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.

Making a purchase

Street scenes in Cochin ( Kochi)

Street scenes from Kochi India

This vendor was one of many Indian's selling their wares. This man had model Tuk Tuk Taxi cabs. Just what I would need! The next man was finishing taking a bath in the temple waters. I will tell you the colour of that water was darker than his skin. Oh well he is now all cleaned up. The entrance to the temple had this colourful gable over the entrance. And another street scene of Tuk Tuk's motoring down the many twisty turnie streets. A look at our ship over the rooftop building in this city. We are saling at 5 pm so its time to get back on board and tomorrow is another day at sea, then Bombay or Mumbia.

View from the roof top of a

This view is from the top of a store that sold carpets, jewellery,& silks. The temp was 93 degrees and muggy. The bldg was air conditioned.

Chinese fishing nets line the entrance to the harbour

These fixed, cantilevered structures suspended over the sea and operated from the shore by teams of up to six men. They are fascinating to watch; counterbalanced by stones attached with ropes, the fisherman walk along the beam causing the net to dip into the sea, and after a few minutes it is hauled up. You can buy fish from the catch and have them cook it nearby in street stalls
