.Hi everyone well the particular island we stopped at was very bleak and very poor and I mean poor, we took a bus ride up to the top of this mountain where the bus promptly broke down!! So the driver phoned his boss who after about threequarters of an hour of been buffeted about by the wind he arrived in a taxi with a drum of water to refill the radiator, we then ghot down into the town and wandered around not much there we found the veg and fruit market even that was all very poor quality. Back on board we have been relaxing, eating, watching the shows at night and chatting with our fellow passengers we have only found one miserable person so thats not bad out of 1100.

Hi Bradley and Nicola thanks for looking after the old homestead!! hope you are emptying the freezer and cupboards. No Nicola cannot have Billie she is Barry's cat and he loves her more than me!!! Daves Sara also wanted Billie Barry will not part with her she is a softie. Yes we are having a grand old time, we are both brown as berries already, our weight I'm not sure about as I have never yet found a weighing scale on any ship we have been on I think they omit them on purpose!! We could not get of the ship at St. Helena as the swell was to much for the tenders which is a shame as I was really looking forward to exploring that island next stop Cape Town which I am really excited about revisiting and showing Barry as much as poss in the 2 days we will be there. I am now going to try to download some photos, I'm not sure if I will beable to, I now wish I had practiced this at home with this web site, Keep well and spend that money luv you loads Nan.

Hi Sheila/Barry no AA in St Vincents then? One miserable person on the whole ship, that not bad going, i bet he starts the spread of Norwalk on board as well! The weather here after a milder spell is about to turn colder again oh Joy. Hoping to play Golf with Julie & Alan on weekend. Keep sending the pics.
