Cruise Phase 1
Our cruise started in Venice on 4 October. The Oceania Rivera was all that we thought it would be. Our stateroom is spacious and very well fitted out. As with all rooms on this particular ship, we have our own balcony where we can sit and enjoy the passing scenery. There are numerous restaurants at which to eat. Four are speciality restaurants and then there is the Grand Dining Room, a buffet restaurant, an outside bar and grill and a coffee shop. It seems that every which way ...

Having a chat to a young Italian girl ...
Beautiful Elafonissi Beach
... and then I take the photo for them, next minute they are sucking faces and I didn’t realise they wanted another photo, OMG please I say to myself! As I left I turned around and the same couple the girl takes her bikini top off and the guy was taking photos of her topless, mind you nothing much to show but she was a pretty blonde.
