Hi Donna: So glad you went to Kyoto - it's my favourite Japanese city. I desperately wanted Betty to see it but couldn't organise anything within the timetable Regent had set. Did you see Kyoto railway station and did you get to travel by bullet train? Enjoy the rest of your cruise - I hated leaving but must say, I'm also glad to be home. No doubt that will wear off in a day or so!

Knew it!! The dining room staff promised to give me the muslei recipe and something else I've now forgotten. They were no doubt hoping I'd forget to chase it up on the last day. For all you guys coming on board soon, could at least one of you chase it up for Ms Merlot? Ta in advance.
