15th December Everyone left red nosed by criminal decision

In a dramatic legal judgement that has sent shock waves racing around the courts of justice,  8 reindeer were today released having been found not guilty of bully one of their herd

In a welcome reprieve to Santa’s delivery schedule, the eight accused, who can finally be named after reporting restrictions were lifted. were released after a jury took only 35 mins to reach its unanimous conclusion.  Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen were accused of affecting Rudolph's mental health and well being by 'laughing and calling him names as well as not letting him join in with any reindeer games'. 

The jury however found no evidence and simply offered Rudolph the advice that he should try 'growing a pair' instead of whining and snivelling, which is what many thought had caused his red nose in the first place

Rudolph tried to claim that there was in fact 'another reindeer', who was the leadeer of this unceasing torment, known by the pseudonyms of Olav or Olive. Producing a scratchy vinyl recording Rudolph attempted to offer proof of this 'other reindeers' existance as he made the jury listen to a quite catchy litte dittie that he was convinced contained the line 'Olav / Olive, the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names.

Have a listen to the song and judge for yourself.

6th May Olbia

  A chance to stretch our legs today with our first port of call; Olbia, Sardinia. And it was a quick stretch too due to it being only a five hour stay. Up bright and early, so early in fact that the hot food at the buffet wasn't even ready to be served. Still it gave us a chance to watch the ship glide into port past a host of oyster/mussel beds, before performing a 180 degree turn to reverse into it's berth. A couple of short bus rides later and we were in downtown Olbia. But there an hour or so before anything appeared to open, the disadvantage of being early birds and something we don't seem to learn! Not that Olbia had a great deal to see or maybe if we had done the slightest bit of planning beforehand there might have benn but we didn't. It was pleasant enough but that's about it. It was pleasant enough but nothing special, indeed we were back on the ship after just a couple of hours ashore and then managed to sleep away most of th...

7th May Naples

 I'm sure I've heard the phrase 'see Naples and die' suggesting that it is perhaps not the nicest location in the Mediterranean but if it's good enough for Diego Maradona fir a few years then it's good enough for me for 10 hours. Although the millions of tax free pounds he was paid might have eased his stay. By the time we got up, washed, dressed and up to The Kitchens, the rest of the ship were already there. Compared to the Marie Celeste of yesterday it was absolutely packed, presumably with people having breakfast before heading out on 8am excursions, our excursion was simply going to be the city of Naples itself as possible trips to Vesuvius, Pompei or the Amalfi coast would have been too much / tired.  So on a day when the weather initially seemed uncertain, we jumped aboard route A for the Hop on Hop off bus and headed out into the mayhem that is the Napoli traffic where it was every van, car and scooter for the selves. I think it's bes...
