Boarding the Ship - then on to Port Blair in the Andaman Islands

We made the ship  - on the second attempt for the tender from Galle Harbour, after the Captain had changed the mooring and swung the ship, we made it. The first time the swell was about 3 to 4 feet, and we broke a mooring rope. Luggage got delivered later, after the had winched up the launch.

All very professionally done. I can quite see why the shore tours had been cancelled.

We then unpacked all the tacky souvenirs that we had picked up in India, and went and had chips and unhealthy food (no curry!) in the Palms Restaurant.

Had dinner and caught up on the gossip. Then an early night, next stop is Port Blair in the Andaman Islands, but we have two sea days to chill!
