I wish some of that middle east hot weather would drift up to Scotland...I just checked and when we arrive this Friday it's going to be a heady 17 degrees - cooler than Perth...and we moan about mere 19's here!

I was going to say you did not take the camel thought the drive thou :p

I rode the camel to where we were having lunch .... I laughed when I rode the camel across the Zebra Crossing LOL..... there was a group of crew somewhere near by who spotted me.... the next day at breakfast they all came up to me asking me if I enjoyed my ride LOL

As I post they have arrived,and are at anchor off Suez, awaiting their turn for the transit of the canal. Wonder if they will have a daylight transit?

I agree, having been through the Suez a couple of times, nothing great about transiting the Suez IMO. Give me ye olde Panama Canal anytime !!

Quite agree, the Panama is much more interesting...should see some advancement on the new locks but don't think they are open yet...still waiting!

I will check it out in November, when in ye olde Panama Canal on Island Princess.

We have been under this bridge 3 times and have only ever seen a couple of cars crossing. Apparently there is an expensive toll and the locals tend to use the car ferries/punts which are placed in more convenient places along the Canal.

The ship is heading West and on the left there are built up areas and greenery. On the right hand side it is mainly desert with one or two armed soldiers standing under small shade sails every few hundred metres.

Bon Voyage. Where are you joining the ship?

 

In the meantime, enjoy Bonnie Scotland.

Salerno today..

[Gaznjo]

just had to look up where Salerno is ... wow it is much closer to the Amalfi coast than Naples is... I bet you is probably a lot safer... :eek:
