Contact me if you are keen on freighter travel and i can put you onto namesake.There is a range of european/med/south america and africa trips with grimaldi and there are also a number of lines operating out of nz as well who take passengers .There is also a line which doesnt actually call here but can be joined in singapore...they do heavy lift jobs which means they are normally in port for a number of days as the type of cargo they carry is big stuff that takes a longer time to unload....they do a circuit right round the world stopping at multiple ports and the average length of voyage is 4and half months.....remember that if you want to track a ship go to www.marinetraffic.com for vessel type in grande ellade for example and you can see where she is , what course she is on etc plus all the data on her and there are about 70 something photos of her as well

Well the weather has been a lot drier down here than it was in britain with only one wet day sofar and this is start of week 4 back at work.
As a follow up to the trip , kate sent an email to the company who ran the endless bus tours in seoul as good old yours truley had kept their brochure as part of my memorabilia , which had the address on it......and bugger me but someone had handed in her camera......that was the easy bit!!....getting it back has proven difficultr to say the least and has involved trading heaps of emails.....basically they cant just post it as we wanted as they are not allowed to post anything that contains lithium batteries and they couldnt send it with a courier company as you ahve to be registered customer as well as fronting up about $50.....so in the end we resolved for them to mail the card out of it which we just received this week and they will hang onto the camera and send it with somebody from the company who is coming over here on holiday some time......but that is ok as getting card back was main thing.......a good lesson to remember to back up camera card onto netbook every other night !!
