Mitzi speaks again to some of the Yacht Club passengers to finalise their plans for the adventures on Dream Island. Most of them will opt to laze on the warm sand or enjoy exotic tropical cocktails and treats at the resort’s famous restaurants. A few will venture to take a guided tour of the famous caves or snorkel in the crystal-clear lagoon. There are more adventurous trips on offer, but these are pampered felines. To her surprise, Mitzi learns that several of the males plan to join a feral rat-hunting party. Environmental awareness has spread even among these wealthy felines.
This is a less formal occasion, and morning tea is served.
Candy has ordered a special exotic tea that she has been told is only available on Dream Island, and on special order on Cataloupe 3.
Candy says her daughter, Lucinda, will be taking part in an expedition into the island’s interior. She has agreed to let her go because there is an experienced guide and she has set her heart on being with her friends Nero, Sirin and Princess Kitty. Lucinda asks Mitzi several questions about the terrain and safety aspects of the tour.
Although Mitzi is assured by the company owning Cataloupe 3 that the safety of all passengers on the cruise will be ensured, she is suspicious of Bruno. He puffs himself up and talks a lot, sometimes saying contradictory things on different days. His motives seem more to make money than to look after passengers. But these are personal faults. Surely the company is structured to fulfil its obligations.
