26th June More omnipresent than God


It's official, or at least as official as Grace Under Pressure ever gets. Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl is now more omnipresent than God. Following the three days of the Glastonbury festival during which time period Grohl appeared to more people in more places than Jesus did post resurrection, fans of grunge rock have elevated him from the status of rock god to fully divine being

Not content with disappointing hundereds of fans of The Churnups, who had arrived at Glasto in the hope of seeing their idols, Grohl having stolen a headline set with his own band, then proceeded to appear alongside The Pretenders and Guns n Roses. And then just to rumbber stamp his omnipresent nature miraculously appeared on a GW train too. One which actually ran on time as if further proof of his divine powers were needed

Everywhere people looked there he was, or at least that was the rumour circulating Worthy Farm. People were convinced he had been part of Lizzo's backing dancers whilst others swore blind the reason Lana Del Ray was delayed for her set was due to chatting with Dave Grohl, rather than being unable to do her hair in 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...
