Another country and another great tour except for the large first step into and out of the coach. Thankfully in air conditioning all day as temperature was over 40 degs.

Closed restaurants
This seemed to be the common lift sign
Back to slow Internet in the cruise terminal, post postcards, dinner and an early night.

Many potholes on the way (some small with the occasional big one) but this is view from balcony at 2pm and the seas appear to be getting smoother as we hug the Indian coastline more than planned avoiding 5 metre + waves (we hope) in the Arabian Sea..
First night of inside cabin experience (balcony locked curtains closed) so pirates cannot see us??
Calm seas this morning so Anne has a lot of catch up walking to do
Calm seas and Wheelchair free
