Ferry to Ejsberg

You just know its going to be a good day when you wake up and realise you actually remembered to take out your contact lenses before going to sleep.
But such simple pleasures can be easily taken away when ones first step of the day is onto a strategically placed ham roll left by a complete stranger who happens to still be sleeping in the opposite bunk!

But such oddities are the price of a good night, if I am correct in thinking that's what we had. An overnight ferry is a good place to get to know each other and the perfect way to start Dumball. After boarding we all headed for our cabin's which were allocated randomly - a cause of some confusion later at 3am!
An overpriced meal followed by overpriced drinks, accompanied by some dodgy guitar playing and slurred singing. Sambuka's get the party started. . . Dancing with George and Zippy, and being chased round the bar in a sweltering sheep costume by a Welshman shouting 'your a### is mine..!'. A Rogue Trader falling from one deck to the next, landing through the bench we're sitting on! Just scratching the surface with a few memories of the first night!

But up at 8am and a big brekkie sorts the men from the boys. A select few even back drinking beers and Jagermeister at 10am! All for charity of course.
Denmark is 2 hours away and most of us are on deck sitting in the sun. Day 2 is underway!
