Ship cruise is fun for a couple of days, not sure I would enjoy longer before starting to get cabin fever.
How ideas have changed with showcasing art onboard, novel way to enjoy seeing art from around the world. Entertainment always available to keep you occupied.
Art by Slava Ilyayev would have captured my eye, so good to hear you are comfortably back home, thanks for sharing your experience.
Oh, Joan! @joanstewart Thank you for stopping by and saying hello! I always look forward to your comments, as you know, they are meaningful and a joy to read.
The big ships are really a little city, aren't they? I would have to say that it is a good way to unwind and just be. Then again, boy!!! Can they be a hotbed of illness, close quarters and so many people. Yikes!
I actually have three Ilyayev paintings that I had bought some years ago (at different times and when he wasn't popular by any means) I was interested to see how they auctioned off, just to gauge if I had made a wise choice or not. I guess beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. They did well, but, even if they hadn't, I still would have been happy with mine.
I am glad to be home, especially with all going on and I will be here for the next little while! Thank you again, so very much and I hope you have a most wonderful weekend!
#MarketFriday loves you!

Ilyayev paintings come to life with different light falling on them, the vibrant warm colours he tends to use are eye-catching, I don't think anyone can go wrong buying one to enjoy, I have only ever seen them online never up on a wall.
Modern ships look like floating hotels, very top heavy I would hate to be in rough seas on one of them. Did a coastal trip from Durban to Cape Town on the old Union-Castle Liners originally named Transvaal Castle renamed SA Vaal, pop riveted sturdy boats that stopped running in 1977.
Three nights and four days was enough to have loads of fun, entertainment, grand elaborate meals and dance the night away. One of these days I must start my memoirs over the years.
Nothing like home, your own bed, family and pets surrounding one, have a wonderful new week.
