Alright... sorry about the delay!

Soooo... We visited 2 new ports this cruise. Yalta and Odessa in the Ukraine. To be completely honest, both ports are extremely boring. The temperature is getting gradually lower around these parts of the world. The Caribbean is still a month and a half away. I'm starting to feel like I'm back home because yesterday the temperature was 11° celcius. That's cooold, all things considered.

I went out in Istanbul again, but for the first time not on a saturday. It was weird and there were a couple of guys that tried to convince us that we shouldn't go to the main shopping street because of a bomb threat. But basically they were full of shit. They said: "Come to china town with us" yeeeeeaaaaahhh.... riiiiiiiiight. As if there just happens to be a "china town" right down the street from Taksim square. Sorry, not buying it. So, there was no bomb, no cops, bunch of people so we decided we made a good call by not joining those guys (which would have been the smart thing to do; bomb or no bomb.)

Earlier that day I had some Turkish apple tea. Mmmmmmm.... I loooooove it. It's so tasty. We also had some Nargile (some call it Hooka, some call it Shisha). It's basically fruit tobacco smoked through a bong... I know what some of you are thinking, but it's perfectly legal and I would pass every single drug test after smoking that stuff.

Anyway... not much else to report on. I've stopped drinking every night after I got a girlfriend. I've become extremely boring and reclusive... hahahahahahaha.... as if that could happen. But I HAVE stopped drinking as much, but I still like to go down to the bar to get down and boogie.

Over and out,

Ellert.
