Friday
Dear Elsie
Today was the last sea day for the moment. Last night we had a lovely dinner and then afterwards came back to the cabin and had quite a long chat with David. We had a video call and I took the phone out to the balcony to show him the sea. As I did so we saw two fishing boats really close by and it looked like one of them had caught a fish that was thrashing around in the water. It was dark, so the glimpse was from the light of the moving ship. It was quite a sight, albeit fleeting.
Right now we are just off Tunisia
Straight line for Palermo.
We passed the Galite islands (there are 6), which are uninhabited and belong to Tunisia. Tourists find pleasure in visiting them, camping on the solitary beaches, enjoying unparalleled star gazing and making the most of the islands’ diving and snorkelling spots.
And I’d never heard of them, but they would be an amazing place to visit.
It was a slow start today. We had a late breakfast. This is my regular morning fare…
I did a couple of hours work, walked on the deck and chilled on the balcony..
It was a good last sea day on the MSC Magnifica where we’ve had a magnificent time. Tomorrow Palermo, Sunday disembark at the port closest to Rome and to the airport for a late afternoon flight to Istanbul. The next adventure begins.
We all need this…
Psalm 103:2-5
Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
