Eastern European Vacation Day 11

Sunday November 7th, 2010.
Ah a day at sea – it’s hard to imagine we would look forward to a day like this, but the four of us are really in need of some rest. During the night as we made our way up the Sea of Marmara the fog was so heavy that the ship actually had to anchor for 2 hours, as further progress would not have been safe. At around 7AM we exited the Dardanelles and the captain made a slight detour so that the ship came within half a mile of the coast at Gallipoli. As we cruised slowly passed the sight of the horrific world war one battle, and the gigantic Turkish monument on the tip of the peninsula, a lone trumpeter on board our ship played Taps – it was quite moving.

So here is how the day went…

Got up, had breakfast, read my book, lunch in the pub, relaxed and read on the balcony while eating chocolates and sipping champagne, had dinner, went to bed.

What a day!!
