We’ve been well and truly tangoed!

Last night’s tango was completely unexpected in terms of what we got: a keyboard player and an accordionist provided the dramatic music while our main man was a Latin singer of considerable presence and gusto and with an amazing voice. Considering he had no English, he commanded the full to busting theatre - 600 capacity, so nearly half the ship. He sang beautiful songs in Spanish and from time to time, dancers floated on stage to do their tango thing. Utterly stunning and captivating, the evening was over in a flash. Unfortunately, where we were sitting was not optimal for photos, so you'll need to imagine it! (The headline photo is from the Spinoglio Winery.)

Another certificate, Sindhu celebration and a slow Montevideo walk

We had been instructed by Janice, our delightful server in The Glass House that we must call by for a drink before we went to Sindhu, so she could see my dress. We got chatting, as we have each time we’ve seen her, and I enquired about her name. She certainly doesn’t look like a Janice. She laughed and said that when she was born, her dad had been watching a film with a Janice in it and that, as they say, is history. Feeling it wise to stick with the pop, we continued our celebrations with a lovely glass of Taittinger. 

Where is Aurora now?

Here's what's hot at the moment
