Voyage to the Eastern Mediterranean

Once again the lure of Cunard's Queen Elizabeth has been strong and we are booked on a voyage billed as 'Greek Isles and Ancient Wonders' which embarks from Athens on 12 October. It promises to be a very busy trip with only one full sea day amongst the 12 night voyage, thus your intrepid correspondent's bulletins may well be brief and sporadic. However, with suitcases packed and bulging with clothing for all weathers and all occasions we are looking forward to exploring the charms of several Greek Islands,  historical Dubrovnik, the maze of canals in Venice, noting the mix of eastern and western cultures in Istanbul, and no doubt, observing the clash of British and American cultures aboard the ship.
