    Persephone Cabaret Show

    4. maj, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ 🌬 64 °F

    Best dance ,singing aerobics show I've seen on any cruise ship yet. The whole audience on the main floor was standing tight to the stages and the performance was moving around and over the audience for the whole show.Læs mere

    Funchal Maderia Island

    5. maj, Portugal ⋅ 🌧 61 °F

    This city reminded me a lot of San Francisco. It’s weather and Hills creating clouds and rain patterns that were unique. We got off the ship and spent the day exploring on foot and on the hop on hop off bus the good way to get around to see a lot of things at one time. It also rained and the bus kept us relatively dry.Læs mere

    Madeira wine

    5. maj, Portugal ⋅ 🌧 61 °F

    For a rock in the Atlantic Ocean it’s remarkable that they could get enough land together to grow enough grapes to make any volume of wine and yet here we were having a wine tasting. There’s a special technique in the production of Madeira wine, making it sweeter than traditional California wine, and almost a syrup like a port. Of course they start with completely different grapes so that has an effect on the flavors. We purchased a 2007 vintage in 2007 is the year. It was placed in cask. It was bottled in 2026 so yes, it definitely has an oak caramel flavor.Læs mere

    Casablanca, Morocco

    7. maj, Marokko ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F

    This is our second time in Morocco our second time in North Africa, but our first time in Casablanca. I have some preconceived notions of what Casablanca looks like. I’ll be curious to see how those hold up with reality.Læs mere

    Pam’s Mosque Photos

    7. maj, Marokko ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F

    The third largest mosque in the world, behind Mecca and Medina. This mosque is most interesting, when the King of Morocco built it in under six years, his intention was to evolve Casablanca’s tourist experience. As such this mosque is open for tours for both men and women, and although modest clothing is recommended hair covering is not required. These are some of my views from our tour.Læs mere

    It’s lunchtime in Morocco

    7. maj, Marokko ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

    This was the restaurant that our guide recommended for today. Everything was incredibly tasty. I had the tangin chicken and Marc had the pastry chicken. Both lunches came with a very fresh Mediterranean salad. Marc had water and I had Coke. The grand total for our lunch was under $25 US. I don’t know if that was expensive for Morocco, but it felt very inexpensive to us and it was very yummy.Læs mere

    Casablanca

    7. maj, Marokko ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

    So far, Casablanca is not what I expected. I thought it would be more rustic or romantic or more like a movie set and in reality, it seemed to be modern vibrant and a little bit crazy. Also, every vehicle uses its horn all the time which adds to the frantic feel of the place. It’s one of those countries were a driver just moves forward. If you hesitate someone will honk. If you let someone in someone will honk. The key is no eye contact be aggressive and just go. It’s also OK to double or triple Park for pedestrians to cross anywhere they please, and talking to each other through the car window is acceptable. Suffice it to say I will never drive my own car in Casablanca.Læs mere

    Sailing past Gibraltar

    8. maj, Gibraltar ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F

    Today was my first daylight sailing through Gibraltar straight. Sea was calm and no cloud on the famous rock. Lots of ship traffic and a surprisingly large number of dolphins.

    Alicante walking in the rain

    9. maj, Spanien ⋅ 🌧 61 °F

    Rain! Thunder! Lightning!
    Not the best weather condition to walk about a new city. Yet, I'm looking for adventure. So i walked around an ancient mountain castle despite the weather.

    Yes, I circled the mountain. No, I did not climb the stairs to the top and explore the castle ruins - I'm not that adventurous today. Maybe next time?Læs mere

    Museum of archaeology

    9. maj, Spanien ⋅ 🌧 61 °F

    MARQ. An interesting name for an interesting archaeological museum although it had been open for 10 years it still felt as though it was under construction, but maybe that was just the rotation of exhibit and we were there at an off time. Archaeological evidence point to a native people in the area who used stones and developed an agrarian lifestyle. Later, the Romans brought their influence with construction of fortresses then of course the Spanish brought their own influences. No matter the cultural influence, the city was always Ocean based as such, marine, archaeology has exposed many different types of ships found in the bottom of the bay.

    I thought the museum did a really good job of presenting the different evolutions of people. Sadly, very little of it was in English and they didn’t even have an audio guide to make up the difference. It’s not that I expect every museum to include English in it written displays, but I do think the potential for creating an audio supplement was missed in this museum.    Læs mere

    Crossed the Atlantic Again

    10. maj, Alboran Sea ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F

    After 15 days, we arrived in Barcelona. Once again, we’ve proven that a positioning cruise is an interesting way to make the leap from the US into Europe.

    Some observations on this Virgin-Atlantic Cruise.

    They didn’t do a great job of daily events. Some of our other long ocean crossing cruises have included many many more things to do throughout the day. Virgin seemed to lack that.

    They had a lot of food choices a taco bar, a burger, bar, a pizza bar noodles, a Panini machine along with sitdown restaurants, including Steaks, Korean barbecue, Italian and Chinese. And nicely all of these restaurants are included in the cruise fare.

    Because we were with a group, we also had a huge $600 bar tab that we didn’t even pay for. We didn’t drink all of the tab proving to ourselves that any cruise drinks package will never make sense for us. I think we’ll just buy it drink by drink as we go.

    One of the things that made this Cruise interesting is that we met up with 130 other “ Friends” from our Go With Less Facebook group. Just being with them filled in a lot of our daytime. Particularly for Marc, who made several gaming friends.

    We’ve also reinforced that 10 days at sea is about as long as we would like to go without a port stop, something to keep in mind for our next trips

    And so now we start our next “ season” in Europe. Beginning with a month-long stay in Barcelona and in mid August and September a month long Canal boat rental in England. There’s space in between for some impromptu tours. At this point we don’t even know what that means or what that looks like but the adventure of filling it in should be fun.

    It’s already mid May 2026, and the start of our third year of international nomad life.    Læs mere
