A few more....

Now that I using another allotment if internet, I can put a few more pics up.

We got up about 2 hours ago, went to breakast in the Lido. When we finished we headed to the area near the Midships Bar and look what we found. I will try to post more pictures as I have internet.

This morning the sea day before Jakarta it was just a quick photo before the rain clouds moved over any of the sunlight. The seas are calm as they have been over most of the cruise and fingers crossed for the rest of the cruise.

Plus that lets you go thru and add it all up to see if the package is a good deal for you.

Thank you sfred! We are staying on the ship today and continuing on to Melbourne, so get to enjoy QE a few more weeks.

Sunrise in Singapore. The first picture has the top of the cruise terminal invading the view, with the second picture zoomed in so is a bit blurry.

Sunrise sea day before Singapore.

Good morning. We are nearing the Strait of Malacca and the northern tip of Banda Aceh, Indonesia. It is overcast with occasional sprinkles of rain. I am becoming fascinated with cloud formations because they have so many pretty designs.

We are up early and it is a great way to start the day. sfred, your pics are gorgeous and do tranquil looking.

Second sea day on the way to Singapore.

Very pretty MrsPeel!

Enroute to Singapore

Yesterday docked at Sri Lanka

We had no issues in the Suez Canal, Egypt or Oman.

We are currently on QE and booked Barc to Mel and thought it was one segment but once we boarded we had a letter that said we had two allotments. One allotment for barc to singapore and the other singapore to melbourne. I do not like it that they do not allow you to book using your CWC prior because once we boarded we are paying $36 for a 24 hour period, most of which we are not using because of overnight portion.

Sunrise this morning enroute to Sri Lanka.

Sunrise on QE this morning, 9 Nov, our last sea day before Salalah tomorrow;

We are on QE and were expecting changes, but none have ever materialized. We have not seen or heard of anything threatening to us, although in this neck of the woods the pirate precautions are in force. We are due in Salalah, Oman the day after tomorrow and still no mention of changes.

Yes, he was ok. Initially I went in alone, but half down on a rest platform I turned and looked up to see how far I had come amd there he was! He had come just inside the entrance and felt it was not as bad as he had anticipated. I was very proud of him. I have heard that it is better to do a land tour to Cairo but I will table that for now.

Here is one from this morning in the Gulf of Aden. Sorry internet every few days.

We had taken advice of water, hats, sunscreen, toilet paper, some USD, and hand sanitizer. It was a very long day and the toilet on the tour bus was pretty disgusting, but santized myself thoroughly....lol. The hotel we ate at was nice and helped to break up the trip. The V of K was very hard. The tomb we went into was steep and hot but thankfully had huge ceiling height and enough room for the walk down and back up. Many had to take a short break when walking back up. We could not attempt any more with the time constraints and considering the heat strain. But at least we got to see one. Karnak was nicer but our tour guide tried rushing everywhere and was not waiting for everyone before she started the commentary which had most of us rolling our eyes. The Cunard escort acted very professional and attempted to act for our benefit, which we appreciated. We got back around 930 and were so tired, but glad we did it and now had a few sea days to recuperate.

Yes, the wind kicked up quite a bit, lightning all around but the waves not too bad so no seasickness for me. It seemed that the storm did not last too long and was around 3am. The next morning several areas down Deck 2 hallway had fans blowing most of the day to try and dry up water that came from somewhere. All but that day, the sea has been pretty calm, for which I am thankful. Here is the morning sunrise this morning and a snapshot of where our location was earlier.

Thanks for your info, it is helpful. A good tip about the man trying to charge for the toilets.

Here are a few pics from QE in the beginning of the Suez Canal. Sorry, forgot to enter spaces between pics.
