  1. Bougainvillea lined streets, Epidaurus close by, plenty of little cafes and tavernas and a jolly nice place to boot. Oh and perfect weather.
  2. good morning dear twitteratti from possibly the nicest little Greek tucked away port there is in my most humble opinion. Nafplion.
  3. @Matrium_Sports he will indeed. See you onboard.
  4. @World_Cruiser say Hi to Capt Hamish or Karlo for me Randy. Enjoy the Hanseatic Capitals. Simply magnificent.
  5. need a better camera. My attempts to get the church on 'film' are failing miserably from the anchorage. Might need to take a tender later.
  6. Cloudy and a little damp here at Pylos anchorage today. The church on the hill with is bright silver dome is shining through the murk.
  7. Argostoli, Cephalonia today. Its a warm and humid day here. Anchored next to Costa Classica. Quiet onboard as most guests are ashore.
  8. stunning day here in Corfu. Just right to get the paint brushes out and make this lovely girl shine. Most beautiful ship in the harbour.
  9. @PaulRutters @VikingRec @SeabournCruise Nice!
  10. Back to one of my all time favourites, Kotor, Montenegro. Morning drizzle has gone. Sun is pushing through. Fjord is stunning.
  11. anchored off old Sibenik town. Typical Croatian coastal town with a magnificent old church and fort. Delightful. twitter.com/captaindexter/…
  12. Americas Cup regatta in Venice today. Did not realise how huge those boats are. Perfect day for messing about in boats I would imagine.
  13. left Venice for Sibenik in Croatia. Beautiful sail away. Nice calm evening here on the North Adriatic and a good forecast for tomorrow.
  14. @Coalboat we are 600' and 25000hp and can carry 800 people. Its all the same principles really although mine is probably easier to manoeuvre
  15. @Coalboat I enjoy your tweets. your vessel is a little different to mine and I hope we can talk boats one day when I am in the area. Mark.
  16. ship looks great in the afternoon sunshine. Crew really gave me a nice welcome back. Time for a walk around to say hello to my guests.
  17. joined the ship in Venice. Its a lovely day. guests coming up the gangway now and we should be off to Croatia in around 2 hours.
  18. as you can see, my two fingered typing has not improved one iota since I last tweeted. But you get the gist.
  19. sat in Dubai airport. The new terminal is lovely but a pity were were dumped 20 mins bus ride away as there were no spaces for us. oops!!
  20. It is a little strange to think I wont be joining a ship from Christchurch again. Looking forward to another chapter back in England.
