Egypt!! woohoo :-)

Hi all, well we made it, 30 hrs travelling then onto our ship, least to say we were knackered!!. We spent the first day or 2 getting used to the ship, where our cabin, lab and shop is as well as everything else and doing our safety meetings, for those that don’t know safety is a big issue for us crew on board ships as we have to be ready for anything at anytime. K, so after 2 days our ship pulled into Port Said Egypt. We were able to go and photograph the tour which took us to a Mosque, Cairo, cruising up the river nile, and the Sphinx and Pyramids. I have to say it was probably one of the most mind blowing days I’ve ever had!. Zoe fulfilled her dream of riding a camel as you can see, she scored! Some people got charged $40 for a 5 min ride, hers was 5usd !! I think the boys liked her ☺. So we are in Jordon today then over night in Egypt tomorrow then we head off to Africa. We will be sailing through some of the most treacherous waters in the world for piracy, so we have a full ship of security at the moment, these guys are awesome, theyre either extreme servicemen from India or from the Philippine Police force, so yeah, we’re kinda feeling pretty safe right now ☺. Well got to go and get breakfast and get ready for work, etc. Gotta say beforte I go though, were really settling in on here well, this ship has the nicest crew I have ever come across while on ships, theres a good homely feel here which isn’t on all ships, looks like our time is going to be a good one ☺.
