Dubai, United Arab Emirates Apr 12, 2012 Ginny made me buy a 32G white iPad 3 as they had them and no VAT! So could not afford the gold necklet in the pic for her present but she gets my old iPad and is very happy!
Dubai, United Arab Emirates Apr 11, 2012 Its amazing what they have achieved in Dubai considering it was just a hot sandy desert a few years ago. We did a quick tour today but returned to the ship pm as too hot. Here for two days so may go shopping tomorrow - no taxes on anything ! Got moved to a new dinning table as a Geordie couple nearby were getting on our nerves. Peace at last.
Cochin, India Apr 7, 2012 QM2 arrived late due to difficult berthing in Cochin harbour. We are only 1 metre off the bottom so hope the falling tide does not leave us stuck! Shambolic disembarkation soon forgotten by the sounds smells and sights of India a mad but fascinating country.
Qm2, India Apr 5, 2012 We are entering the Piratical danger area and have a RN Commander on board with armed guards as we near Somali and the Gulf. Feel safe but a bit scary!
