our holiday.
