My cousin Eleonora who lives just outside of Amsterdam had booked herself on a cruise from Beijing to Singapore. Not terribly fond of travelling alone, she joined a Dutch group. It turned out that there were 11 couples in the group plus Eleonora. She then booked a balcony suite for herself to make for a more pleasant journey.
A few weeks before departure she mentioned that she was going on this trip. I had just returned from South Africa and showed all symptoms of Malaria. Going through a series of tests for the next few weeks, cleared me of this. Feeling much better, and at the last minute, I decide to join her.
We had a fabulous three weeks and I returned to places I had been in my younger years and it brought back fond memories. It also took me to places I had not seen but had a desire to visit.
Beside the travels, we had time for daily Cappuccino-fuelled chats catching up with the present and the past. That took us to happy hour and then we chatted some more.
