So no time for internet cafe I'm afraid, so I will need to leave the photo update to Acapulco, Mexico on Saturday. A great but busy day!!

So now for three days at sea - spent this afternoon sitting on the deck looking for flying fish, whales and dolphins... your snow (the Daily Mail had seven pages of it yesterday I see! We get the papers transmitted to us) looks amazing but with a blue sky, 26C and warm sunshine here it all seems a million miles away!!

Thanks for the messages - please feel free to send some more!!
