Stalk - Day 14

 

So who put the "T" in Ceylon, or to be politically correct Sri Lanka. Mel and DH are in Colombo today (also in town is the 710 passenger MS Azamara Journey). Atlantica is dock at the container port rather than the old delapadated Passenger Terminal.

 

Weather is a pleasant (don't knowwhat for) 35°C, sunny slight haze and visibility of 10 Km, furthest I ever saw was about 10 meters til the next alleyway.

 

I just love the Sari dress, it is so elegant (see 3rd. photo), in the 4th. photo on the exreme left is our Butler and the 5th. photo shows ourf personal tender / gun boat.

Stalk - Day 11, still has not been cracked, so here it is again, it is a Pearl of a question best with a Sandwich new not Old. The Cook was killed not by a Sandwich but on the Sandwich to which our quiz place belongs.

 

"Two toilets for a judge".

 

So let look first at the clues, Pearl is not the answer but Pael Harbour is near to it. The Cook (Captain James) was killed on a Sandwich, which isthe old name for Hawaii.

 

So the actual question "Two toilets for a judge":

 

Loo Loo Honour = Honour Loo loo = Honolulu.

 

Ron

[G.M.T.]

This is to do with out Super Cruiser Mel, the question was :

 

"When did our Super Cruise first see the light of day".

 

So we have Mel and when did she first see the light of day, when she was born:

 

Mel born = Melbourne

 

Ron

[G.M.T.]

The clues and question were:

 

Bonjour, this could Take the Biscay, clue is:

 

"From what the ship's bread is made from"

 

Bonjour and Biscay (Bay of) are French and the question "From what the ship's bread is made from".

 

I'll give you a few more hours.:cool:

Stalk - Day 15

 

Already two weeks into the cruise, how the time flies while others are have a great cruise.:mad:

 

Today and tomoorow are sea daysand then an overnighter in Phuket, will be interesting to see if the Atlantica stops at Patong first (best place for genuine fake rolex that I've found).

 

Weather, why bother, just same as yesterday and the day before and the day before that etc. etc.

 

Not much contact with Mel, although I believe that the Wifi connect under the table is not so good as on the table.

 

The sea looks like a mill pond today.

 

Silly Port / Place Quiz

[dizzy1948]

Enjoy Mel..............we have all got a tinge of green......nothing to do with suburn :rolleyes: getting cooler here in Aus.....at last - only 26 C today. Waiting for the rains to come here in Perth. Long hot summer.......over it. (moan moan)

[G.M.T.]

Here we go with an off the wall guess: Boat - dough - Bordeaux - well it's as good a guess as any;)

 

Liz, you cracked 99% of it, Bordeaux is the port, the answer was Board (as in onboard) and Dough was correct.

 

Well done.

 

Today's stalk will follow shortly. We've been out all day getting stuff (I'm certainly stuffed) fro the new appartment. Oh for a cruise!
