If you want to take a peep anytime to see where in the world I am, go to Marine Traffic and type MSC Alessia into the "Go to vessel" box on left.

On the other hand, every "off the wall" idea (live with ten people recently released from prison, anyone?) has always turned out to be bloody brilliant!

...and sadness to leave many good friends, old and new
