Cruises

The Hamburg years were punctuated by amazing cruises on which L and I, together or individually, would perform a 50-minute set once and then sit back and have a few weeks' paid holiday. In that time, either together or alone, we covered more countries than I can actually remember. I noted them all down and it's about ninety: all around the Mediterranean, Scandinavia, Acapulco to Sydney through the South Pacific; Peru to Cap Verde via the northern latino nations and the Caribbean, the Red Sea; Hong Kong to Singapore via Japan, Shanghai, the Philippines, Celebes, Bali and Malaysia etc. A wonderful time. L had done the dirty on me before I joined her in Hong Kong (she'd been on the ship with our friend Klaus a full month before I arrived) but every subsequent cruise I did alone I paid her back. These episodes will merit a few posts on their own, but there's time for all that. My favourite was a particularly intense couple of weeks I spent with IH, a German crew member, who was probably the most intensely stimulating and sexually provocative lady I'd ever had the good fortune to be naked with. More on that, later.
