I’ve had problems trying to get online the last two days. We are still at sea-finishing day 4 of 7. We’ve been to art, trivia, cards, and the pool. We’re having a Five Crowns tournament in the card room. There are 21 people participating. First prize is dinner and drinks in the restaurant...
At least it felt like 100 miles! We were in Walvis Bay, Namibia today. We had a lagoon boat tour scheduled but because of our delayed schedule, all tours were canceled. Instead we had one tour for anyone who wanted to go. No reservations, just show up. I think there were close...
We missed the first port in Namibia and are on our way to Wallace Bay tomorrow. Because we lost so much time , we will have only one excursion to a National Park we’ll leave at 4:00ish after another face to face immigration in the theater. Who knows what time we will actually leave!...
Sorry you didn’t hear from me yesterday. I was uploading photos to this site. It took almost 5 minutes per photo. It was almost midnight when they finally loaded. I went to bed. I tried to get on this afternoon and couldn’t. So here I am tonight, Thursday, 11th at 10:00 PM. I’ll...
We left the elephant munching away on the grass. So glad we got to see it. We thought we were going back to the starting point but instead we went to a place where they had big steps to get out of the vehicle. They were harder than just climbing down...
We were finally able to land in the port of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. It was rainy this morning. We had to meet in the Theater by 7:30 to go through immigration. There was a mob of people and we were supposed to leave on our excursion at 8:15. We didn’t start the...
We were up and ready to go through immigration. The pilot was on the ship and all was looking good in spite of the dreary day. We did not get permission to land. It was too windy. So we moved on to the next port which was Durban. We got...
When we returned from the India trip we were greeted by the housekeeping staff lined up to welcome us back. I saw Tedhi, our steward and gave him a big hug. It felt so great to have such a welcome. We were all very tired after a 2:00 AM wake up, long...
On our last day we had a tour of New Delhi and Old Delhi. We drove through some beautiful neighborhoods where parliament members live in “bungalows” built by the British. They are anything but bungalows, more like mansions in a bungalow style. Then we went by Embassy Row with huge buildings and compounds. In this...
We were up early to go for Easter sunrise at the Taj. Wake up call was at 4:30 and we left at 5:15. We got there very quickly with no traffic and got on our golf carts to the entrance. As we turned a corner, there was a cow walking in the street. ...
