2017 Travels with Gerri - Various Things


Our Silversea Spirit ship


Dinner at the Grill on the pool deck overlooking the Atlantic. We cook our meat and prawns on a hot stone at the table so it splashy and they give us bibs.


Tarek our butler, bringing breakfast on our veranda.

Tarek is from Alexandria Egypt and he has a two-year-old daughter and a wife. They Skype every day. The tour is for nine months on the ship then they go home for two months and come back if they want another tour. They live on the third level, we are on the sixth, with one roommate, they have no porthole. There are activities designed for the crew plus they have a crew bar, a crew dining room and a crew gym. The service staff in the main dining rooms are Filipino, but others are international, anyway the crew is a mixed bag of nationalities here. My super nice and so super accommodating.


We toured the local French food market with Chef while he picked things to prepare for a cocktail hour that evening. Everything looked so fresh and chemical free! Some of the sites below.





This was a cobbler with the cream they serve that we had for lunch in Saint Malo (San Ma-loo)


Art at lunch in one of many cafes in St Malo.


This morning we toured the English Channel Islands, this one was Guernsey, super charming! Was a German stronghold in the war.


Currently we are sailing the English channel on our way to Rouen. Tomorrow we tour the Normandy Beaches.
