life of a cruise ship nurse: split, croatia

the ship is in split, croatia today, but i am on first call so i will not be getting off the ship.  so, on my break, i took a tour of the bridge.  i love going to the bridge. i can never get enough of it. it has the best views on the whole ship.

all this equipment. how do they keep it straight??

i am driving the ship. don't worry, i'm a doctor ;)

me laughing at the chief officer as he is taking my picture. he was telling me to be serious. not so easy to do when you are "driving the ship"

views of split, croatia from the bridge

the bow of the ship. 
the most ironic thing about the day, is that since i was on 1st call i was not going to get off the ship.  however, we had a patient that needed to be emergently disembarked right before we were going to leave the port.  so, they lowered a tender and i was able to go over to split with the patient.  so, i was able to go to split after all.  my only regret? i forgot my camera! but, when we came back to the ship, we were lifted up in the tender to the 3rd deck.  i was cracking up because there were passengers everywhere video taping and taking photos of the entire event. oh how people love a good intrigue.

this is part of the medical team heading to eat together at the tamarind. the tamarind is only my absolute favorite place to eat while on the ship. best chicken pho soup!
