Travel Blogging II

Random thoughts from the Bay of Bengal: When we set out to book this trip it never occurred to us that it was a trip quite literally around the world, in just over thirty days. We'd covered most of the globe before but never did the proverbial circumnavigation. What a hoot!

Our next port is Colombo, Sri Lanka, which is the island formerly known as Ceylon. This, is one of those places I never thought I'd visit. Sri Lanka/Ceylon is a storied part of the legendary British Empire, how appropriate we sail in the Legend of the Seas.

About this ship, it's old but an elegant design, particularly its public spaces. The two story main dining room is particularly attractive. I also like the main theater. The "old" becomes obvious in lack of cabin amenities. Ours, for example, lacks a refrigerator - no place to put it.
