Henry said I was blogging too much about our Peru trip and he wanted to write something about the last cruise we went on. So here is it:
We’ve been on a number of cruises together now and I’m happy to report that they are getting more enjoyable each time. Don’t get me wrong, I have loved each one, but you learn about what you like and where you like when you’ve been on a few cruises and now we can pick from experience.
We had been around the Mediterranean and even cruised around Scandinavia a bit, but this time we fancied the Indian Ocean. We had not really seen very much of that part of the world and a friend had recommended it. Plus we enjoyed the heat of the Med and this promised to be similar (Scandinavia was not so comfortable, although exceptionally stunning). We also decided to spoil ourselves a little and booked one of WSC’s luxury cruises, with a little financial help from Jamie’s parents I have to add.
We actually set off from Cape Town in South Africa, which is a stunning place to visit in itself and somewhere we will return do soon. From there we headed off around the Indian Ocean and stopped off at places including Madagascar, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand. I won’t go into detail about each as they could make up 20 separate blogs posts themselves, but I will say that it was a cruise that I will never forgot. The service was like nothing we have every experienced and the food...OMG it was good. We also saw an amazing amount of wildlife from the boat, which was an added bonus.
We have to thank Jamie’s parents for helping us get away and see such a beautiful part of the world...we have promised to repay the gesture soon.
