Balmoral Cruise to Montreal September 2009: Wednesday, 30th September 2009
http://balmoral2009.blogspot.com/2009/10/wednesday-30th-september-2009.html
Balmoral Cruise to Montreal September 2009. Thursday, October 1, 2009. Wednesday, 30th September 2009. Ponta Delgarda, Azores. Janet said I have to write something true and sensible about Ponta Delgarda so this is as close as it gets. After a beer we went back to the ship for a rest with the intention of returning in the early evening, but it rained again. Then the sun came out and then it rained again. Nice place, funny climate. October 1, 2009 at 2:47 PM. Dave I am so proud of you going for a dip!

Cruising the Norwegian Fjords on P&O's Arcadia: August 2011
http://arcadiandiaries.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Cruising the Norwegian Fjords on P&Os Arcadia. 21st July 2011 to 4th August 2011. Wednesday, August 3, 2011. As we've still got a bit of internet time left I thought I'd post this team photo of our sailaway party at Eidfjord. You're allowed to take your own wine aboard P&O although we did rather follow the letter instead of the spirit of this rule. Unless we can manage to drink a litre each before dinner tonight it looks like we'll be bringing some wine boxes home. The Norwegian Language – Part 2. The en...

Cruising on Fred Olsen's Braemar, October 2010: Our Cabin
http://braemar2010.blogspot.com/2010/10/our-cabin.html
Cruising on Fred Olsen's Braemar, October 2010. Janet, Dave, Harold, Julie and Dave are sailing from Dover to Madeira, La Palma, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Lisbon. Tuesday, October 12, 2010. Our cabin is posh in an Ikea sort of way. It has a door bell which is considered to be quite a status symbol on a cruise ship. Our living area isn’t as large as the doorbell suggests mainly because of the naval architect’s bathroom fetish. It’s enormous (for a cruise ship) and has two wash basins! The self...

Cruising on Fred Olsen's Braemar, October 2010: Lisbon – 15th October 2010

Cruising on Fred Olsen's Braemar, October 2010. Janet, Dave, Harold, Julie and Dave are sailing from Dover to Madeira, La Palma, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Lisbon. Sunday, October 17, 2010. Lisbon – 15th October 2010. Dave and I had been looking forward to our last port of call, Lisbon, as we wanted to visit the Museum of Art and Antiquities to see the Hieronymus Bosch painting, The Temptation of St Anthony. Eventually we concluded that Braemar was berthed. In an entirely different dock! Some ...

Cruising the Norwegian Fjords on P&O's Arcadia: The Norwegian Language
http://arcadiandiaries.blogspot.com/2011/07/norwegian-language.html
Cruising the Norwegian Fjords on P&Os Arcadia. 21st July 2011 to 4th August 2011. Wednesday, July 27, 2011. As you will know a lot of Vikings used to spend their holidays in England and many of their words found their way into our language. Obviously, the usage and meaning of these words changed subtly over time. For example it is hard to see how this sign could be translated literally even in a country that keeps its doors and windows closed for most of the year. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Cruising on Fred Olsen's Braemar, October 2010: The Journey
http://braemar2010.blogspot.com/2010/10/journey.html
Cruising on Fred Olsen's Braemar, October 2010. Janet, Dave, Harold, Julie and Dave are sailing from Dover to Madeira, La Palma, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Lisbon. Sunday, October 10, 2010. Janet’s phone alarm woke us at 4.50am. Mine, set for the first time on my new phone, remained silent. There can only be one moron in the whole wide world who thinks that setting an alarm not. To wake you is a pretty neat idea. I guess he works for Nokia. 8220;THEY'RE IN THE SAFE” she yelled followed b...

Cruising the Norwegian Fjords on P&O's Arcadia: Eidfjord - 2nd August 2011
http://arcadiandiaries.blogspot.com/2011/08/eidfjord-2nd-august-2011.html
Cruising the Norwegian Fjords on P&Os Arcadia. 21st July 2011 to 4th August 2011. Tuesday, August 2, 2011. Eidfjord - 2nd August 2011. Sunny intervals, with puffy white clouds, just the sort of weather we'd hoped for as we started our adventure nearly two weeks ago. Right, it's the last formal night tonight and Dave is stewing in the bath. I don't know if anyone else will get round to blogging again, especially as Julie's last one cost her over £12.00! August 3, 2011 at 2:12 PM. 2014 Aurora to istanbul.

Aurora to Venice 2011

Aurora to Venice 2011. Janet, Dave, Julie, Dave and Harold are off again, this time sailing on Aurora from Southampton to Venice and back. Sunday, October 23, 2011. Cloudy all day yesterday, so the ship (octopus) building commenced in our cabin. We arrived in Corfu early this morning. It's cold and raining, so not sure whether we'll get off the ship. It may just be a day in which to catch up on the reading, eating and drinking! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Links to our other blog sites.

Aurora to Venice 2011: Wet in Venice

Aurora to Venice 2011. Janet, Dave, Julie, Dave and Harold are off again, this time sailing on Aurora from Southampton to Venice and back. Thursday, October 27, 2011. Did the artist offer a replacement service and if you used your own fish would it become a forgery? All Canova had to do was to design an angel that is so beautiful it makes people want to cry. Modern art is much more complicated. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Links to our other blog sites. 2014 Aurora to Istanbul and beyond.
