Homeward Bound

Posted on January 14, 2018June 30, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Well, this is the boring and depressing part of the holiday.  We got up at 7.00am and found ourselves right back where we started, in Abu Dhabi.  Out on the balcony we watched the red sun climbing in the sky, heralding the new day. We collected our bags, had a last look around cabin 6098…

The Delights of Dubai

Posted on January 13, 2018March 30, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up this morning feeling quite sad that this was our last day on board the good ship Constellation and we would be flying home tomorrow.  🙁 We went and had our breakfasts in the Ocean View buffet, then wandered out on deck.  We had a couple of hours to spare because we weren’t due to…

Go West

Posted on January 11, 2018March 30, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up around 8.00am and went to the Ocean View for our breakfast, choosing a table by the window so we could look out upon the Arabian Sea as we headed to Dubai.  It was quite disconcerting sitting where we were, because there were large, reinforced glass circular windows in the floor which, when you…

More Adventures in Mumbai

Posted on January 10, 2018March 30, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up around eight o’clock this morning, and went out on our balcony where the morning was already warm.  I didn’t fancy going to breakfast so Trevor just brought me back a cup of coffee and a small muffin which I ate in the cabin while getting ready. Around 9.30am, we disembarked the Constellation and…

Exploring Mumbai

Posted on January 9, 2018March 31, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) is India’s finance centre, the economic powerhouse of the nation, heart of the Hindi film industry and the industrial hub of everything from textiles to petrochemicals.  It is the glamour of the Bollywood cinema, cricket on the “maidans” (open grassed areas), outstanding colonial architecture and red double-decker buses.  We were…

Goa and the Kingfisher Brewery

Posted on January 8, 2018March 31, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Woke up around 7.30am to the sound of singing and music playing loudly, so even if we’d wanted a lie-in there was no chance of that! 😊  We went out onto the balcony and saw that we were moored up in Mormugao, and there was a large makeshift gateway/archway proclaiming “Goa Welcomes You” and a…

Going to Goa

Posted on January 7, 2018March 31, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up at 8.00am feeling a lot better, while still not 100%.  I was determined to make the most of it, however, and we went up to the Ocean View self-service cafeteria and I enjoyed a full English breakfast consisting of bacon, sausage, black pudding, mushrooms and beans, all washed down with a large glass…

Sailing the Arabian Sea

Posted on January 6, 2018March 31, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Woke up late this morning and once again I didn’t want to go to breakfast.  I still wasn’t feeling well but I have to shake this cold off come what may, certainly before we reach Goa, India, on Monday.  What made it seem even worse was that we’d had to advance our watches by an…

A Passage to India

Posted on January 5, 2018March 31, 2022 by bollingerbabe

As predicted, I didn’t feel well at all when I woke up this morning, with a thick head and a sore throat, so I decided not to go up for breakfast.  Instead, Trevor brought a cup of coffee back for me and I drank it sitting up in bed.  Then I shakily got washed and…

Oh, man! We’re in Oman

Posted on January 4, 2018March 31, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Had a bit of a lie-in this morning, until 8.00am in fact, because we weren’t due to arrive in Muscat, Oman until 12:00 noon. Oman would be our 83rd country visited.  😊 We went out onto our balcony and noticed that, despite a latitude that was only just outside the Tropics, it was cooler than…
