When we were in Cannes on our last cruise, we were excited to see this ship again! it is so distinctive with lips and eyes and so on.

I have been doing some searching through all the discs and so on of photos, to find all the copies of Bill's photos for his new laptop.

I came across four or five things that were of interest to me, my own stuff, so put them in a file on my external hard drive and called it work in progress. When I dipped into it, I found the photos from the last Marco Polo cruise that we were on, the Mediterranean cruise that had so many Australian and New Zealanders on board. I didn't use Picassa at that time, so I had a ball, going through all the photos and remembering things as each photo went up on the screen.

When I came to this photo, I was cropping and so on and suddenly noticed that the name of the ship was different! The one at Cannes was called the AIDA diva, and to my surprise this one was the AIDA aura ! I had always thought that such an outrageous design for a ship would be a one off, didn't even consider the possibility of it being the regular livery for a whole fleet ! Well, I was wrong, and I am going to look up the internet so see what other beauties they have in their fleet.

Hope you like this photo, unlike Cannes, we were able to get really close up, and all we did was complain that we couldn't get a shot of the whole ship!
