Spines
Well the big news story so far, is that I didn't have a bruised foot from the sea kayaking. The pain in my left foot got progressively worse, and close examination yesterday afternoon suggested that I had an infection or a splinter rather than the assumed bruised foot. I popped down to the Medical Centre on Deck 4 and explained my predicament, including that if it was a splinter, then I don't know where on earth it came from. It turned out that a sea urchin had stabbed me, twice. And yes it was infected. So more antibiotics for me. Antibiotics that is after the aforementioned sea urchin spines were dug out of my foot with a rather big needle. The only good thing about this storyboard, is that the digging about happened after our homage to the Godfather excursion in Sicily. We had a fabulous time and fully enjoyed the panorama, the relaxation, and the warm welcome of the locals that included setting of flares to announce our arrival. It was great to wander the streets of two villages where the Godfather films were set. To see the tavern where the self imposed exiled future Godfather sits with his minders, to see the wedding square, and the church. It was a great excursion, and one that was only slightly bettered by the previous day's visit to a Monastery and Winery in Corfu.
