Stalk - Day 9

 

Today, Mel & DW are in the southern Indian port of Kochi, a beautiful area with all it's canals almost like an Indian Venice. It's sunny with a slight haze at 31°C currently. I think the only problem with the weather on this cruise will be the morning, after an AI night out, and one is feeling under the weather.

 

Also in town today is the 600 passenger MS Amadea.

Today we are staying in the Southern Hemisphere, the Key to the answer is in the WEE question:

 

"The windy capital to boot"

Stalk - Day 11

 

Already 11th day, how the time flies by (or should that be cruises by). Mel in in Male, capital of the Maldives a country of a thousands islands. The country is great for scuba diving or honeymonners (although I can look at the bedromm ceiling also at home). What can Mel do, go to one of the island resorts, explorer the city (I'm being generous) with 1/2 hour or stay onboard. The third photo shows my favouite (infact the only one) watering hole.

 

Weather, hasn't changed from yesterday.

 

So we are at the half way stage of the cruise.:(

Stalk - Day 12

 

We have had an overnight stay in Male, Maldives, would not be my favoruite place for an overnighter. Now our Super cruise is now on the second half of a great cruise. It's a sunny ware 31°C day from with a slight breeze coming from due north.

 

The third photo is from the main sqaure / park on Male's sea front by the tender landing quai. Not only sharks have to be saved but also the Maldives otherwise it's new national anthemn could be based on Milton's "Paradise Lost".

 

Tomorrow, is a sea day which have been renamed by our Super Cruiser in "AIAD", it's not AIDA being mispelt but All Inclusive All Day.

Satlk - Day 13

 

Today with have a glorious sea day with nothing todo but count the empty martini glasses and the empty beer bottles - Cheers. One of my favourite drinking toasts besides, Down the hatch, bottoms up and Prost is the Finnish (this is true) Kippis, you kip your drink down and then go for a p... .

 

We have a sunny 32°C with a moderate westerly breeze, just look at the colour of the sea in the 1st. photo, it certainly makes me envy :(. Not a lot of activity on the sun deck, must be the local happy hour.
