                    <description>Saturday 29th JanuaryDay in Buenos AiresA long sleep in and a leisurely breakfast was our treat this morning. Buenos Aires looked immense when seen from the aeroplane yesterday and highly populated. We thought it was going to be a noisy dirty and overcrowded city with not muchto see. We were very wrong and realised it lived up to being one of the worlds loveliest cities. We went into the city on</description>

Dawn was breaking and the surrounding hills were dusted with low clouds. The well known statue of Christ slowly came into view and made quite an impression. We excitedly looked forward to our trip there later in the morning.We boarded the coach and started our trip we travelled past several beache</description>

                    <description>Hi all well here we are Where I hear you ask.At time of writing we are in Fortaleza in Brazil. We were supposed to be in Recife in Brazil but the authorities there wanted 500 for every Pilipino crew member on board  according to our captain that would have cost the cruise line thousands of Dollars. So no docking there and a quick change of course to this place  Fortaleza.It is a seasi</description>

                    <description>The last leg of the cruise  from Spain through the Bay of Biscay to Southampton should have been a dawdle. However things didnt go as planned nothing strange about that.We had planned to get all our packing done in the 3 days from Spain to Southampton. What we didnt count on was the weather. Heavy sea swells and although not seasick we would have broken our necks trying to pack 6 suitc</description>

                    <description>Vigo in Spain  If the last port of call was an acclimatisation stop Vigo certainly proved a good follow on and provided good UK weather. Rain rain and then more rain laced with cold wind and a hint of winter. The rainbow when we arrived in port was beautiful but then so was the one we saw as we left Vigo. The other noticeable things were the seagulls millions of them and the Graffiti tons of </description>

                    <description>We arrived in Lisbon and it was raining. Its an acclimatization stop for us or so we all believe  from the tropics to the deserts of Egypt and then into the Med and its cold spring weather. On the way in to Lisbon we passed through the straights of Gibraltar and saw snow on the Spanish mountains. Brrrrrr.The ship parked under the singing bridge.... or as it sounds the verrrrry noisy</description>

It took us all day to go from one ocean to another. The banks were so different The port side was full of towns villages and green vegetation the starboard side was stark desert as far as the eye could see.All over the left bank </description>

We docked at a small container port called Safaga and to get back to the Nile we had to have a 3 hour coach ride through the desert. We were expecting the desert to be flat sandy and boring however to our delight it was mountainous sandy in parts and a feast for the</description>

He informed us that if the alarm was to sound we were to lock ourselves in our cabins and not under any circumstances go have a look reminding the ladies that not all pirates look like Johnny Depp He reassured us that the tricks he had up h</description>
