Today at sunrise the sky was the same color as the water--turquoise blue! We watched the ship dock from the top deck. Captain Dag was at the controls as he always is for the comings and goings. Just when we were about to dock, the ship backed up and we went from the port side to the starboard side. Captain Dag apologized for the delay but it seems that the loading of supplies and the unloading of garbage was reversed! The mountains(granite rock), the vegetation and the gorgeous water make the Seychelles a paradise. There are hundreds of islands nearby, all with fabulous beaches. Everywhere one looks is a “photo-op.” We left the ship with friends from New York and bought a few things at the market outside. Every port we enter has an automatic market set up for Regent cruisers! We ate at a local restaurant which was good but very hot--no air conditioning. We saw on TV that the US Navy just captured some pirates near the Seychelles. Please do not worry about us as we have “visitors” aboard ship; in fact one is next door to us!
Hello friends,
ReplyDeleteI love reading of your adventures! We have been a little worried, but you seem very calm about the pirate threat. Ted wants to know, is the 'visitor' next door to you a 'soldier of fortune' or a blackwater security employee? You know it's IMPERATIVE that he finds out these things. (Maybe he'll write a novel?)
Happy Easter to you both. This sounds like a most amazing trip and the trip of a lifetime.
Take care. Carol
