Day 20 – The cookie conundrum

As I write this, a ship is disappearing off our starboard bow.  This has created much excitement onboard for Ryan, because he now knows the zombie apocalypse has not yet arrived.  The rest of us see the oil tanker as a sure sign that we are getting close to Rio and the oil rigs.

The cookie conundrum has been solved.  There are still some outstanding issues related to missing Zoo Biscuits but the Oreo case, as Ryan mentioned yesterday, has been closed.  We found some Tennis Biscuits today so there might be a few more cases coming up.  Bren and I have now been banned from unpacking the snacks – not only together, but altogether.  I guess that is just how the cookie crumbles.

One of our followers in the meantime has tried to defend my sister’s cooking skills.  He claims he was invited round for a gourmet dinner last year:  french toast.  She boasted the nutritional balance of carbs, proteins and fats.  Oh, it also included a fried tomato – “the veg”. Ultimately he said it was simple but great.

We have our plans for Rio all sorted out:  when we see the sugar loaf, or the Corcovado, sail towards them until you hit land, then ditch the boat and get a coke.  We plan to buy slip-slops, eat hamburgers and go to Ilha Grande, but only after the coke.

And that’s all from me folks,
