Hello, it's that man again.

I awoke at 0200h thinking that it was time to get up, then saw my watch and was happy to see that I didn't, the next thing I recall is Dorothy waking me up, I had slept through the room service delivery, vey unusual for me.

We arrived at Ste Pierre at 01000h and it was a beautiful day, the best they said so far this year, we had the choice of walking the 2 miles into town or use the ships tender. We walked in and took the tender back to the ship. It is one of the few vestiges of Colonial France, they use the Euro and a phone call to France is a local call. Al Capone used to run his alcohol business from here during the prohibition, there is a hat that supposedly belonged to him on display, we didn't see it though.

Tomorrow "Tuesday" we call into St. Johns, Newfoundland, we have a tour booked that takes us to cape spear where the first ever telephone call was made from North America to England by Marconi I do believe.

The computer course I've been taking has my head in a whirl, I've been out of the class room for far too long. I do hope that the satellite reception won't be as bad as they say, but if so, you'll know I'm not ignoring you.

Ciao for now

Tony
