Tune in here to see just what is going on in the crazy hazy World of Podge and Tubbs. It's all harmless, but if you feel it isn't please, please let them know. If however you [like] their posts then please do click the [Like] button :-)
Again, what does one do on a Cruise Ship on yet another sea day? Well, one can take part in so many arranged activities taking place all around the ship from Deck 5 all the way up to Deck 16. That just isn’t our bag so, as usual on a sea day, we just chillaxed taking in the suns rays and drinking lots and lots of water (to start with). Today was however supposed to be different: Today we would be doing a [slow cruise by] of Dominica.
Here was to be yet more stories of our adventures of Podge (His Podgeness) & Tubbs (The Duchess) as they continued to cruise the Seven Sea and yes, we do know there actually more than seven seas (see endnote). But, as we entered into 2021, Covid was still prevalent and getting back on cruise ships still seemed beyond the proverbial horizon. Or, was it?
Today was another day when we were to be made to feel very special, recognised and appreciated. Today, once more, we were invited to senior officers lunch with the odd drink or two, or three, or four 🥴. After which, once more, both Podge and Tubbs needed a bit of a lie down afterwards.
Until I mentioned it, The Duchess had never heard of the existence of Pink Dolphins and no matter how much I tried to persuade her, she would have none of it. So, all I could do was to book a cruise that would take us from Barbados down to the mouth of the Amazon and then upstream all the way to Manaus (The capital of the vast state of Amazonas), a distance of about 1000 kilometres. While there we would embark on an excursion to a jungle lodge then known as Ariau Towers ( no longer operating 😦 ).
