Hi all
I was on the Uganda in 1978 I think - I was 13
Flew on a dc10 laker airways to Naples - went to Pompeii
Was meat to sail to Egypt but in force 11 gales so had to divert but we got to Israel - went to Jerusalem - which I remember so well, Bethlehem, Dead Sea and had a swim and to an orange grove where we all stuffed ourselves
The to Cyprus where we visited the Roman stir at pathos
Then we wen to Kotor --- went up to a giant amphitheater over looking the bay and looking down on Uganda - the most exciting thing was having to get to the shore by tender
Then to Venice st marks square glass blowing factory
I was in Stanhope
Food was dreadful - cabins sparse - and loud music every morning - but often think about poor old Uganda
Had my first encounter with an older guy (he was 15) which set my path for future years ..... I wonder what happened to him and if he lived the gay life too?
Still got my badge from Stanhope and lots of photos
Very sad end to the Uganda's life - she made so many happy memories for so many people
Happy days - 38 years ago
