Cruises X2 and Paris and London

We'll be cruising from Barcelona to Venice then flying to Paris for four days. Next we "chunnel" to London and after four days there board another ship in Southampton and travel to Ft Lauderdale. I will report on the "antics and adventures"!

Ponta Delgada, Azores – October 31, 2014



Happy Halloween!  The ship is decorated with spiders and spiderwebs!  They really get into this holiday and it takes a lot of work to put up decorations for just one day and I admire them for doing it.

I bought light up necklaces for Betty and me to wear to dinner and, of course, mine didn’t work!  Oh, well, they were 2 for $5 so no big deal!  I’ll just fly down to dinner on my broom instead. J

The sail in this morning was very nice and just as we docked the sun came out and it was a really nice day.  We walked off the ship about 10:30am and just spent a couple of hours wandering around the town.  It’s quaint and charming and every street downtown is cobbled in different designs.  The day was warm and the town was full of cruise passengers!

We had a late lunch and enjoyed our balcony for the afternoon.  I did manage to get a load of laundry done since most of the passengers were off on tours!

Speaking of tours, Betty and Don went to the interior of the island and enjoyed it very much.  They benefitted from a cloudless day to see all the green on this island.  Found out that every animal and plant on this island was “imported”!  It’s a volcanic group of nine islands.

Trivia this afternoon was a mess with a “Halloween” trivia.  Did you know that pumpkin is a fruit?  Well, now you do!

We now have four full days at sea before we arrive in Bermuda.  The Captain announced this evening that we’ll have calm seas tonight and tomorrow.  That’s always nice to hear.

I’m thinking about all my dear “trick or treaters” in Clayton today getting ready for their evening of fun!  Good thing Halloween is on a Friday this year so those pesky bedtimes won’t shorten the evening!  The Commodore and I haven’t missed that fun in 15 years!!  I’m missing you all!

Posting early tonight but if there’s news I’ll add an update!!
XOXOXO

  1. Can't even imagine importing every plant an animal. And, choosing which ones to import. The complexities!
