Is One Leg Shorter Than the Other????....

We told you we were on the boat! Well, a little bit about the boat.  We have been on three of the Regent boats.  Had terrific times!  The rooms were spacious, walk in closets, large bathrooms, balconies, living areas along with bedrooms areas with king size beds.  This boat is different.  The rooms are adequate -- long and narrow as you expect on most cruise ships.  We do have a small walk-in closet.  And they were able to squeeze in a shower and tub, but it is a squeeze!!  And we have a small balcony. BUT... the ship is in a permanent list.  What I mean is: it is at a 15% angle --- permanently.  So you walk tilted, you sleep tilted, you sit tilted, you eat tilted.  And you chug and chug and chug when the boat is moving.

Here’s why... the frame of the ship was built by the Italians for the Soviets and it was meant to be a freighter.  But...at the last minute the Soviets refused to buy it, so it was sold to a cruise ship operator and they built the hotel part on top of the freighter.  We were warned on a previous cruise about the list.  Well, it really does do that! And, since we are not on land a whole lot, we are crooked most of the time!  Eerie feeling.

I’m not sure if that is the reason, but yesterday, shortly after the ship began moving again, I got sick and started throwing up with diarrhea.  Bos says it is food poisoning, from the hot dogs we had for lunch.  But HE was not sick!  So he bought me seasickness wristbands and they or SOMETHING worked and I feel great today...

Yesterday was Bulgaria...today is Romania.  Most of the people went to Bucharest, which is a 3 hour ride to and a 3 hour ride back from.  Too long Bos maintained.  So I will let you know what WE did soon...
