The new airline tickets arrived today for next week's trip. It's back to Kuwait-Dubai-Oman on this cycle and then I'll be done with the mid-east until the end of the year. I was reading the online edition of the Kuwait Times tonight and there was an editorial about "How Kuwait Touched my Heart." This nurse came to Kuwait to work in a clinic and talked about isolation and the internet (I could relate) and how there wasn't much to do there. Then she found seasons and flowers and warm sun could be charming. Turns out Kuwait was the first place she'd ever been outside of her home country of Bulgaria. Tough call. I've never been to Bulgaria but in a toss up, Kuwait's ocean and weather might come out on top.
Cruising the Danube
Life on the river often means spots where I can't get a good wifi connection so I'm a bit behind on blogging. I'm going to do this one fast and then get more detailed on the last two stops. I'm sailing with AMA Waterways and the ship is the AmaVerde as seen from the dock in Vidin. Usually I share a bigger cabin with a friend but for this trip we decided to splurge and get our own cabin. Here's my little home for the week. Most of Thursday was on the ship as we sailed from Bulgaria to Serbia. This lock is the second gate of the Iron Gates. Looking over at the dam on the river. View from my cabin. The water is just below the window. There are only three decks on this ship and I'm on Level 3.
