Today you are getting several random photos of interest. The first shows how pilots and other inspectors get on board the ship as we approach a port. The ship is met by a small craft (small being a relative term!) that pulls alongside. The ship drops a wooden ladder down from deck 3 and the people climb on board. It's a very interesting process to watch.
Yesterday we had an Arabian dance team on board for a show while we were in Alexandria. A guy was singing in Arabic (Egyptian?) so we had no idea what words he was singing, but the dancers were pretty good and we got to see our first "belly dance". It must take a lot of practice for the belly dancers to get their hips moving like that.
Today was the cooking demonstration with the head chef and Maitre D. They did a nice job, preparing an appetizer, pasta dish and Black Forest for dessert. They were selling a recipe book, but we did not buy one. After the demonstration we had a galley tour that was interesting as well. It's on two levels and has an escalator for bringing the food to the dining room.
We had a Chef's Special Buffet for lunch today. The food was excellent and the desserts even better! Delicious!

I'm going to have to go on a diet after this trip. I'm gaining weight just looking at the dessert pics!!! Sylvia
Glad you got a chance to relax a little - sounds like you've been on the go like we were on the British Isles cruise. I wished we had one more day at sea last year.
Those desserts look amazing!!
I have taken time this Saturday morning to sit and read your blog...it's the next best thing to traveling along side the two of you!
Looks as if you are having another great time as you cruise the world.
Have fun with the rest of your trip...see you in October!
