Aboard the Noordam

Monday

The internet on board this ship is satellite and I cannot upload photos and the first blog I wrote also failed. So things do not look good. I will make this one shorter and save it before I try sending.

We arrived yesterday a 1PM in the rain from Rome. After going through the boarding process had our first taste of cruise food (all that people say) and then unpacked about 3:30...Somehow probably with security cameras Charlotte's pearls hidden in sock got removed. she was upset but there is nothing we can do about it as jewelry is not covered about $100.

We explored the ship, ate dinner at 8PM caught a small show at the theater, found the casinio and I tried my hand at poker (did all right)..Got to bed at 11:30.

Sun woke me at 6:30 PM and I was on the observation deck as we past by the volcantic island of Stromboli. At 9:30 we went through the straits of Messina between Italy and Sicily on about 1.9 miles wide. In the Odyesey there were plenty of problems but we had none.

Charlotte went to a review of the first 3 ports of call while I got this blog going.

It did not go well with no pictures and no transmission of the first attempt.....sorry.

Today is a sea day and tomorrow Croatia.
