Mumbay India

India - Mumbay arrival on Easter Sunday. Just like any other day of the week!

Well hear we go! This was my first sight of this crazy city. The driving was a lot like other cities I have visited on the trip. Just get in and drive, hoping you don't hit some one, or thing in the street. Seems you pass all kinds of objects on the road. This is my driver for the day. He would stop off at his friend stores to try and sell me the likes of Rugs, Jewellery, and assorted trinkets. They never stop trying to pick your pocket.

More Pics coming! Sorry for the delay

I have had some tech. difficulities with my camera. Seems it had to be replaced. So I have not been able to set up the new one yet. I have a lot more pics to post. Next will be Mumbay India. Then Dubia. Just to let you all know I am not finished with this Travelogue.

The pics attached at of Cochin, India. Not the cleanest place I have been... With a country with over 1.12 Billion people living in this country, no wonder its so dirty. Wait till you see Bombay. Its even at a lower level of cleanest.

Next Dubia. Tonight is Dinner in the Desert..............

Crusing on the Ship!!!!

Public areas on Board the Odyssey

Cooking Demonstration took place in the Show lounge so all could see the secrets using overhead camera's to view from above. The rest of the pics show how they use natural light to bring the sun down 11 floors using the glass roof and glass staircase.

Now for the Bars and Clubs.

Pools & Spa Areas was well as great places to lay back!

The Marina-

Yes a built-in Marina that slides out fully automated and unfolds into a floating dock with a net that becomes the swimming pool. As well you can see the 3 Zodiacs with 90 hp runabouts, ocean kayak's, and small sail boats.

On Board the Seabourn Odyssey

I call this a working Breakfast on the veranda. That did not happen every morning but a few times I must say. The next is the main dinning room on the #4 deck where most evening dinners happened. Usually large tables of 8 or 10 people to get to know. These tables were hosted by guest lectures who were on board speaking on many topics. Senators, Retired VP of ABC News etc. My favorite lunch and dinner spot is the Deck 8 Colonnade. This is located aft and you have a choice of indoor, or outdoor tables. The outdoor tables fill the quickest. Deck 7 is called the Seabourn Square, a quiet place to read, use their computers, and of course have your favorate coffee or juice. The final pic is Deck 5 located just outdoors behind the Club, where there are 2 hot tubs and a swimming pool, with a great view of the swirling water the ship has turned up. The ship is so new that the crew have been finishing the teak in the outdoor areas. As you can see this area is only half completed in this photo. Today it has all been finished.

Some of the wonderfull things about the Odyssey

As this progressed, some things did not!. My camera decided not to function, and that has been the one I have used to load the Blog. So now I have a new camera, but have not been able to load the software on it as yet. So you won't get to see my pics of Mumbay until that happens. And wow are they Good. In the mean time, I have some pics of my home for that 43 days. Yes, on this lovely floating gourmet palace.
There is a 11,000 sq ft spa on the upper aft deck that has a staff of 20 to look after all your body needs. Private spa pool, treatment rooms etc.
