Pirates close to Home...
In April this year, the Italian Cruise ship Msc Melody was attacked by Somali pirates off the coast of Africa. Israeli security staff and passengers fought them off and were able to escape.
So why I am writing about this... well my neighbour across the road was on that cruise! Her Israeli houseguests who we became to know quite well have now left to go home via Thailand and have met up with her on the island of Ko Chang. They will then continue to Vietnam then Israel. Funny thing is that Deanna met Ilan on a cruise some 20 years ago when he was Israeli Security personnel.
