As we sailed in, I sat and watched as first the industrial area went by, some lovely houses with fishing vessels and then the new city at a distance. Rather than dock at the city proper, we docked at one of the outer islands.

Looking out the starboard side at the dock, there were buses galore, industrial port and a line of vendors under white opened sided tents. Mentally I placed “go out and look at the vendors” somewhere above cutting toenails and below eating off ship. That is – not really high on my to-do list. There is a synagogue in the area and that would have been a nice visit. But given the population density and my current vulnerability to infectious disease I labeled the idea as not worth doing.
Instead, I had a lovely time chatting with various people and enjoying another supper delivered by room service –
just the right amount
Of course, the nagging to return landing cards started about 1900 when they announced they needed them ALL back. Even if you never bothered to get off ship. And here I thought it was going to be my souvenir of India….

Tomorrow we are back at sea for a day of peace, quite and a bridge tour. Why not? Last opportunity on this ship….
It looks lovely there. Those soft bluegreens…
the colors were lovely, the light filtered through all the …..smog….. which meant I was fine as long as I wasn’t interested in breathing!
Holly I am so glad to be reading that you are taking it easy and getting some rest on this cruise, just keep taking it slow, you are too fantastic to let anything hold you down!!
I will admit it is quite nice being spoiled….
