Tranquility Base Posted July 5, 2023 #178 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Yes, the Aqaba tales are being told around the ship today. ( Petra & Wadi ) Jo did a water tour which I’m sure she will blog about. Very close to our anchorage point off Suez. Due there about 4pm ( about 90 mins time ). Don’t know when tomorrow morning we’ll start the transit but from experience probably between 5 & 6 am ( about noon SYD time ) Lovely weather in the shade today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility Base Posted July 5, 2023 #179 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Suez update. Now at anchor soon to bunker fuel. At this stage, unless a warship turns up, we are the lead ship. Expect to start out about 4am ( 11am SYD). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranquility Base Posted July 7, 2023 #191 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Speed is showing as 21 kts which is encouraging ( touch wood ). Will be able to judge ETA more accurately after the noon announcement. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility Base Posted July 7, 2023 #192 Share Posted July 7, 2023 At the Captain’s talk and Q & A this morning; generator fixed and with the sea temp in the Mediterranean cooler than in the Arabian Sea, we have full capacity again. By my calculation we may be into Messina a little bit ahead of schedule tomorrow. Pub lunch in the MDR today. A nice improvement, seven main course choices as well as all the starters & desserts. Nice outdoor weather today. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst some went on tours, naturally many wandered the town. Being a Saturday afternoon, I reckon 50% of the people I saw around town were from the ship. On previous occasions here I had always done tours. This time wandering up & down the hills, and then along the waterfront area, I was impressed by some of the sights to see here. Now on our way to Salerno. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People would have done all sorts of tours here. Just back from our Sorrento - Salerno Amalfi Coast drive. Being a Sunday it was extra busy, but it was still good to go back and find something new. We had a lovely long lunch in Amalfi. Up the old stone steps to the left of the Main Street into an alleyway parallel. A few restaurants along there, far quieter than the main walking street. Civitavecchia tomorrow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
