11th June Wyan Hair adds to misery


As if life wasn't bad enough for your avarage refugee / asylum seeker, things have just got a whole lot worse. 

Having fled from war torn regions of the world, endured months of hardship travelling in the back of lorries, spent weeks in temporary refugee camps and then been greeted by the welcoming face of Great Birtain, a giant image of Priti Patel projected onto the white cliffs of Dover, those seeking sanctuary have been informed that they are to be deported to Rwanda....by Wyan Hair

Unwilling to reveal his / her indentity, asylum seeker, An Oni Mus, spoke to Grace Under Pressure about this latest setback. "As if I haven't been through enough during the past few months since I left my home, now I am told I have to go to Rwanda by Wyan Hair. Have you experienced the check in queues, and how am I supposed to remember to have my 100ml of shampoo in a sealable see through plastic bag. And don't me started on the free micro hand luggage allowance or the eye waterting surcharges for bags going in the hold."

"Then there are the priority boarding fees which give you a 50/50 chance of actually having a seat, which given the leg room available in Crumple Class, might be less preferable than having to stand for the 8 hour flight. Factor in the cost of in flight food, entertainment and being able to use the toilet plus the garish uniforms that will make me wish I was blind and you can see why its all breaching my human rights. And to think some people actually choose to do this for fun!"

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...
