Checking in but nothing to write about. Work has kept me busy and I seem to have less downtime in Bahrain than in Kuwait. We're trying to cram in more work here because we're bringing in people from other countries to meet with us. Since I can't go to Saudi Arabia, the Saudi guys are here. Last night they told me about the zoo in Riyadh. It turns out that when the zoo is open, women are only allowed to go one day a week. The rest of the week, only men. Families cannot go together. It is either men or women but never mixed except for small children. On women's day at the zoo, all the monkeys have to wear pampers. Go figure.
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.
Pampers? You're kidding right?
