We ate at the bar.Mrsdron had an coughtail of the day whilst I had a local beer.

She had a pasta carbonara.

Whilst I had a spicy beef soup.Boy was it spicy.

The pickled cucumber was great at settling the heat.
Sorry.Resizing didn't work this time.

As we left the bar we noticed the sunset.

@drron ,

The air around the airport seems murky?. Was that pollution? Or just a quirk due to the window or lighting

 

[drron]

Fairly typical Asian pollution.

Native photos from a phone, and more so from a camera, can make posts slow to load if there are a lot of photos and comms are slow. It's becomes really hard on in-flight WiFi. I lament that AFF doesn't have the option, at least on an iPhone, where you can choose actual, large, medium or low size when emailing photos. It makes it so much faster to choose, say, medium resolution.

On the road, I upload direct from my iPhone but most of my TR photos are from my camera and about twice the size of phone photos. In that case I do the TR in Word and use the Snipping Tool to massively shrink the size of the photos and they load in a flash.

I think @drron puts his photos through a picture-editing tool that shrinks them because his posts load quickly.

I'm a phone only poster. Just another reason to stay away from cruisers

Indeed.. I am sure that you would feel really out of place ; even the best ships cannot provide your customary level of accomodation, and the people..Oh my.. almost anyone can buy a cruise ticket …..you might find yourself sharing space with very common humans.. good call stay away….

I’m not exactly sure what your point is? I use both camera and phone and transfer photos from camera to phone and post on AFF and FB from there. And I love cruises because I’ve been on one or two...DrRon uses a mix, and he also cruises.

Jeez, lighten up, it was a joke..... touchy!!! Ron rattled my chain over snails / Paris - I'm rattling his. I'm sure they can handle some humour. I'm not some stranger punching a keyboard.... I actually know them

 

[tgh]

I actually know them

Yes I assumed that , and my response was not intended to be taken literally.. touchy is as touchy does..
Ordinary folks reading the thread who do enjoy cruising may have missed the humorous intent.
No wish to mess up the TR so this is my last word on the subject...

Fortunately both our chains are fairly long so a little rattling has no significant effect.

So back on track.The menus-
..

..

..

..

.

 

[drron]

And wine list.
..

..

..

..

..

 

[drron]

So on to the actual food.First the salami quiche.Not much salami but that was probably a good thing.
..

And the caviar.
..

.
We both had the foie gras next.
.
Then the asparagus soup and palate cleansing sherbet.
..
Mrsdrron had the chicken and I had the beef.
..

 

[drron]

The beef was really good and came as ordered.
..

Then I had the cheese plate and mrsdrron the fruit.
..
I had the Tokaj with the cheese.
.

Then the pre landing snack.Mrsdrron just had the caprese which was beautifully presented whilst I had the short rib-more than a snack.
..
We both had the dessert.
.

All in all pretty decent food.

You certainly went well beyond that, not sure why you did?

Your narky post - takes all the fun out of being an AFF member ... happy cruising!

In respect to the rons.... I'll vacate the space and thread.

 

[JohnM]

Errr, sorry to butt in, but which wines did you try @drron?

 

[drron]

Boy I am getting old.Fancy forgetting the wines.
The Champagne was the Rothschilds.
Whites-I had a glas of the Chateau Latour and MrsD naturally the Sav blanc.
Red-I had the Chateau Fleur Cardinale.As it was so good I didn't try the others.
As stated also a glass of the Hungarian Tokaj.
