The last on looks OK.
The sea looks too choppy in the other shots for my liking.
I don't have sea legs LOL

@ Fly I had to pace myself each day because of the back problem. We didn't go on any tours but used the shuttle bus at each port and just had a wander around for an hour or so before returning to the ship.
Have been to gp this week who says it's now a muscularskeltal problem and I have to go for physio.
Have had to cancel some of my work now because of this problem, although not too fussed about that as I was winding things down anyway :(

Any place, Spanish, I've ever seen, Barcelona does it for me.
Love the place. The people who live there love it too ?

@OC, sorry to hear that- hope the physio works and you soon start to feel better.

@Fly re 2013, we're hoping to go to Egypt in April/May - need the carrot at the end of the stick with all this cold weather!

We walked down Les Ramblas in Barcelona Fly, were a bit miffed at the attituted of a couple of the street cafe/bar staff. Quite arrogant in their reply that we couldn't just sit and have a drink without food. Only we were not hungry having had breakfast only a few hours before.
We eventually sat and had a large lager  :-? took me a long time to drink it but we chatted to another couple who were on the ship so it made for a pleasant passing of the time.



We floated back to the shuttle bus and once on the ship had a kip  :)) not used to lunch time drinking orrrr used lagers  :))

@ Alsatian, I take it you like Egypt then? We will stop there on next years cruise but won't get off having been there done it (only on a cruise though) and don't like it. although Sharm is very popular I believe. Where would you stay? We are wondering if our cruise will actually sail because of the troubles still around.

Never been, but the kids have - and we're going on their recommendation (with them too!)!! It's hopefully a 'special' holiday to celebrate my 60th! Don't know name of the hotel but it's in Hurghada (sp?)

Hope you enjoy it anyway Alsatian, I have heard of that place but never been. As I said only stopped for days whilst cruising, didn't like being hassled by the sellers and certainly didn't like them bringing their camels up to the side of me ( I have a thing about camels). Just didn't feel safe full stop!
 Strange but after all the bad press etc that Israel has had over the years I enjoyed my visit there and felt safe.
Many go to Egypt in the spring / summer for some sun and enjoy it as I am sure you will  8)  8)

@ Fly the sea wasn't too bad, looked worse than it was, ship didn't move that much.
Been cold today hasn't it --- roll on summer!!

I see you've edited your picture, looks like a 'pair' of large lagers to me  8)

Ok, Egypt has now morphed into Turkey and it's booked for mid-April!    8)

Just read an article online about cruise ships in Venice. Locals are worried about the effect on the old town - the boats tower above most of the buildings.

You been down that way OC?
