We got on to the ferry to Saint Malo and Julz was feeling sea sick. Instead of sitting in our club class seats, she chose to spend an hour outside and then the rest of the journey in cattle class right at the back of the ferry!! Si was very supportive x

... cafes for a beer. We then walked back to the room and Sandy took
another nap before heading out for dinner. We walked across the
square to an Indonesian restaurant, the same one that Charlie and I
ate at 5-6 years ago and ordered the “rice table”, an order of
around 20 different dishes that they spread all over your table. A
great meal and the rice table is certainly a treat if you get to the
Netherlands. During the meal ...

I met Whitford on a swim up pool bar
stool on the island of Langkawi, off the northwest coast of Malaysia,
just in sight of Thailand. He and his wife Heather were vacationing
there when meeting up by chance with three other wonderful couples at

“Pelangi Parliment”, Pelangi being the resort we were staying at.
I bonded with Whitford immediately as we were ...

... made our way down to Market Street and the Fish Market. Bought ourselves some Jersey fudge and chocolates and Jacqui got a new dress. Then we walked back and had dinner at the cafe below the Pomme d'Or Hotel.

The dinner was so good that we forgot to take pictures of a lot of it. The chef is actually starring in his own TV show on BBC. It's called Blagger's Banquet. Sounds like an interesting concept. You can try to download the ...

... port and Great Britain to starboard" the Chief Officer declared. (Not strictly accurate, with Alderney to starboard, but the sentiment is right.) A little later, I worked out when we'd cross the line of my outbound course, and watched for it on the GPS: I completed "Round the World by Sea" at 08:41, at 49° 58.48' North and 01° 59.17' West. Looking at the plan ...

Last weekend I went to the Jersey Channel Islands to celebrate Thanksgiving with some friends from high school /grade school (Phil and Thia). (I also saw Lion King the Musical before I left). Phil lives in Jersey (technically part of the UK, but you can see France from there) and Thia is studying in Paris this semester. He lives in a nice little beach-side cottage Phil didn't realize that ...

St. Peter Port in Guernsey, Channel Islands was an interesting mix of British and French culture. Street names, architecture, and language are a blend of influences. We toured the main Anglican church and saw with marble statues and tombstones written in French.
