Cruising the Laccadive Sea, December 6


Today we are having the first of three sea days, days of R & R. Is gloomy outside and it’s been raining most of the day.  Still very hot though, I guess to be expected in monsoon season.  Is good to catch up on some reading, mahjong and internet.  The lunch seafood buffet by the pool was lovely, not sure how they managed to serve oysters but they did.  

At 6 pm there’s a party in the Atrium to celebrate Regent’s 30 years of service.  

Back in the suite now after the party, dinner and show!  The party was a bit of fun, lots of black and gold balloons, people done up to the nines and others in super casual clothes. Is very interesting to see people all together, we’re certainly a mixed bunch! Those of us going all the way are a bit like a big family now, and every time we get back to the room there is yet another gift waiting for us.  Tonight it’s a heavy box containing four lovely coasters - will definitely test the weight limit on our QF flight from Sydney! Had dinner with Dina & Steve, they’re from the US and have a son and daughter in law in Melbourne awaiting their first child.  

There’s really no more news and I can’t make anything up as I’m surrounded by water with no land in sight.  Slowly moving towards Phuket Thailand.

Safaga, Egypt, November 11 Well, I’m a bit light on for news today - I’ve picked up a cold, probably due to the coughing ‘symphony in x-minor’ of people on the bus in Jerusalem a couple of days ago.    So unless I talk about what I had for breakfast, lunch and dinner, there’s not a lot to say!!! I did have a small tour booked, a Red Sea Beach Break , total of about 5 hours, at the Sheraton Soma Bay.    George went and said it was quite a nice resort but that the tide was out and he had to walk a long way to get past his knees!  A lot of passengers have left the ship for an overnight in Luxor, and others are flying there early tomorrow morning for the day.    G has a full day tour to the Valley of the Kings, I think about 13 hours.    We are here overnight, the port itself is unimpressive and no port shop nearby.    I didn’t arrange anything for tomorrow, will buy a postcard!!  I must say it was very enjoyable being on the ship ...

Salala, Oman, November 17 Off the ship today in Salala after 4 sea days. Lots of people were very pleased about that! Salala is probably not a place I’d come back to, it really doesn’t have much to offer although it is apparently a haven for local holiday makers.    Is clean, and has lovely buildings, though not skyscrapers like we’ll see in the Emirates of course.    Our tour was for about 5 hours, first stop at the Mosque.    Our lovely guide demonstrated how he prays, and showed us copies of the Koran which can’t be touched unless by someone of Islam faith.    Was a nice Mosque, much less busy than earlier ones.  Next stop was at the souk but that was disappointing - every shop, all outdoors, had pretty much the same stuff, and I doubt anyone bought a thing. Frankincense is a typical thing to but here as it only grows in three places, Oman, Sudan and Yemen!   Back on the bus we were driven over 20 kms to a beach - I reckon if we ...

Newcastle, December 28 What a lovely surprise to look out our windows this morning and to see blue skies, sun shining, no humidity and then pulling into the harbour in Newcastle!    Everything looked pristine! Our daily Passages bulletin describes Newcastle as being famous for coal exporting, being the largest coal exporting harbour in the world, but also its music scene is now very famous too. If I mention Silver Chair, The Screaming Jets and Vacations, you’ll all know that they are highly successful Australian Bands and are products of Newcastle! I’m not going to take coals to Newcastle by saying any more about the place as you’ll all have been here - we stayed here a few years back ourselves but we’d never been to the Hunter Valley wine area so took a trip there today.  Entitled ‘Cheese and wine of the Hunter Valley’ our bus left at 9am and we drove to the McGuigan Winery where we first tasted 6 different cheeses - all delicious.    Then into the wine tasting...
