Sea Days

We had three consecutive sea days – AKA “Slow News Day”. And to compound the lack of photogenic activity, we had two days in Alexandria where we elected to stay on board and enjoy the almost empty ship. We had been here before, visited the pyramids and Luxor so decided that eight hours on a bus to revisit wasn’t worth it.

In an attempt to find material I collected some photos of food. Some of the photos look a little unusual colour wise due to the coloured lights in the different venues. I attempted to do colour correction as best I could.

The first series of photos are from a dinner in Solis, a mediterranean style restaurant and the only one that you need to make a reservation for because it can only seat around 40 people.

Homemade obster ravioli, roasted lobster, lobster emulsion and capers. Sadly I didn’t check the focus after the shot

Barolo bruised veal Osso buco confit with croquante sauce

Main course with sides – heirloom glazed Sicilian orange and rosemary, gratinated white asparagus with tangerine sauce and gratin dauphinois potatoes baked tin cream with fresh thyme

Sadly I didn’t get photos of desert – they were consumed when I wasn’t paying attention!

The next lot of photos are from the al fresco restaurant Earth and Ocean. This restaurant also has limited seating but you are unable to make a reservation. The weather is perfect of outdoor evening dining and it is our favourite place for dinner.
