Parthenon and Acropolis
Very interesting day in Athens and lovely photos , good to see you both in some of them too. Iraklion should be fascinating too being so old ,will look forward to hearing about it. All the best for a great evening, thinking of you..love as always xx

Re: Camels
It's a buoyant market over here and prices are higher for Camels that is.

Camels
From our point of view offering 2 Camels for Mitch was way overpriced. Glad to see you are enjoying the trip. Photos are great. Stay safe. Will continue watching for more comments.

Turkey
Quite a contrast between Cairo and Izmir, unfortunate to have missed Rhodes but maybe on another trip. Your wardrobe additions sound lovely , you'll sparkle the night away on New Years Eve with that beaded top..wow. Good idea to shop at leisure in Barcelona next week. Meanwhile have a fantastic New Year's Eve , will be thinking of you with much love xxx

Humps
No he didn't but it was close!!

Midnight at the Oasis.
So good to hear you enjoyed Cairo and all the sights, especially the Pyramids and King Tut's Tomb which we've only seen in National Geographics or on Travel Docs. and much more too, a really wonderful experience. You are lucky John didn't get the hump over the Camel Swap idea, but then you didn't have a bust-up over the Belly Dancer so I guess you are even. Great photos too, so will look forward to next instalment asap. Love you xxx

Cairo or Bust

Thanks Eva - and good - I think, that Graham remembers John - he is feeling a little bit better - got some tablets from the Farmacia around the corner. Not sure how often I will be able to go on here on the ship - last year it was $55 for 24 hours using the internet and the phone $45 per minute!!! We'll be on the ship around middday today - we're 9 hours behind you. Catch you later - breakkie beckons xxx

Sat 20th December
Off on our cruise today - yeah! Great little hotel here but the services are expensive called the Hotel Barcelona Catedral - we ordered a bucket of ice and it cost E5!! about $7.50 so ordered a cheese platter to make it worthwhile, they brought the cheese, no biscuits or knife ..... not sure what John would say about your cure but think anything that had a hope of working would be good!

Last day in Madrid
Hope the sea air will fix John's cold very soon. Sure cure is Whisky, lime and soda,but can hear John say, "Worse than the cold" Your Madrid experience has been great, even to the witnessing pickpocket action, cheeky devils. Love those fur coats, would be nice in Adelaide winters , greenies permitting...not. Enjoy the luxuries on board ,oh and thanks for the cute Christmas card emailed to us. Have fun xxxx
19th December 2009

Bet you are glad Madrid is gone and dusted! Good photo of the pick-pocket, too bad he's a professional at it! Enjoy! xx (PS Hope the head cold has disappeared John, and pps, Graham Hobbs does remember you!)

Madrid
Great to read your notes and see photos of those wonderful buildings and best of all to see you in one of them, fantastic. You'll be glad of the coat, gloves and beanie, sorry you lost the hoop though. Is John wearing a beanie too...send pics ! Hope your foot is ok in the cold, maybe you can't feel it at those temperatures. Bye for now, take care and love you lots.xxx PS I hope all your followers have pressed the' Subscribe' button and entered their emails , the site then sends notification of your new entry, to their Inbox.
