4th March Bridge bidding begins

With news that Roman Abramovich is putting Chelsea Football club up for a quick sale, the hot gossip from the street of Peckam Market is that a couple of local lads are already eyeing up a tasty bid for 'the Bridge' in an attempt to increase their trading portfolio.

Soon to appear in the Fortune 500, if you beleive a word spoken by CEO of the company, Trotters Independent Traders of Hookey Street, who made their current fortune from half priced cracked ice, mies and miles of carpet tiles,TVs, deep freeze, David Bowie LPs, ball games, gold chains, what's names, pictures frames, leather good and Trevor Francis tracksuits, are now looking to add some serious silverware to their little empire.

Whether the deal will actually happen remains a mystery as it is rumoured that the company run by Derek Edward Trotter, his brother Rodney and their Uncle Albert has according to the financial obmudsman paid no income tax, no VAT, offered no money back or guarantee. No doubt all the haggling, dodging and diving is about to kick off real soon. Kushti!

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...
