Wordless Wednesday

 During our cruise in October we would go to the Concierge Lounge every evening to catch up with friends. It was for suites only, so never got crowded.


Me centre back and Ivor on my right. The Captain's wife who we have become good friends with over the years is second on my left.


It was our 54th wedding anniversary while we were onboard and we found our room had been decorated.


I hope the video will play.

Wordless Wednesday


 


I took very few photos in Livorno and many had too many cars and coaches etc. in them so I used the best of a bad lot.
When we boarded the ship and I was unpacking, I realised I had forgotten both of our deodorants and my perfume. It was a quick trip to the shop as soon as we set sail, but the bonus was I got a new bottle of perfume (Dior, J'adore l'or.). We made a trip into the main shopping area of Livorno because I figured the deodorant had to be cheaper than the one I had bought on the ship, which it was!

Wordless Wednesday.

 Last week you had a sunrise which I am not usually up in time for. This week is something more normal for me and is sunset.


First a lovely day at sea.


Passing through the straits of Gibraltar.


And the sunset.


A clear sky with the moon visible.

Wordless Wednesday

 I love to get photos of sunsets but am never up early enough to get a sunrise! Well, that all changed during this cruise. These photos were taken at sea in the Mediterranean over five minutes.





Of course I have some sunsets for later.

Wordless Wednesday, Marseille.

Marseille Cathedral (Cathédrale de la Major)

 
Janus the bear, designed by Jayet, has two faces just like his Roman god namesake. At 5 metres tall he is believed to be the largest bear in the world.

We got back on Sunday after a lovely cruise in the Mediterranean.

Wordless Wednesday - Stuck!

 

South Queensferry for Edinburgh. When we took our tender ashore we saw that a previous one had got stuck on a mud bank and another one was trying to pull it free. They were there for over an hour so I am very glad we hadn't gone ashore a few minutes earlier.

The Forth Rail Bridge which was opened in 1890. Our ship is just visible behind it. This is my last post for 2 or 3 weeks. Hopefully I will have some new photos when I get back.
