Lunch in dining room on the Silver Sea SilverWind

Sun and Sushi Aboard the Silver Wind

Today was a restful day at sea and thanks to me no longer taking the malerone, I felt worlds better. The waves were higher than they ever had been, about 2m, so Dave was feeling a bit sea sick and got some pills down in the shop. Laying down seemed to improve things so we […]

Sick in India (but not from India)

Sometimes things don’t go as planned when traveling.  Sickness can not be avoided, and often times the medication or vaccines that we take to help prevent sickness are the things that end up making us ill!  Malaria is no joke and malarone is a great medication for many people…but, it turns out, not for me.

Taj Mahal & Delhi, India

Today started with a grand attempt to see the sunrise over the Taj Mahal. Now, we are south of the Taj, so that’s not really possible, but the idea of seeing the Taj in orange sunrise seemed appealing enough to warrant a 7am alarm. That wasn’t really the case. It was absolutely freezing and the […]

Taj Mahal from Our Window

Well, this was an annoying day up until our arrival in Agra, so I wont dwell too much on all of the negatives that finally gave way to our romantic vacation within a vacation.

Sailing to India on the Silver Wind

These days sailing to India…I was going to write about each day separately, but honestly these days smooshed together. We slept a lot both days, that is for sure. We did other things too, like played Scrabble, played trivia with our old British team and we ate a lot. Meals included pizza and Indian food […]

Muscat, Oman: Home of the 2nd Largest Carpet in the World

Oman! A brand new country not counting yesterday and a chance to explore an interesting city. Dave was all “get up get up get up” at some unreasonable hour so I got ready and made it off the boat by 9am, just in time to catch the shuttle to the city center. Our first order […]

The Fjords of Oman

Our first port of call was Fujairah in the UAE. Dave and I had researched this area and there seemed to be literally nothing going on. The ship had a great excursion that actually bypassed Fujairah altogether and took us to Oman for the day on a dhow to see the fjords, which was thrilling […]
