Day 7 - In open sea
17 oktober 2024, North Pacific Ocean ⋅ 🌬 50 °F
It's quite choppy this morning. We're back in the Pacific time zone and heading South. We'll be at sea all day, but I believe we'll tuck into the inner passage when we get to Vancouver Island.

Day 7 - Nobody is using the pool
17 oktober 2024, North Pacific Ocean ⋅ 🌬 52 °F
Wandering around the ship. Nobody is using the pool today for some reason. 🤔
I'm glad I have my cabin balcony as refuge, though it's really just the horizon to see today. I went up to the bridgeLäs mer
Day 7 - Today's winner?
17 oktober 2024, North Pacific Ocean ⋅ ☁️ 52 °F
Today's winner, by default, as it is the only entry. It's actually a different face than yesterday.
Day 8 - Still in open seas
18 oktober 2024, North Pacific Ocean ⋅ 🌧 50 °F
It is mind-blowingly boring at this point. We're definitely paying a price for our missed a port at the start of the trip. Still 7 hours to go before we dock in Victoria, and then it will already beLäs mer
Day 8 - Land Ahoy!

Day 8 - It's a small world
18 oktober 2024, Kanada ⋅ 🌧 50 °F
I went to Minature World of course, as it's the greatest little show on Earth. It was actually brilliant. Clearly a work of love.
So it's an endless set of Minature Dioramas with exquisite detail.
ResenärThe first picture made me uncomfortable, thenI saw a swastika and understood why...
ResenärWe have some museums making miniatures like this, but mostly about great patriotic war (WW2) as it impacted every family here in Russia. It's interesting to look at it from aside
ResenärThis is my first time to visit one. It actually had a lot more... Space, circus, fairytales, cities, and so on.
ResenärNice. Always interesting to see the little world. Feels like being a Gulliver 😁

Day 8 - British Columbia's Parliament
18 oktober 2024, Kanada ⋅ 🌧 52 °F
The capital of British Columbia is in Victoria. There are 3,333 lights on the building, which is the same number of jewels on Queen Victoria's Crown. I guess it's Charles' now.
Day 9 - Seattle once more

Back where it started, more or less. We came into pier 91, not 66.

Back in Santa Rosa
19 oktober 2024, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F
Just got my bags, but one has been destroyed. Sigh!
It's brand new, but it had two of its wheels broken off.
ResenärI see that FindPenguins isn't showing a US or Canadian flag for this footprint. We must be in international waters.
