Monday April 14 to Thursday April 17
What luxury - 4 sea days and so many plans.
After leaving Salalah we passed Yemen and Somalia and pirate watch was heightened further even though we were sailing in a protected shipping corridor where we could see many other ships including warships - very comforting. We then turned into the Red Sea and had the amazing experience of being able to see Africa on the port side and Arabia on the starboard side.
On the starboard side with Arabia in the background.
It is now day 4 and we haven't done any of the things we had planned - there are just so many other things to do! We have attended some fascinating lectures, listened to some wonderful music, laughed hysterically at the belly dancing lessons, learned how to use our cameras better, attended some wine and cheese tastings and art auctions and even managed to fit in some exercise. Of course the exercise goes nowhere near offsetting the calories consumed!
As today is Al's birthday we are lunching in one of the premium restaurants with our Canadian friends Bruce and Margaret Anne so the calorie count is not looking good for today either. We are hoping that tomorrow's adventure to Petra in all the heat may help!!
