Follow that computer
Joining a cruise from Valparaiso, Chile, February last year, Haze and Bob Jollands realised that the dock workers were on strike, which was causing mayhem.
Bob writes: "While I paid the taxi and my wife and the Princess Cruises worker unloaded our bags from the taxi and put them on a trolley for us, and the taxi took off. As we moved to join the queue, I realised that my computer bag was still in the boot of the taxi. So I jumped into another taxi and headed to the hotel we had come from, hoping since they ordered it, that they could identify the taxi that dropped us off. As the taxi driver drove at some speed through the winding congested streets, we saw the driver of our previous taxi just walking down the street, among the thousands of people walking the pavements in the city centre. Computer rescued. Cruise boarded on time."
