16th May A vision at Eurovision


64 yr old Spencer Sinclair, who had previously never shown any interest at all in the Eurovision song contest and who once described all the contestants as 'camp as Christmas' had a sudden Damascus Rd experience on Saturday night after viewing the Spanish entry. Several times over with frequent use of the pause button.

Speaking to Grace Under Pressure, Mr Sinclair revealed that he had used up his entire monthly TalkTalk data allowance trying to ensure that Spain received as many votes as possible in order to ensure a repeat live performance.

"It was a song that captured the essence of Spain, sunshine, sangria, paella, the civil war, football, conquistadors, bull fighting and the siesta. It was a beautiful medatative reflection on the true nature of the Iberian peninsular, a melancholy masterpiece. "

"I know I should have voted for Ukraine like everyone else or even for the British entry but there was just something about the Spansh song that moved parts of me that hadn't been moved in a very long time."

Mrs Sinclair on the other hand revealed that she was just grateful that her husband hadn't had a stroke such was the state of excitement that Chanel's 'Sio Mo' number had generated. "He's asked me if I could get a pair of those pants but to be honest I don't think my a%$e would look quite the same."

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

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...
