27th January Just shake it off and stop acting like Gorrilaz


Peacekeeping forces around the world have been put on full alert in an attempt to soothe rising tensions as two major super powers prepare for what could be an all out war (of words). This conflict has come as a surprise to many who do not have their finger on the pulse of contemporary culture, but insider sources speaking exclusivly to Grace Under Pressure have revealed it was just a matter of time.

With one side acting like Gorillaz and the other refusing to just 'shake it off',  each is trying to stake a claim in the others territory. The red side has a reputation for being a lover that has gone down in folklore, even if much of it has been re recorded over time. Quite fearless, its big machine hasn't felt this threatened since 1989. The other firmly believes that modern life is rubbish and goes by in a blur. It has developed a think tank and a magic whip to try and instill a simple park life in its 13 regions. This will be known as The Great Escape.

And let's be honest who cares about Partygate or Russia and the Ukraine when Taylor Swift and Damon Albarn are about to kick off big time.

  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

Image
 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...
