It’s 4.30 am at home so I can’t talk to the troops. I won’t stay awake too much longer so I will have to try and visit tomorrow morning my time. 

 I’ve been away from home for 12 days and it seems like a lifetime, but I have another 80 days to go and I do admit, it takes a bit of staminar.

 After a very slow start with the internet at my new hotel, they kindly gave me an internet extension port and now I’m able to send photos and my scribe quite quickly so that helps with communication. As you can imagine it was really difficult to get internet on the ship, its very  slow and costs a fortune.
