August 28, 2019 in the United Kingdom ⋅ ⛅ 19 °CWe arrived back in Dover early morning and after quite a long delay in disembarking because of a fault with the passenger walkway, we finally left the ship at about 9.30am. It had been a very good short trip, visiting two very interesting and beautiful places. The ship itself was comfortable but IRead more
August 27, 2019 in France ⋅ ⛅ 23 °CWe spent all day looking around this beautiful town, wandering as far as the beach and along the old harbour, stopping off for drinks and just relaxing. It really is a lovely place and what better to do than have a fish lunch in a restaurant overlooking the boats in the harbour.
August 26, 2019 in France ⋅ 🌙 16 °CWe left Rouen about midday and slowly cruised along the River Seine looking at the scenery and passing a number of small villages. The weather was still very warm and it was a nice experience to sit in the sun and watch the countryside pass by. Our second destination was Honfleur, a resort at theRead more
August 25, 2019 in France ⋅ ⛅ 29 °CWe spent a lot of the time revisiting places we saw yesterday but had a closer look at the clock tower and wandered further afield away from the old town but it really is the old parts that hold most of the attraction but we managed to stop several times for coffee and just people watched. The lastRead more
August 24, 2019 in France ⋅ ☁️ 27 °CWe had a very smooth crossing of the English Channel and, not surprisingly, a smooth journey up the river to the old city of Rouen, arriving there mid to late morning. We had travelled passed Rouen by car in the past many times but this was the first time that we were going to spend some time in theRead more
August 23, 2019 in the United Kingdom ⋅ ⛅ 21 °CWe arrived in Dover at 2pm, our allocated check in time for the Fred Olsen’s short cruise on ‘Boudicca’, a small ocean going ship carrying, on this occasion, just over 700 passengers and which was small enough to sail up the River Seine in France to Rouen, our destination, arriving thereRead more
February 27, 2019 in the United Kingdom ⋅ 🌙 0 °CShip crept in at about 4am and we got up at 6.45 for an early breakfast and, as luck would have it, an early get away. Had a fantastic time, a real adventure.
February 23, 2019 in Portugal ⋅ 🌧 14 °CWe left Bermuda in sunshine and warmth but had a very rough crossing to the Azores. A lot of crockery and bottles of alcohol have been broken in the storm. Wet and windy day in prospect but determined to see something of the town. Now been advised that because of the high winds the port has beenRead more
February 17, 2019 in Bermuda ⋅ ⛅ 22 °CGood journey from Bahamas to Bermuda. We have docked at the old Dockyard but as we are here for two nights, we are spending today exploring the island on public transport. Took the ferry to Hamilton and then the bus to St George, the former capital and UNESCO world heritage site. Lovely buildings.
World travelsGlad you had a better sailing to Bermuda. We were there a few years back, really liked it. Enjoy the rest of your cruise.
February 14, 2019 on the Bahamas ⋅ ☁️ 23 °CIt was quite a bumpy journey from Cozumel to the Bahamas due to strong winds and the Captain putting his foot down but now a pleasant day on the island. Temp near to 25, so not hot, but mainly sunny. We do not have long here so took a taxi to a pleasant mall close to the sea and enjoying theRead more
