Comfort food at its best

I would love to travel and try different foods, see different sights, etc. But since I can't, I have been living vicariously through your blog posts!
Aren't you afraid of pirates at all or have you even heard any experiences regarding that from others? Do you have any game plan in case something bad would happen on the sea?
Merry Christmas to You!
It just occurred to me that Alex looks a bit like Prince Haakon of Norway - do You agree?
