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!

Boudicca Norway February 2012: Chasing the Lights
http://norwaywinter.blogspot.com/2012/03/chasing-lights.html
Boudicca Norway February 2012. Saturday, March 3, 2012. Eventually back on the coach our, now wiser, guide shouted (buses don't have PA systems) “I bet you've been wondering how we drive on ice” I didn't argue but I'll bet I wasn't the only one who, as we thundered along at 60mph on narrow ice roads with periodic sheer drops, had been trying very hard.

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 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 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
http://auroravenice.blogspot.com/2011/10/sunday-23-rd-october-cloudy-all-day.html
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
http://auroravenice.blogspot.com/2011/10/wet-in-venice.html
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.

Boudicca Norway February 2012: Janet Catches a Troll
http://norwaywinter.blogspot.com/2012/03/janet-catches-troll.html
Boudicca Norway February 2012. Tuesday, March 6, 2012. Janet Catches a Troll. This picture of Janet evicting a Norwegian Troll from our bedroom is dedicated to Alison. If you think there's something fishy about the photograph, I'm afraid you're right. If you look carefully you will see the distinctive wall panelling of P&O's Arcadia in the background. Janet actually caught a Troll on last year's trip to Norway but we didn't blog about it because we thought no one would believe us. March 6, 2012 at 5:04 AM.

Cruising the Norwegian Fjords on P&O's Arcadia: Overcast with fog banks !
http://arcadiandiaries.blogspot.com/2011/07/overcast-with-fog-banks.html
Cruising the Norwegian Fjords on P&Os Arcadia. 21st July 2011 to 4th August 2011. Saturday, July 30, 2011. Overcast with fog banks! Bringing you up to date with our life on board. We settled into a relaxed routine quite quickly with plenty of reading and a little deck walking from time to time. The weather is not fantastic and the sun cream remains unused, but brave souls that we are we do manage to get out on the balcony - sometimes with a duvet wrapped around us! Dave and I were brave enough to go swim...

Cruising the Norwegian Fjords on P&O's Arcadia: July 2011
http://arcadiandiaries.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Cruising the Norwegian Fjords on P&Os Arcadia. 21st July 2011 to 4th August 2011. Sunday, July 31, 2011. After laying out breakfast our butler drew the curtains so that we could start the day without any manual labour. Sitting up in bed the view through the patio windows was like Lanzarote in winter. The town of NY Alesund consisted mainly of wooden huts scattered across a rocky outcrop and what we saw didn't really seem worth the journey. Since leaving Trondheim we had steamed (or dieseled? Ports of cal...
