Heading for Istanbul

We have 2 days at sea before we get to Istanbul. The weather is cooler today, (but not as cold as at home), so fewer people on the sun loungers soaking up the sun.

I attended two of the lectures, “the Disaster at Gallipoli” and the Tower of London, past, present and future. The first one was very sobering, but the second was most amusing at times!! The 3pm daily knit and natter is a must to catch up on the ship’s gossip (for confirmation of what is true or false).

There is an extensive library on board which is on two floors connected by a spiral staircase and decorated with stained glass panels.


I forgot to add the picture of Queen Mary 2 on here sail by yesterday, so have added it in extras today.
