<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">This cruise was just what we
needed.<span> </span>While our previous two cruises to
Africa and South America were wonderful and visited much more exotic places than the Voyage of the
Vikings Cruise, they also presented many more challenges.<span> </span>There was the unrelenting heat and humidity,
unstable governments, dangerous ports and other uncertainties that we faced on
those cruises.<span> </span>That’s not to say that we
didn’t enjoy those cruises, we loved them and visited many interesting and
unforgettable places and wouldn’t trade those experiences for anything, but
they were very stressful, and that’s why I said this cruise was just what we
needed; a chance to relax a little.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">The most stressful thing about
this cruise was getting to and from Boston.<span> Once we were on the ship w</span>e didn’t have to worry about customs and immigration at the ports, we
weren’t warned about dangerous situations in any of the ports and felt very
safe everywhere we went.<span> </span>Most of the
places we visited were small towns and villages with only Rotterdam and perhaps
Belfast being the only large cities.<span>
</span>Also, despite the fact that we had a lot of cool and, at times, rainy
weather, it was a welcome respite from the heat and humidity of Africa and
South America.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">This was the first time we have
taken a cruise that we have taken before, and we wondered whether we would be
disappointed and it wouldn't live up to our memories, but that didn’t happen.<span> </span>We
did visit six ports we hadn’t been to before and enjoyed revisiting the ports
we had been to previously.<span> </span>We love
visiting Iceland and Greenland and wish we could spend more time there.<span> </span>The Shetland Island and the Isle of Lewis
were very pleasant surprises, and we really enjoyed our visits there.<span> </span>And even though we have been through Prince
Christian Sound four times now, we never tire of it.<span> </span>Its dramatic and pristine beauty makes it the
most beautiful place we have ever seen.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">As far as future travels, I’m
not sure right now as we have only one thing planned.<span> </span>We keep talking about a road trip, but things
keep coming up and postpone any planning for that.<span> </span>I have also started looking at river cruises,
but nothing definite there either.<span> </span>I don’t
know, I guess we’re slowing down a bit in our old age.<span> </span>The one thing we do have planned is a 28-day
Alaskan cruise next June that is a roundtrip out of Seattle.<span> </span>It visits most of the usual Alaskan cruise
ports, but it also goes all the way up to Nome while crossing the Arctic
Circle.<span> </span>We also visit Kodiak Island, Dutch
Harbor (in the Aleutian Islands), and several other lesser visited places.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">That’s it for now and we’ll see you on down the road.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Today is going to be a very
long day for us and neither of us slept very well last night so the day didn’t
start off too well.<span> </span>We got up at 7:00 AM
and after getting ready, had our last meal in the Neptune Lounge.<span> </span>Instead of going through customs in the terminal,
we are going to do a face-to-face meeting with customs in the World Stage on the ship.<span> </span>This was great news as the terminal in Boston
is a bit small and on our last visit in 2016, it was very hectic and crowded.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">We had previously filled out a questionnaire
on flight times and then the ship sent out a debarkation instruction sheet assigning
group designations based on the time you needed to get off the ship to catch your flight home.<span> </span>People who carried their own luggage off the
ship were in the first group followed by those with early flights.<span> </span>We didn’t have an early flight, but we had
signed up for an airport transfer that included a tour of Boston to help us
kill some time, so we were in one of the early groups; the fifth group to
leave.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Each group was first called called first to
the immigration meeting and again when they could get off the ship.<span> </span>We were called just before eight for the
immigration meeting and made our way to the World Stage for that.<span> </span>It was very well organized, and we were
quickly done and then returned to our room to wait to be called for our
debarkation.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">While we waited, our room
stewards, Mus and Annus, stopped by to say goodbye and we had a nice chat with
them.<span> </span>They were some of the best room
stewards we have had and did an excellent job.<span>
</span>Our group was finally called to debark, and we made our way to the
gangway and off the ship.<span> </span>This was also
well organized and instead of the usual mass of people trying to get off, it
was an orderly process, and we were quickly off the ship.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Once in the terminal we had to
find our luggage, which took a while as there was a lot of luggage to look
through.<span> </span>We finally found our luggage and a
porter to help us carry it out.<span> </span>Two of
our bags would be shipped via <a href="https://www.luggageforward.com/?adw=GPRNTCMWQ77P&gad=1" target="_blank">Luggage Forward</a> so we found the representative
just outside the terminal door and turned over those bags to him, and then made
our way to the bus for our tour / airport transfer and, hopefully, our last bus ride
for a while.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Our tour of Boston was supposed
to leave at 8:30, but things are never on time on debarkation day, so we didn’t
actually get going until a little after nine.<span>
</span>The first stop on our tour was right back where our trip started in
Boston, the Copely Square Fairmont Hotel and Trinity Church.<span> </span>This was mostly a bathroom break as the hotel
doesn’t mind tourists using their bathrooms.<span>
</span>Val and I mostly just stretched our legs a little bit as we had spent a
lot of time here already.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">The rest of the tour was from
the bus and while much of it we had seen, it was still interesting.<span> </span>One thing new to us was a drive through
Cambridge and Harvard, which is a very nice and historic area.<span> </span>We also drove by MIT, but it wasn’t nearly as
impressive as Harvard.<span> </span>Our guide was
very good and a longtime resident of the area.<span>
</span>He was a true New Englander and had many interesting facts and stories
about the area and some personal stories about his own experience growing up here.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">We completed our tour and then the bus drove on to the airport.<span> </span>One
disappointing thing about Boston Logan Airport was that when it was originally
built, they didn’t make enough clearance at most of the terminals for buses to
drop people off, so we were dropped off at the only terminal that did allow
buses.<span> </span>There is a shuttle service that
runs between terminals, but the buses were full and there were a lot of people
waiting for the shuttle.<span> </span>Several buses
saying "drop off only" passed us by and people were starting to get impatient and
angry.<span> </span>Val and I had plenty of time, so
we were prepared to just wait it out, but when one of the drop off only
shuttles stopped somebody started loudly complaining and the very nice driver
said for everyone to get on and he even helped with loading the luggage.<span> </span>It was a little crowded, but Val and I were
just going to the next stop so there was no problem for us.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">We got into the terminal and
found the American Airlines check-in and found that because we were flying
first class, there was a special line with no waiting.<span> </span>That and with our PSA Precheck, we breezed
through check-in and security and were at the gate area before noon.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Our flight didn’t leave until
4:50 PM so we had an almost five-hour wait.<span>
</span>Val and I had anticipated this and cashed in some of our American
Airlines Advantage miles for one day passes to their Admiral’s Lounge.<span> </span>The Admiral’s Lounge is a place out of the
main terminal for people in the higher echelons of the Advantage program and for
first class passengers who are flying internationally.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">It was well worth it, and I
would absolutely do it again if we had a long wait for our flight.<span> </span>It was a very big room with comfortable
seating including desks if you have work to do.<span>
</span>There are ceiling to floor windows lining two sides of it looking out on
the tarmac and the nearby gate and other activities.<span> </span>Best of all, there was food and drink
available at no cost.<span> </span>There was quite a
variety of food and what we sampled was very good.<span> </span>There were also very clean restrooms with even
showers available if needed.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">When we arrived, there weren’t
many people there and we found some nice, comfortable seats by the windows
where we could see flights arriving and departing.<span> </span>All the seats also had electrical outlets and
USB ports for phone and computer use.<span> </span>It
was a long wait, but this made it tolerable and even enjoyable.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">When it got near boarding time
for our flight, we made the short walk to our gate and within fifteen minutes,
we were on the plane.<span> </span>The pilot warned
us that there would be turbulence, but it turned out to be a very smooth
flight.<span> </span>We arrived in Phoenix right on
time, but we had only an hour before we boarded our connecting flight to San
Luis Obispo.<span> </span>Another advantage of first-class
seating, you’re not only the first ones on the plane, you’re the first ones off,
which was important as our departure gate was quite a ways from our arrival
gate.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">As soon as we got off the plane,
we made the long walk as quickly as possible and arrived with plenty of time to
spare.<span> </span>The flight to San Luis Obispo was
fairly short and we even arrived ten minutes early.<span> </span>Our friend Doug was picking us up and by the
time we got our luggage from baggage claim, he was out at the curb waiting for
us.<span> </span>Thanks again Doug, we really
appreciated it especially since you had to drive down from Atascadero and it
was after 10:00 PM.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">It was a little after eleven by
the time we got home, and Val and I were very tired.<span> </span>We had gotten up this morning at 4:00 AM
Pacific time so we had been up for eighteen hours, and we were ready for some
sleep.<span> </span>After getting a few necessities
out of our bags, we called it a night and slept in our own bed for the first
time in almost six weeks.<span> </span>Travel is
great, but it always feels good to get home.</span></span></p>

Day 35<br /></span></b></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">Friday, August 25, 2023</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Today we are sailing from back
to Boston where it all started five weeks ago.<span>
</span>The good weather of yesterday was long behind us, and the skies were
dark and cloudy.<span> </span>Everything looked a
little eerie outside as the ocean was very calm and the light clouds reflecting
on the water made everything seem a bit surreal.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">With another extra hour of
sleep last night, we got up a little after eight and after getting ready, had
breakfast in the Neptune Lounge.<span> </span>We said
goodbye to the Neptune Lounge Concierge, Alexa, as we might not see her
tomorrow in the hustle and bustle of debarkation.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">We returned to the room and
started packing in earnest until our room stewards showed up to clean our
room.<span> </span>Instead of waiting in the Neptune Lounge
as we usually do, we decided to head down to the casino to make up for last
night.<span> </span>I actually had some luck for a
change this morning and came back with more than I started with, but Val had no
luck.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">We continued our packing and by
lunchtime we had most everything packed up.<span>
</span>We had an appointment with the future cruise consultant to look into a
Panama Canal cruise so before lunch we went down and met with her.<span> The consultant said there were no future cruises</span> like what we were looking
for, so it was a waste of time, and we didn’t spend much time there and went
straight to lunch.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">It was after one when we got to
the Lido, but it was still very busy, and we had a hard time finding a table; I
guess everyone is eating late today.<span> </span>Our
lunch wasn’t great as the ship seem to be running low on some of the food, but
it filled us up.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">After lunch, I sat down and
updated the blog for the last time until we get home, and then downloaded the
rest of our pictures, backed everything up, and then packed up my computer and
camera equipment for the trip home.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">We relaxed for a while until
dinner and then headed off for our final dinner of the cruise.<span> </span>We said our goodbyes to our nearby table neighbors, Steve and Linda and
Corrine and we had a group picture taken.<span>
</span>We have enjoyed talking across the aisle with them every evening and it has made our dinners more enjoyable.<span>
</span>It’s interesting that we met our friends Ken and Mary Beth on our Voyage
of the Vikings cruise back in 2016.<span>
</span>There must be something about this cruise that brings people together.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieEbLgK0zvN44E2t3oXPGiMBKny_9GHln8wK4a56na7CCjVe_fwDGTV_qQQNjLPs3qtSSYD15SXgKC7IHs6h9tiSEru8rqb7X5Q-1RYTDRUM0JoZqPPC7YUpfGW7fS0gL68xVkIDESZoLHbgYLxAIR36joHqdxSXBSNHBnyeEwJkMrOrDryLFMHto59_0/s1920/230825-195241pv.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="1920" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieEbLgK0zvN44E2t3oXPGiMBKny_9GHln8wK4a56na7CCjVe_fwDGTV_qQQNjLPs3qtSSYD15SXgKC7IHs6h9tiSEru8rqb7X5Q-1RYTDRUM0JoZqPPC7YUpfGW7fS0gL68xVkIDESZoLHbgYLxAIR36joHqdxSXBSNHBnyeEwJkMrOrDryLFMHto59_0/w400-h195/230825-195241pv.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There's Val and I in the front and Steve, Linda and Corrine in the back.<br /></span></span></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"><br />After dinner, we made our way
to the casino for our last night of play.<span>
</span>Val and I were both having some success tonight and I ended up just a
little ahead and decided it was time to cash in.<span> </span>Before the end of the night, you have to cash out whatever is left on your ship card, so I did that and headed back to the
room.<span> </span>Val decided to stay and play a
little longer, so I went back to the room without her.</span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">It got later and later, and Val
hadn’t returned, and I began to feel a little irritated as we have to get up
early tomorrow and we still had some final packing to do.<span> </span>Finally, about 10:30 Val shows up and I asked
her why she took so long, and she said she just kept winning and ended up with
another $1,000 profit for the night, unbelievable!</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">I have spent quite a bit of
time talking about our time on the casino this trip, but on this trip our casino time has been
truly unbelievable.<span> </span>Ship casinos are
notorious for having poor odds on their slot machines, but both Val and I have
had success on this trip.<span> </span>My $1,000 win
would have been the highlight of any cruise, but not this time as Val’s success
was just unbelievable.<span> </span>Of course, her
really big win was the highlight, but she just kept winning more.<span> </span>She did put a lot back in the machines which
normally slows things down, but not this time.<span>
</span>I don’t know what her final total was, but I think she went home with
over $9,000.<span> </span>Her winning streak was the
best either of us have ever had either on a ship or on land.<span> </span>We don’t expect to win as we gamble for fun
and we usually lose most or all of our gambling budget, but this trip will be very
memorable for us.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPr03pbdQjua5gmrdbxlINM0dqajbpn_ZEhd69WnxLGAAqp8ABh7HA-QfQwt01lhCAO5Hg5Cu94jQv72zHB6rcKTLdQOQ2tm3piJHxP8Yf3cfizH1Byn-oUM4swZVAZkmUJVvvBO8SDiItkk_CISidOyhka4K49VsHy36bGRUVFedzUbmBq7VqDqL2R-s/s1920/230825-221132pv.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1203" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPr03pbdQjua5gmrdbxlINM0dqajbpn_ZEhd69WnxLGAAqp8ABh7HA-QfQwt01lhCAO5Hg5Cu94jQv72zHB6rcKTLdQOQ2tm3piJHxP8Yf3cfizH1Byn-oUM4swZVAZkmUJVvvBO8SDiItkk_CISidOyhka4K49VsHy36bGRUVFedzUbmBq7VqDqL2R-s/w251-h400/230825-221132pv.jpg" width="251" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">This $710 win was the biggest of Val's last evening in the casino, but all total she came back to the room with $1000.

our carry-on bags has to be put outside our room before midnight to be
picked up and we won’t see it until tomorrow in the terminal when we get off the ship.<span> </span>We still had to do our final
packing as you have to make sure you have what you need in the morning.<span> </span>We didn’t get our bags out until after 11:00
PM so it looks like we won’t be getting as much sleep as we had hoped for
tonight.<span> </span>Tomorrow is going to be a very
hectic and long day as we get off the ship and travel home.</span></span><p></p>

Day 34</span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">Thursday, August 24, 2023</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Today we are in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halifax,_Nova_Scotia" target="_blank">Halifax, NovaScotia</a> in Canada, our last port of the cruise before returning to Boston.<span> </span>We were docked by 8:00 AM, but Val and I had

their harbor front with lots of restaurants and shops and beautiful views of the harbor, and strolling along the boardwalk is what we decided to do today.<span> </span>It was familiar, but it looked like there had
been some new development, so it wasn’t exactly like what we remembered.<span> </span>We walked quite a ways down the harbor front,
checking out some of the shops along the way and just enjoying the beautiful
weather.<span> </span>Besides people from the ship,
there were many other people out and about and it looks like Halifax is popular
with tourists.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIx6foOe3z6zsmXMPRLxAodL88ynn1RWN7bB4ZZwV3xz2dXU8iiXlO7ddXU0pMkKbrWn8joURzkIImr4RK-suRHyhb9tvjzyyY_z1FSbIYbWrujGIZiHyb24sBfyjNj0A-HnfMtJnrJinpy-4z4ne49FMZdIBTog85c_Ron_s0PohDasPg5CAw22sC1AI/s1920/230824-121005d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1277" data-original-width="1920" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIx6foOe3z6zsmXMPRLxAodL88ynn1RWN7bB4ZZwV3xz2dXU8iiXlO7ddXU0pMkKbrWn8joURzkIImr4RK-suRHyhb9tvjzyyY_z1FSbIYbWrujGIZiHyb24sBfyjNj0A-HnfMtJnrJinpy-4z4ne49FMZdIBTog85c_Ron_s0PohDasPg5CAw22sC1AI/w400-h266/230824-121005d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLb3oSAWbIsyzuEbzUS6DQgq_-5ttkSo-bcGYdDBK55_lXOV_3paKCZgQG2YDMrOWMCZUSxMPi8nxD9J-cz2qJUobEQVldkjt_d2_H7-mAWg9IIHGuBRAyY414XStIGKKaTQ75xXecDYX91vU0jh_9PHiNHpb7KhmwCCfD9DoTmCaW_6A7DQBLSK9K9dw/s1920/230824-120433d.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1450" data-original-width="1920" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLb3oSAWbIsyzuEbzUS6DQgq_-5ttkSo-bcGYdDBK55_lXOV_3paKCZgQG2YDMrOWMCZUSxMPi8nxD9J-cz2qJUobEQVldkjt_d2_H7-mAWg9IIHGuBRAyY414XStIGKKaTQ75xXecDYX91vU0jh_9PHiNHpb7KhmwCCfD9DoTmCaW_6A7DQBLSK9K9dw/w400-h303/230824-120433d.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">This statue

Day 33</span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">Wednesday, August 23, 2023</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Today is a sea day and the
cruise is winding down; there is only one more port before we return to Boston
and home.<span> </span>We got plenty of sleep last
night so even if we tried, we couldn’t really stay in bed too long and were
both up before nine.<span> </span>We had breakfast in
the Neptune Lounge and found Alexa, our concierge back at her post.<span> </span>She has been sick for a few days, and we have
had Carl taking her place.<span> </span>It was good
to see Alexa back and healthy.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">The weather is a little better
today with partly cloudy skies and mild temperatures.<span> </span>We actually spent time out on the balcony
while our room was being cleaned; we haven’t been able to do that for a while.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Val’s big casino win has caused
us a bit of a problem (a good problem).<span>
</span>Because they couldn’t pay us with a check, we have a large amount of
cash that I would rather not have to carry back so one solution was to pay off
our shipboard account in cash and I did that this morning.<span> </span>That still leaves quite a bit of cash, but at
least it is less than it was.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">I spent the rest of the morning
writing up the blog for yesterday while Val read and relaxed.<span> </span>We received our disembarkation packet today
with instructions on the procedure to get off the ship.<span> </span>Instead of going through customs in the
terminal, we will be meeting face-to-face with immigration officials on the
ship before we are allowed to get off.<span>
</span>It is all scheduled and looks to be efficient, but we’ll see how that
goes.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">The morning went by fast, and
it was soon lunch time.<span> </span>We went a little
later than usual and were rewarded with a less crowded Lido, something we need
to remember.<span> </span>As has become our custom on
sea days, we went down to the casino after lunch where I quickly lost my
money.<span> </span>Val was luckier and hit a nice
little jackpot and continued to play while I returned to our room.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Val returned a while later and
I decided to go down to the outside promenade deck and take some pictures from
the rear of the ship.<span> </span>It was quite
windy, but the skies were blue, and the sun was out so it was a nice day.<span> </span>I returned to the room and downloaded
yesterdays and today’s pictures to the computer, backed everything up and then
relaxed and read for the rest of the afternoon.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9DRJpys84wNgb4Hln9dghENeTyhZ8ZlfMrf8Gk2TN4h0brle8zBjl3UqDzoWyiy64QvRyB3il9RxMFm73IxE2oH5T5gMCB67Ife57P1Tvm4UcVNGbow_DSBrOm1y-wR6tW2VjCaLgDg7MdG4eMsWB4j0_tzhxeCatcYVfFYFQHJU2O1ftMYqAXECjp2c/s1920/230823-154758d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1277" data-original-width="1920" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9DRJpys84wNgb4Hln9dghENeTyhZ8ZlfMrf8Gk2TN4h0brle8zBjl3UqDzoWyiy64QvRyB3il9RxMFm73IxE2oH5T5gMCB67Ife57P1Tvm4UcVNGbow_DSBrOm1y-wR6tW2VjCaLgDg7MdG4eMsWB4j0_tzhxeCatcYVfFYFQHJU2O1ftMYqAXECjp2c/w400-h266/230823-154758d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Tonight is the last formal
night of the cruise, so we got into our dressy attire and headed off to

before returning to Boston.</span></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNifz8bDg-XDGTl7I6pqtrX3J8cPezELpuE8P5zNVHCcs7neMFhsVLHjNkUlXqp0aNHsVeY-wmedBv2SWFMcQbYiGFIQgAWO1HAG1qQXx0bZX-jI30QEBWAzj8_3dMh7FT8Q_vrucqIjuyAcA6w2HCTnRQ0T16p9cuOP5lfIUIPwtdPUBIWBtGmgHngCI/s1920/230823-204315d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1119" data-original-width="1920" height="234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNifz8bDg-XDGTl7I6pqtrX3J8cPezELpuE8P5zNVHCcs7neMFhsVLHjNkUlXqp0aNHsVeY-wmedBv2SWFMcQbYiGFIQgAWO1HAG1qQXx0bZX-jI30QEBWAzj8_3dMh7FT8Q_vrucqIjuyAcA6w2HCTnRQ0T16p9cuOP5lfIUIPwtdPUBIWBtGmgHngCI/w400-h234/230823-204315d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiplBC-l9TiDGYabYfWY1jVg8rScARRDAQJt8MzRKCmtNze9x_szi22-AsffepJlTCAhyWFhZlQyIUPXEexs0ojcz0zsHdLnIYse46nVHiEDiac57e4vbvVECw9BRTx90DYH35POmEuoTkwkp-xQKGdtcC96QpyuNYhkXs2-5kTfcrD1f0qiqdOyjMpHf0/s1920/230823-205018d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1590" data-original-width="1920" height="331" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiplBC-l9TiDGYabYfWY1jVg8rScARRDAQJt8MzRKCmtNze9x_szi22-AsffepJlTCAhyWFhZlQyIUPXEexs0ojcz0zsHdLnIYse46nVHiEDiac57e4vbvVECw9BRTx90DYH35POmEuoTkwkp-xQKGdtcC96QpyuNYhkXs2-5kTfcrD1f0qiqdOyjMpHf0/w400-h331/230823-205018d.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1PQQ5FHazt3jcOk119hQLvSAKH20otBoHCZRgkeJjJyk4laePUak40XB_GztHdINCxpv2irCx_JOcjI_hfYzHa6LlIgd9kwi4tmGJ29d_uOT6eklDJVjmb2Y49I_4xoGsBD99lqtsW32MW3pGRhccngr8wJ9KgcEj1Nx9o3FSuF8bk846yadaIntKLt0/s1920/230823-205255d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="620" data-original-width="1920" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1PQQ5FHazt3jcOk119hQLvSAKH20otBoHCZRgkeJjJyk4laePUak40XB_GztHdINCxpv2irCx_JOcjI_hfYzHa6LlIgd9kwi4tmGJ29d_uOT6eklDJVjmb2Y49I_4xoGsBD99lqtsW32MW3pGRhccngr8wJ9KgcEj1Nx9o3FSuF8bk846yadaIntKLt0/w640-h206/230823-205255d.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></span><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">Tuesday, August 22, 2023</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">We are visiting <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._John%27s,_Newfoundland_and_Labrador" target="_blank">St. John’s</a>
today another Newfoundland town.<span> </span>This is
our second visit to St. John’s, and we really enjoyed our <a href="http://daveandvalstravels.blogspot.com/2016/09/voyage-of-vikings-cruise-cruise-day-32.html" target="_blank">first visit</a>.<span> </span>Unfortunately, when we got up this morning it
was raining, and the weather forecast says it will last all day.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Here is some information on St.
John’s from Google.<span> </span>“</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">St. John's, a city on Newfoundland Island
off Canada's Atlantic coast, is the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador
province. Its harbour was settled by the British in the 1600s. Downtown is
known for its colourful row houses. Above the city is Signal Hill with walking
trails and the site of the first transatlantic wireless communication, Cabot
Tower, which commemorates John Cabot's discovery of Newfoundland.”<span> </span>St. John’s population is 114,000; that is

the views were a bit obscured, but we didn’t let that deter us and we went

clocks and instruments to the right time.</span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicKFbcB62KHFat7C1DS7EaJpT170FyJ0AOZ5OXoCPZ2urqPElr-yb5otsjXiSqQezr5OuSrUqbPCdLXpOivRNkdimoF1F2_bsCaR_ZO-RTDsQPk5DpsMABZI7i1yRJV8PFqUJxG43I8MjJD0SKjKADp3y6POV_XQyG1VDa9ojWUc18yJU9ixSip-erT7s/s1920/230822-121222d.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1430" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicKFbcB62KHFat7C1DS7EaJpT170FyJ0AOZ5OXoCPZ2urqPElr-yb5otsjXiSqQezr5OuSrUqbPCdLXpOivRNkdimoF1F2_bsCaR_ZO-RTDsQPk5DpsMABZI7i1yRJV8PFqUJxG43I8MjJD0SKjKADp3y6POV_XQyG1VDa9ojWUc18yJU9ixSip-erT7s/w298-h400/230822-121222d.jpg" width="298" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">Part of Fort <span><span style="color: black;">Waldergrave</span></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span></span></span></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM8BLJXWQkAexFjuMiHH_LLhmdb5Ua_RQjwOTctzOvyiYVZeuB7AqpglzWsgZ-D0iUDYPBHYK0OWcCKVMo0A4I-nC-gTa7Dd8i2yZ84lSfFgdSMj_JOBEHStmA5epSNln8suXUuRQG-k7mWCI-vXF4n3M68T1ky4S2VjjjlMsPwS3N3mgttlf5r9POv_s/s1920/230822-121405d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1109" data-original-width="1920" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM8BLJXWQkAexFjuMiHH_LLhmdb5Ua_RQjwOTctzOvyiYVZeuB7AqpglzWsgZ-D0iUDYPBHYK0OWcCKVMo0A4I-nC-gTa7Dd8i2yZ84lSfFgdSMj_JOBEHStmA5epSNln8suXUuRQG-k7mWCI-vXF4n3M68T1ky4S2VjjjlMsPwS3N3mgttlf5r9POv_s/w400-h231/230822-121405d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggHCVLk0L39CRpm49gQpCJ_QgeTIQW44Lh8DbXCF0hcZ28LQflI6As3SmkTQMgN3oOtnWhtHwKSgewkV_dYjLBgZd3_g6FhnNhyT5F33QuZjQnhMfBiOrAin0dv6uXwpRj6tjKZJoV6G5kq4ZOF9sRqYeiQuIaf7hb0f-GPX47zjB2UsaQki6_4MvJxaw/s1920/230822-122128d.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1679" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggHCVLk0L39CRpm49gQpCJ_QgeTIQW44Lh8DbXCF0hcZ28LQflI6As3SmkTQMgN3oOtnWhtHwKSgewkV_dYjLBgZd3_g6FhnNhyT5F33QuZjQnhMfBiOrAin0dv6uXwpRj6tjKZJoV6G5kq4ZOF9sRqYeiQuIaf7hb0f-GPX47zjB2UsaQki6_4MvJxaw/w350-h400/230822-122128d.jpg" width="350" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This cannon is fired every day at noon.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBeBIo96TPRmAfUxPofZ774qwHqABOsvPGEhXuS12AjVSu98H3v6SiPwIarI_ADsW9ANoIobOcTz1PUjJoHbxBUQfvDeeYHM2SRUsDdTNflYjbVtXqpBN1sB3Rtf8vu5bjzDlFC8BfqTGepdxsw06bkYn-jAGhubvNYLUnCBo-ofC6k46tuixj-Ks9-_0/s1920/230822-122814v.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1320" data-original-width="1920" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBeBIo96TPRmAfUxPofZ774qwHqABOsvPGEhXuS12AjVSu98H3v6SiPwIarI_ADsW9ANoIobOcTz1PUjJoHbxBUQfvDeeYHM2SRUsDdTNflYjbVtXqpBN1sB3Rtf8vu5bjzDlFC8BfqTGepdxsw06bkYn-jAGhubvNYLUnCBo-ofC6k46tuixj-Ks9-_0/w400-h275/230822-122814v.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />From there it was back into
town into an area called <a href="https://encounternewfoundland.com/jellybean-row-the-color-of-st-johns/" target="_blank">Jellybean Row</a>.<span>
</span>Back in 1892 most of the town burned down and when they rebuilt it,
supplies were hard to come by in this remote area, so whole blocks of houses
were painted exactly the same color.<span>
</span>This caused some confusion and as paint became more readily available,
people added colorful trim and even changed the color, so instead of a single-colored
area, there are now a mixture of brightly colored homes and buildings.<span> </span>The effect was a little subdued due to the
dark skies, but it was still very colorful and unique.</span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

town to the <a href="https://www.marineatlantic.ca/journey/living-edge-visit-cape-spear-newfoundland-and-labrador" target="_blank">Cape Spear National Historic Site</a>.<span> </span>It
was out of St. John’s town area, but we were still in the St. John’s city
limits as it has a very large footprint.<span>
</span>Cape Spear was a military installation during World War II and also has
a lighthouse.<span> </span>It actually has two
lighthouses, one new one and an older historic one that is no longer used.<span> </span>The drive was very beautiful through some
very scenic countryside.<span> </span>Mary said she
had to be very watchful as there are many moose in the area.<span> </span>Moose were not originally on the island of
Newfoundland, but they were brought in as a source of meat for the inhabitants
and because there are no predators on the island they have flourished over the
years and now there are too many of them.</span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Cape Spear would have some
beautiful views in clear weather, but today it was shrouded in clouds and a
light fog.<span> </span>The rain had picked up, so
Joan and Val only got out for a short time and then they returned to
the car, while Mary led Bob and I down to see what was left of the old military
installation.<span> </span>We also stood on the
eastern most point in North America, but Mary said that wasn’t strictly true as
Greenland is considered part of North America, but Greenland is an island so
I’m still sticking with it being the eastern most point.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnG2M1mL726fca9VIbXQar8vinCrHZu7lgOYvLS5RbG_j0-RoHa2cgwhs3tyNXOZwLNaqsN9hPcgNSYJTHPycsKQ57_JaGo7_TXfbVBl0I3aLG8vvMeuzB1-ob0nQciQgm4iMZ8VHVYor0JSGCC_RfJS7cTwxZ7durajtp29-UoBGGeb2HF4MUXMXBJUA/s1920/230822-135753d.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1277" data-original-width="1920" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnG2M1mL726fca9VIbXQar8vinCrHZu7lgOYvLS5RbG_j0-RoHa2cgwhs3tyNXOZwLNaqsN9hPcgNSYJTHPycsKQ57_JaGo7_TXfbVBl0I3aLG8vvMeuzB1-ob0nQciQgm4iMZ8VHVYor0JSGCC_RfJS7cTwxZ7durajtp29-UoBGGeb2HF4MUXMXBJUA/w400-h266/230822-135753d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It was rainy and overcast so the views were mostly obscured.

Call tour planned for today, but it doesn’t look like it is going to
happen.<span> </span>The tour operator had filled one
bus and when more people (including us) said they were interested, he said he
would try to get another bus.<span> </span>We didn’t
hear anything more until the cruise began when Val received an e-mail saying he
had another bus and we could join the tour.<span>
</span>Val wrote back and asked where we would meet and at what time, but she
never heard back.<span> </span>Evidently others had
experienced the same thing so we just gave up on it, so, to make a long story
short, we have nothing planned for the day.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">I got up at 6:00 AM to check
the weather and it was foggy so that didn’t bode well for the day.<span> </span>I got up again at 8:00 after we were at
anchor in the harbor, and the sun was shining with blue sky above, great!<span> </span>The area is very picturesque with a rugged
coastline and grass covered hills.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBNZgnl77XZyCWQp82SNZzgNilq2TVZwONOGmHOLWaHO2JgXp7JB9XBEeTu-qxkw2dZdgsB299pZL3pO9PA9jaOTyPND9jL6XjogHF2J_kxykkApcJWZsWmFtd_uKTlJI-m8wy3dTEszMcYR7XAhtcTJm2upHy1TYkuFXPGWUse3mJEPuhpAX9F6KzHV8/s1920/230821-083038d.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1064" data-original-width="1920" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBNZgnl77XZyCWQp82SNZzgNilq2TVZwONOGmHOLWaHO2JgXp7JB9XBEeTu-qxkw2dZdgsB299pZL3pO9PA9jaOTyPND9jL6XjogHF2J_kxykkApcJWZsWmFtd_uKTlJI-m8wy3dTEszMcYR7XAhtcTJm2upHy1TYkuFXPGWUse3mJEPuhpAX9F6KzHV8/w400-h221/230821-083038d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">We had beautiful views from our balcony.

breakfast in the Neptune Lounge and then decided to wait a while before going
ashore.<span> </span>This is another tender port, so
it takes just a bit more planning to go ashore.<span>
</span>At 10:00 we decided to get going, but apparently so did a lot of other
people as we had to wait a bit for the tender and by the time it left, it was
completely full.<span> </span>After getting off the
tender, the first thing we saw was a museum and gift shop, so we decided to

Day 30<br /></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">Sunday, August 20, 2023</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Since today is a sea day, Val
and I slept in as usual, but we were up by nine and after getting ready, had
our breakfast in the Neptune Lounge.<span> </span>I
continue to feel a little better every morning as I slowly get over my cold,
but I am getting frustrated that it just doesn’t go away.<span> </span>It has been so long since I’ve had a cold, and I
seem to have forgotten the process you have to go through.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">I had a few things to check
with the Neptune Lounge concierge about and got that taken care of and then
returned to the room where Val and I spent the morning taking care of some
business on our computers.<span> </span>I also
brought the blog up to date and cleaned up a few other odds and ends before
lunch.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">We went to lunch in the Lido
and then went directly to the World Stage to hear a port talk on our upcoming
ports.<span> </span>After the talk we spent a little
time in the casino and then returned to our room.<span> </span>The weather had been overcast and foggy all
day, and by afternoon the wind had come up and it had started to rain.<span> </span>It wasn’t too cold, but if you stepped out on
the balcony you got wet as the wind was blowing the rain under the cover.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">We relaxed and read for the
rest of the afternoon and then had our usual night of dinner in the main dining
room and then the casino.<span> </span>We are
arriving at our next port at 7:00 AM tomorrow morning, but we have nothing
planned so there was no reason to get to bed early, so we relaxed a while
before turning in.</span></span></p>

Day 29</span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">Saturday, August 19, 2023</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Today we are looking forward to
revisiting <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qaqortoq" target="_blank">Qaqartoq, Greenland</a>.<span> </span>We had
really enjoyed it <a href="http://daveandvalstravels.blogspot.com/2016/09/voyage-of-vikings-cruise-cruise-day-8.html" target="_blank">back in 2016</a>.<span> </span>It has
grown quite a bit since our last visit and while it was unique to have a cruise
ship stop there in 2016, that is no longer the case and in fact, there will be
two cruise ships in Qaqartoq today.<span> </span>Besides
us, there will be a Princess ship that has more passengers than we have so
there will be over 4,000 cruise ship passengers descending on this little town
of 3,000 today.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhInvYVQ4PDu0YD9p0mUnaqNuJK6sxNuo_8hxlvrWPTKLyq481SPq31Gs4AfJ4GtupE4so-26oPf0B-_ff1ZRN6HoJatu8sBzq9GrImnkBguRobw3XrY4XIOL5NtryuDlggQAtnFublPzul_ftx99CvwZsR5V5iS4upzmhrrdoX4lHOrkiTti6tUAr_oy4/s1920/Southern%20Greenland%20Map.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1209" data-original-width="1920" height="405" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhInvYVQ4PDu0YD9p0mUnaqNuJK6sxNuo_8hxlvrWPTKLyq481SPq31Gs4AfJ4GtupE4so-26oPf0B-_ff1ZRN6HoJatu8sBzq9GrImnkBguRobw3XrY4XIOL5NtryuDlggQAtnFublPzul_ftx99CvwZsR5V5iS4upzmhrrdoX4lHOrkiTti6tUAr_oy4/w640-h405/Southern%20Greenland%20Map.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">The location of Qaqartoq (red marker) compared to the other two ports we have visited in Greenland this trip.

I guess they were doing some sort of drill because, much to our surprise, a helicopter flew out of the fog and landed on the ship. It was a little scary as we weren't sure how they could even find the ship in the fog, but I'm sure they must do it all the time.<br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Around eleven, the fog looked
like it might be starting to burn off, so Val and I got ready and headed for
the tenders.<span> </span>It was a very short tender
ride to the dock and when we arrived, we found the town teeming with people.<span> </span>Our tender dock for this visit was in a

icebergs at the entrance.<span> </span>It looked
lighter ahead so we hoped that would mean clearing skies.<span> </span>Because of the colder weather, we decided to

wind and we could also duck inside to warm up.<span>
</span>We are on the starboard side of the ship, and we think this is the best
side to view the Sound from anyway. Once again, we took many pictures and I'll, once again, share our journey through the sound with you.<br /></span></span></p>

one foray to the front of the ship as the captain detoured up an inlet to get a
better view of the glacier (you can see the red line leaving the main channel on the map).<span> </span>He got
surprisingly close, and I wanted to get some pictures, but it wasn’t really necessary
as he rotated the ship all the way around twice so everyone would get a
view.<span> </span>We were surprised he was first of
all, able to get this close, and then secondly, have room to rotate the ship
all way around.<span> </span>We were glad he did as
the views were spectacular.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisrD8o8iK4EFqMkMFRVSHjXCLxzMnDcRGHdJDmREhRCCYvIQssvXCIQ-Ch2tkmcSyL5mNZLSQTFeKE-kw9vNOXzBa2gohey9yBNtoWoOENTjtahET0q8Ku7wyDZg1AIV8UpYvgT3lx3Waydyk20rjPMOupv2pICCSl1DI81G9rrd6dqj7BKVWyC1cN0PE/s1920/230818-160522d.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1116" data-original-width="1920" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisrD8o8iK4EFqMkMFRVSHjXCLxzMnDcRGHdJDmREhRCCYvIQssvXCIQ-Ch2tkmcSyL5mNZLSQTFeKE-kw9vNOXzBa2gohey9yBNtoWoOENTjtahET0q8Ku7wyDZg1AIV8UpYvgT3lx3Waydyk20rjPMOupv2pICCSl1DI81G9rrd6dqj7BKVWyC1cN0PE/w400-h233/230818-160522d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">This was taken from the front of the ship.

Day 27</span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"> </span>Thursday, August 17, 2023</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">After six
port days in the last seven, we were very much looking forward to a free day at
sea.<span> </span>I didn’t cough much last night, so
we got a pretty decent night’s sleep and didn’t get up until 9:00.<span> </span>In the back of my mind there was a bit of a
worry that I might not have a cold, but have COVID instead, so right after I
got up I took a COVID test that thankfully came out negative so that worry was
gone.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We aren’t
planning on doing anything today as I am not at the top of my game and Val is
still recovering from her cold.<span> </span>We got
our breakfast in the Neptune Lounge and returned to the room to relax until
lunchtime, but we were interrupted by our room stewards wanting to clean our
room (such an inconvenience to have someone want to clean your room every day 😉).<span> </span>We returned to
the Neptune Lounge while they took care of that and had a nice chat with a
woman who is also was recovering from a cold, there seems to be a lot of that
on the ship as there is a lot of coughing going on.<span> However, we aren't hearing that there is a lot of COVID onboard so we are grateful for that. </span>Val and I are wearing masks again on the
tenders and buses and anytime we are in a crowd, but that doesn’t seem to have
kept us from getting whatever is going around.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I spent the
rest of the morning writing up the blog and resting until it was time for
lunch.<span> </span>After lunch in the Lido, we took
a short trip to the casino and then returned to the room.<span> </span>We relaxed for a while and then looked at all
of our recent photos.<span> </span>After we finished,
I organized them and backed them up and then relaxed until dinner.<span> </span>We haven’t gone to any of the lectures or
activities lately as my coughing would be too distracting, so we have just
stayed in our room.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We are having
dinner tonight in the Caneletto Restaurant compliments of the casino.<span> </span>The Caneletto is another specialty restaurant
on the ship, this one featuring Italian cuisine.<span> </span>Our meal was very good and in fact, it was
better than our Pinnacle Grill dinner.<span>
</span>After dinner, we of course went to the casino in honor of them paying
for our dinner and played for a while.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Tonight, there
was a special event called the Zuiderdam Ball that took place on the Music Walk
which is the area from the Rolling Stone Lounge to Billboard Onboard area.<span> </span>This is the walk we take to and from the
casino and it was full of people including ship’s officers and even the captain
himself.<span> </span>Music was playing in both
venues, and everyone was having a good time.<span>
</span>The casino was very crowded, but mostly from people just sitting on
chairs listening to the music and talking.<span>
</span>It was a little annoying as it made it difficult to get to the slot
machines and table games, but it all worked out and everyone had a good time.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We arrived
back in the room a little later than usual, but the clocks are going to be set
back an hour again tonight, so that means another extra hour of sleep for
us.<span> </span>Tomorrow will be a day of scenic
cruising as we make our return journey through the Prince Christian Sound.</span></span><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br clear="all" style="break-before: page; mso-special-character: line-break; page-break-before: always;" /></span>

back to the ship until the Lido had closed for lunch, so we got some food from
the Neptune Lounge and brought it back to the room.<span> </span>It looks like I have caught the cold that Val
had and although I don’t really feel very sick, I have a pretty bad cough which
is annoying; this will be our first cold since the fall of 2019.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We relaxed
until dinner, but since we had eaten lunch late, we weren’t very hungry for
dinner.<span> </span>We went anyway and decided to
just have a couple of appetizers and dessert and skip the main course, and that
worked out well for us.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We weren’t
leaving <span>Reykjavik until 11:00 PM so the
casino wasn’t open tonight, but that was actually good for us as we were very
tired after getting up so early this morning.<span>
</span>When we got back to the room, we also saw that we were gaining another
hour tonight and setting the clocks back an hour.<span> </span>My only worry was that I would cough all
night and keep both Val and me awake.<span>
</span>It’s a sea day tomorrow so I’ll have some time to rest and recuperate.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5fLkS0br_E4JaJj4wO5khCRDMTR6cO5dDkcJTGR9Ppdb7iaGYUixdjguJ7-dRLj-Y5ULTntI5C7JWj8T-HcHQCtEoTBJZn7emAYDvChYmDP9KguPrDqRrkVpopOnglimTmHJyWsUJ1hwLgpLeRXI8R1Ha7D5vra3sfedSD5m7_QiR9weMEAd1bposa_Y/s1920/230816-155451d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1104" data-original-width="1920" height="368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5fLkS0br_E4JaJj4wO5khCRDMTR6cO5dDkcJTGR9Ppdb7iaGYUixdjguJ7-dRLj-Y5ULTntI5C7JWj8T-HcHQCtEoTBJZn7emAYDvChYmDP9KguPrDqRrkVpopOnglimTmHJyWsUJ1hwLgpLeRXI8R1Ha7D5vra3sfedSD5m7_QiR9weMEAd1bposa_Y/w640-h368/230816-155451d.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></span></span></div><p></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span></span></span></span><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Today we have a ship excursion called “Easy Reykjavik” that leaves at
noon and is only three and a half hours long.<span>
</span>We met in the World Stage at around 11:30 but didn’t get sent to the
tenders until after noon.<span> </span>It was a bit
hectic as there were many tours leaving around the same time.<span> </span>We finally made it to shore and to our bus and
were on our way before 1:00 PM.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">As I explained in an earlier post, we had just cancelled a long tour and
booked this one because of an early tour tomorrow.<span> </span>In our previous visit we had gone out of town
on both days and didn’t really get to see much of Reykjavik so we thought this
would give us an opportunity to do that.<span>
</span>We drove through the city with our guide (more on our guide later)
pointing out sights and landmarks along the way.<span> </span>Our first stop was <a href="https://reykjavikcitymuseum.is/arbaer-open-air-museum" target="_blank">Árbæjarsafn</a><span>, an open-air museum showing the way people lived during various time
periods in Iceland.<span> </span>There was a tour

geothermal activity and use the super heated steam to provide both heat (over
90% of the homes in the country) and generate most of the electricity.<span> </span>As we drove through undeveloped areas we could see large pipelines everywhere that
carry the hot water to the towns and cities and into the homes and businesses.</span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our next stop on the tour was the <a href="https://perlan.is/" target="_blank">Perlan Wonders of Iceland</a>, a natural
history museum sitting atop a hill overlooking Reykjavik.<span> </span>Our guide told us it was a powerhouse where
electricity was once generated and hot water distributed from, but we saw no
sign of that and I can’t find any evidence of that doing some Google searches.<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It was very interesting, and we spent quite a bit of time there.<span> </span>We only got to see a portion of the museum as
our tour didn’t include tickets to all the exhibits.<span> </span>After going through the museum, we took the
elevator up to the 4<sup>th</sup> level where there was an observation deck
completely circling the outside of the building with panoramic views of Reykjavik
and beyond.<span> </span>We did feel a few drops of
rain while we were outside, but nothing really developed, and our luck held.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">On the same level as the observation deck there was food available, so
since Val and I had missed lunch, we got a snack and something to drink to tide
us over.<span> </span>By the time we finished, it was
time to head back to the bus.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our next stop was supposed to be a visit to an old Icelandic Lutheran
Church that is a landmark and visible from the harbor, but for some reason the
bus was unable to park there so we just continued our tour of the city until it
was time to return to the ship.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We have mixed feelings about this tour as the two places we visited were
quite interesting, but our guide was one of the worst we’ve ever had.<span> </span>He was quite old and seemed confused at times
and struggled with his English.<span> </span>He
repeated things and was very vague in his descriptions.<span> </span>He would say such and such is up ahead, but
of course, except for those in the front seats of the bus, no one could see
what he was talking about and by the time it was beside us, he was already
talking about something else ahead.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">One
of the important things a guide has to do is keep track of the people they are
guiding.<span> </span>At the beginning, they count
heads to make sure that the number matches their list.<span> </span>Then at every stop before the bus moves on,
they recount to make sure everyone was there.<span>
</span>Our guide became confused doing this and at one stop even told the driver
to leave before everyone was aboard.<span> </span>It
was only because everyone started shouting that the bus stopped and
waited.<span> </span>After that, the bus driver did
the counting even though it’s not really his job.<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">One last thing, when returning to the port, he actually delivered us to
the wrong spot and told us to go through the terminal that was being used for
another ship.<span> </span>The tenders were nearby,
but it confused some of the people and we had a longer walk to make.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We actually felt sorry for the guide as we speculated that because of the
heavy tourism in Iceland and especially since there were five ships in port
today, he was brought out of retirement to fill a shortage of guides.<span> </span>Anyway, it was a little annoying, but we had
a good time, and no harm was done.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Update: I’m writing this the day after this tour.<span> </span>Evidently, a number of people complained, and
we received a letter today apologizing for the difficulties on the tour and
saying they are refunding half the cost of the tour.<span> </span>We didn’t think it was that bad, but that is
a nice thing for Holland America to do.<span>
</span>Now back to yesterday’s post.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It was around 5:00 when we got back and after getting settled back in, we
relaxed until dinner.<span> </span>It was dinner as
usual, but no casino tonight as we are in port overnight and the casino is
closed.<span> </span>That is a good thing though, as
we have a very early tour tomorrow so after dinner we went back to our room and
were in bed before ten.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy8sZ9CEvgoySixRUvD1D9QhPKt4HJlxRz-IDRSkzh0j5sjTRuotwBS0HTABAqxGTtQ9W3QY3JqWBmJxI1vwScLYee6PNOnMmu31ImLSDlF4tRRe9H9ZLKo_uQwsuA_157vVFWtyYWTZSBYYYpAeyGQ6ZxSOmDkeXZlO8yCZLkn8bEFwG7Bj667mNUVDg/s1920/230815-161716d.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="970" data-original-width="1920" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy8sZ9CEvgoySixRUvD1D9QhPKt4HJlxRz-IDRSkzh0j5sjTRuotwBS0HTABAqxGTtQ9W3QY3JqWBmJxI1vwScLYee6PNOnMmu31ImLSDlF4tRRe9H9ZLKo_uQwsuA_157vVFWtyYWTZSBYYYpAeyGQ6ZxSOmDkeXZlO8yCZLkn8bEFwG7Bj667mNUVDg/w400-h203/230815-161716d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">This was taken from near the tender dock.<br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span><br /></span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbWNZwWpwBh-72V17hMvvX3MldVn8r4cCMktLmRgTqrkaqK5IPc4o03U_hOdd-4zKJ0Upm6QdhpinzFEun-5C0ROH2Sf8KJulh-eLshOobPycNu1DRtgfYQTqJEGePTVvZBbb8N1Fa59VFzWjU28yvdGA4mLGrqiwpxkJJ4WfBAnBKqXjaG0T_gcgfC6o/s1920/230815-190106d.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1277" data-original-width="1920" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbWNZwWpwBh-72V17hMvvX3MldVn8r4cCMktLmRgTqrkaqK5IPc4o03U_hOdd-4zKJ0Upm6QdhpinzFEun-5C0ROH2Sf8KJulh-eLshOobPycNu1DRtgfYQTqJEGePTVvZBbb8N1Fa59VFzWjU28yvdGA4mLGrqiwpxkJJ4WfBAnBKqXjaG0T_gcgfC6o/w400-h266/230815-190106d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">These last two photos were taken from the ship.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I got up at 7:00 AM and was surprised and happy to see blue skies
outside.<span> </span>I didn’t have to get up until
7:30, so I went back to bed for a short time before getting up to get
ready.<span> </span>Unfortunately, when Val woke up
she told me she wasn’t feeling well and felt like she was coming down with a
cold or maybe worse, COVID.<span> </span>We had a ship
excursion scheduled for today, but it didn’t seem wise for her to go.<span> </span>She wanted me to go on without her while she
stayed on the ship and rested, so even though I hated to leave her by herself, I
got up and got ready to go.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our (my) tour today is a ship excursion called “Super 4X4: Snaedals
Waterfalls and Bragdavellir Cottage”.<span> </span>I
had no idea what all that entailed, but I hoped it meant we would be going to
some remote area.<span> </span>After getting ready, I
made my way to the World Stage to wait for my tour to be called.<span> </span>I hated to do this without Val, but she
wanted me to go so there I was.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There were a lot of tours called ahead of mine including a very popular
one with ten different groups called.<span> </span>I
hope that didn’t mean ten full-sized buses as that would a lot of people.<span> </span>In any event, I was glad I wasn’t on that
tour.<span> </span>My group was finally called, and I
was on my way to the tender and to shore (I forgot to mention this is another
tender port).</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The weather was beautiful with mild temperatures and little wind.<span> </span>I had come prepared with my heavy jacket, and
it wasn’t long before I took it off, I was very comfortable in my heavy
shirt.<span> </span>The Super 4X4’s where very nice,
modified Mercedes Sprinter Vans that had 4WD.<span>
</span>There were four of them and each held 12 people, but thankfully there
was a maximum of 9 to a vehicle on this tour.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We set off on our adventure and I found myself having the whole rear
bench seat to myself, very nice.<span> </span>We
drove for about 20 minutes out of town until we turned off onto a dirt road and
I realized this was really going to be a 4X4 tour (so many of the so called
“4X4 tours” are not that at all).<span> </span>The
going was quite rough and there were several water crossings so the 4WD was
definitely needed.<span> </span>We had a very nice
young man for a guide who was great.<span> </span>The
area was amazingly beautiful with mountains, waterfalls, rock formations and
sweeping vistas and no one else was around except for our group.<span> </span>We made quite a few stops along our route and I will talk about them with some of the many pictures I took today.</span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF_2XF4QdCsXVt5FN7kuGw6mepCvHd1RDUygNhFS1BOxf8sKII-r2IinZi4yqZ0YhHkXeAZXdePXKvGj923vyPbKqnSTzwpikk_EndDxeR6eWTdtB0ow8_d7HpVs5WIKANBRFu8_Gfesn8V_sCN_nWxrECkkTu5Uql-Nrd2rSgSB9nUsQuPpAKpNrJKso/s1920/Djupivogur%204X4%20Tour%20Map.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1140" data-original-width="1920" height="381" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF_2XF4QdCsXVt5FN7kuGw6mepCvHd1RDUygNhFS1BOxf8sKII-r2IinZi4yqZ0YhHkXeAZXdePXKvGj923vyPbKqnSTzwpikk_EndDxeR6eWTdtB0ow8_d7HpVs5WIKANBRFu8_Gfesn8V_sCN_nWxrECkkTu5Uql-Nrd2rSgSB9nUsQuPpAKpNrJKso/w640-h381/Djupivogur%204X4%20Tour%20Map.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Since we were way off the beaten path, I can't put names to most of places we visited today, but I do have a GPS on my camera that allowed me to mark some of the spots with colored teardrops above.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">After our snack, we drove back to the pavement and back into town.<span> </span>This was a really great tour, one of the best
of the cruise and I felt very bad that Val had missed it, but those things
happen.<span> </span>Besides the beautiful scenery we
saw, I really appreciated that at every stop our guide had said, take as much
time as you want, we are in no rush.<span>
</span>Most tours you feel very rushed to get in and out of a stop, so this was
great.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It was a little after one when I got back and texted Val to see if she
felt any better and wanted to hop on a tender and meet me in town to explore a
bit, but she wasn’t feeling any better, so I decided to look around on my
own.<span> </span>I had heard people talking about
the Eggs, and wondered what they were talking about.<span> </span>As I got out of the van, our guide told me
they were just around the corner, so I started walking in the direction he
pointed.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

to be quite a long walk and I’m not sure it was really worth it.<span> </span>The Eggs turned out to be an artwork by the
popular Icelandic artist, <i>Sigurður
Guðmundsson,</i> consisting of 34 granite eggs lining the bay called <a href="https://guidetoiceland.is/connect-with-locals/regina/djupivogur-village-in-east-iceland-and-the-egg-sculptures-at-gledivik-bay" target="_blank">Eggin in Gleðivík</a><span> </span>(the Eggs at Merry Bay).<span> </span>Each of the granite eggs represents one of
the nesting birds found in the area.<span> </span>It
was quite interesting, but I’m not sure it was worth the three or four mile
roundtrip walk.<span> </span><i><span> </span></i><span>I did run into a couple I had talked to while
eating our cake<span> </span>at the Bragdavellir
Cottage this morning, so I had a nice chat with them while we walked and as it
turned out, we had a bit in common.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I made it back to the center of town and made an unsuccessful check of a
shop for a t-shirt and then returned to the ship.<span> </span>I got right on the tender and was soon back
on the ship.<span> </span>There has been a lot of
tendering on this trip, but it has been very well organized, and I have been
impressed.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Poor Val was still feeling poorly, and feeling very hungry because she
didn’t want to expose anyone to what she had.<span>
</span>I immediately went down to the Neptune Lounge and picked up some food
for her.<span> </span>We had brought COVID tests with
us, so before she ate, she wanted to take one and happily, it came out negative,
so it looks like she probably just has a cold.<span> </span>That’s not exactly good, but it’s better than
having COVID.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I had something to eat too and then we had some anniversary cake for
dessert.<span> </span>Last night at the Pinnacle
Grill after we had finished our meal, they brought out a huge piece of cake
wishing us a happy anniversary.<span> </span>We had
already finished our desserts, so there was no way we could have eaten it last
night.<span> </span>We brought it back with us and
put it in our refrigerator and enjoyed it as dessert today and it was
delicious.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We sailed away from Djupivogur at 4:00 PM and enjoyed a beautiful sail

Day 23<br /></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">Sunday, August 13, 2023</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Today we are at sea and woke up feeling very rested.<span> </span>We slept in until nine and took our time
getting ready before having our breakfast in the Neptune Lounge.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We will be in Reykjavik, Iceland for a two day stay in a couple of days
and we have two ship excursions scheduled.<span>
</span>Unfortunately, there are four other ships scheduled to be in port while we are there and
we have drawn the short straw and will have to tender in instead of
docking.<span> </span>Because we are arriving late,
our first tour is a long one that starts late and doesn’t return until almost
8:00 PM.<span> </span>That’s not a problem except
that our tour the next day starts before 7:00 AM which means a very short turnaround
time for us.<span> </span>We had debated whether to
cancel one of them or just tough it out and do it and this morning we decided
to cancel the one on the first day and replace it with a shorter one.<span> </span>We have already seen some of the things that
the original tour we had scheduled would be visiting, so this seemed like the
best solution.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We sat down with Alexa, the Neptune Lounge Concierge, and she took care
of everything for us and rescheduled our tours.<span> </span>We will still have
a very early morning the second day, but we will have gotten a good night’s
sleep at least.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We spent the rest of the morning relaxing and catching up on things.<span> </span>I wrote up the blog for yesterday and Val
took care of some business on her computer.<span>
</span>Around one we had lunch in the Lido and then I made the mistake of
suggesting we go to casino after lunch and regretted it as neither of us had
any luck.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">After that I downloaded our photos from yesterday and then spent the rest
of the afternoon relaxing and reading.<span>
</span>Once again, it is very cold and cloudy outside with heavy fog at
times.<span> </span>We have enjoyed our balcony for the
scenic viewing, but the weather has made it useless for relaxing.<span> </span>That’s not surprising though as we are
traveling through the far north.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Tomorrow is our 41<sup>st</sup> wedding anniversary so we are going to
have our anniversary dinner in the Pinnacle Grill (a ship specialty restaurant)
tonight to celebrate a day early.<span> </span>We had originally planned to
have it on our anniversary, but there is a special event tomorrow night that we
aren’t interested in, so we are doing it a day early.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our reservation was for 7:30 and after getting ready, we headed off to the Pinnacle Grill.<span> </span>To be honest, we were disappointed
with our dinner, the service was, as always, outstanding and we ran into our
Al, our dining steward from the first half of the cruise, and had a nice chat
with him.<span> </span>I had lobster bisque and Val
had crab cakes both of which were quite good, but things went downhill from
there when we both ordered porcini crusted Alaskan halibut that was
unfortunately overcooked and very mushy, very disappointing.<span> </span>Our desserts were fine with Val having key
lime pie and baked Alaska for me, but the halibut kind of spoiled the
meal.<span> </span>Oh well, we had a great time
anyway and enjoyed celebrating our anniversary.<span>

</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We of course finished the evening in the casino, and I really got to
celebrate tonight. I don’t mean to dwell on our time in the casino, but it has
been unlike any other cruise for us.<span> </span>I
have been having bad luck lately and have been kept afloat by Val’s generous
gift after her big win, but tonight was my night.<span> </span>I was playing the same machine Val got her
big win on and was doing pretty well and up $125 when I spun the reels and
eight quick hit symbols came up on the screen, a $890 win.<span> </span>Only one tenth of what Val one, but a very
big win for me.<span> </span>I played down to $1000
and cashed out and returned to the room a very happy guy.<span> </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span></span></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0t3NjJ6NZWeo6mmFtG8dt4ov57Lpe_pgdCyF6il1VMjYDGLEE5mn4P-ObwKtx7CqbJqAdBPVT9UotvMNhVT3Dr1G8lWi0XuLZYHjOGKyJoCzs5DjGzPb9nIXdCtkWdZn9U2z3GxxATm08P95f95smoSTmnsW9ZU3WryNWvajomX2qXEhA1-mq6geaNiE/s1920/230813-212602pd.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1182" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0t3NjJ6NZWeo6mmFtG8dt4ov57Lpe_pgdCyF6il1VMjYDGLEE5mn4P-ObwKtx7CqbJqAdBPVT9UotvMNhVT3Dr1G8lWi0XuLZYHjOGKyJoCzs5DjGzPb9nIXdCtkWdZn9U2z3GxxATm08P95f95smoSTmnsW9ZU3WryNWvajomX2qXEhA1-mq6geaNiE/w246-h400/230813-212602pd.jpg" width="246" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Eight Quick Hits for me. Val got nine and you can see from the pay table above that the ninth Quick Hit symbol more than triples what you win with eight, plus, Val was doing a bonus and had the amount doubled. Oh well, I was more than happy with my win.</span><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Tomorrow we are back in Iceland, and we have to get up a little early for
our tour so when we got back to the room, we called it a night and went to bed
a little early.<br /></span></span></p>

eight hours long and will take us to Harris and the very southern part of the

people and our departure was delayed until they arrived.<span> </span>Unfortunately, when tendering is involved,
there are often delays with people getting ashore which then delays the tours.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We were finally on our way about 45 minutes late and drove out of
Stornoway under cloudy and rainy skies.<span>
</span>Our guide gave us some history as we drove through the small town, and
we learned that the island has a very thin layer of topsoil and that very few
trees grow here.<span> </span>There were quite a few
trees in Stornoway and we learned that the Lady Matherson, the wife of Sir
James Matheson, the British owner of the island back in
the mid 1800’s, had topsoil brought in by filling the empty ships returning
from bringing goods to the mainland with topsoil as ballast.<span> </span>How they loaded and unloaded and got enough
is a puzzle to me, but the large number of trees in the area is proof that it
works.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">As we got out of town, the scenery changed into a stark landscape with no
trees, but grass, peat and heather covered the area and it was very beautiful, it’s a
shame the sun wasn’t out.<span> </span>As it was in
the Shetland Islands, much of the land is peat bogs so there is not much
growing of crops, but there are some cattle being raised, but what we mostly
saw was sheep.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjarrosGLj2Vdl8pAP4mW1lR4Twmycuut1-mgP7rcHEnkkH1hUVWJPkG4oTAiJRHE_9l5IqyMJCAH-ZHxD7xQ8oxXYzZ-r3oVAjSipOpjgI1gu05_TqMSenny-YK9c8vhZMSuV0WamSTJw-zJPeqB39iRGvxljTwJSBeZZUGxlt-20tPn3NAmhSZeiTVMk/s1920/230812-120004d.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1064" data-original-width="1920" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjarrosGLj2Vdl8pAP4mW1lR4Twmycuut1-mgP7rcHEnkkH1hUVWJPkG4oTAiJRHE_9l5IqyMJCAH-ZHxD7xQ8oxXYzZ-r3oVAjSipOpjgI1gu05_TqMSenny-YK9c8vhZMSuV0WamSTJw-zJPeqB39iRGvxljTwJSBeZZUGxlt-20tPn3NAmhSZeiTVMk/w400-h221/230812-120004d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">We spent a lot of time on the bus today so there are a lot of pictures taken from the bus.

It is very rocky and under the shallow layer of grass is peat that you can't grow anything in (but it is great fuel for fireplaces and wood stoves).</span><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

tour.<span> </span>This was also a bathroom stop and
when we arrived, the women’s bathroom was being cleaned and the cleaning lady
would not let anyone in.<span> </span>There was a
single, handicap bathroom, so the women ended up in line waiting for that
bathroom for most of the time while we were at the beach.<span> </span>They tried to get the cleaning lady to allow
partial use and she wasn’t budging and being pretty nasty about it.<span> </span>When we got back on the bus, our tour guide
apologized profusely about this and said she had spoken to the camp manager and
he had said this shouldn’t have happened and spoke to the cleaning lady, but this
didn’t help the ladies on this trip.<span> </span>It
may not seem like too big of a deal, but restrooms are rare and far apart in
this area and most of the ladies on this tour, including Val, spent most of their
time at this stop waiting in line.</span></span><p></p>

surrounding area. The church itself was
somewhat interesting mostly because it was so old, but the surrounding area was
beautiful.<span> </span>The weather continued to be
kind to us, and it had actually turned warm enough to not wear our jackets.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

more rugged.<span> </span>The only kind of farming we
saw was sheep grazing and they were everywhere, even on the narrow roads which made
driving a bit challenging.<span> </span>On this
remote part of the island, some of the roads were only one lane with turnouts
for oncoming vehicles.<span> </span>It was quite a
challenge for our driver (Ivar the bus driver) to maneuver the large bus
around.</span></span><p></p>

that separates Lewis from Harris.<span> </span>We had

our way into the Harris Hotel where lunch was supposed to be served; they
didn’t know anything about us coming.<span> </span>After
waiting around a while in confusion, our guide found out that her tour
coordinator had changed the lunch venue and failed to tell her.</span></span></p>

to the Herbrides Hotel where they were waiting for us.<span> </span>We had a surprisingly good lunch of what
amounted to an excellent chicken pie with chive mash (mashed potatoes in the

on the bus.<span> </span>The advantage of being one
of the first on the bus is that it allows you to sit near the front.<span> </span>When you have a tour bus full of 30 or 40
people, it takes time to unload at the various stops so being near the front
means you get off quickly.</span></span></p>

Belfast and the ship.<span> </span>The first part of
the drive back was very scenic that varied from a drive through the country to
along the coast.<span> </span>This turned out to be
a pretty good tour, nothing too exciting but interesting, nonetheless.<span> </span>Our guide was okay and provided us with a lot
of information, but also spent a lot of time talking about the Titanic that was
built in Belfast.<span> </span>It was interesting, but
he went on and on.</span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">On the way back, he spent even longer talking about Irish whiskey
comparing it to other whiskeys and extolling its virtues.<span> </span>Again, at first it was interesting, but he
went on and on about that as well.<span> </span>He
was obviously a whiskey aficionado, but most of us weren’t all that interested
in hearing all the minute details.<span>
</span>Anyway, he was fine and was very nice, but compared to our other recent
guides he fell a little short.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjewbvTrEyMXeWTB81U92IcYAtHSRSDF5gpjL7OOB10Fuv8n5cQJDAdETteSOx9fg9Gu1NKVU9GrEKQky353kNRouyhpSSwXjv-pTPPY_XRFchBjQvHlBrDcYfhiAGMP0ejXtuoiTb_2EHwxkBguY8v1VRKqsypGsHmUFfC9A1_zGYqGeij3oQXO4r2yhY/s1920/230811-130722d.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1054" data-original-width="1920" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjewbvTrEyMXeWTB81U92IcYAtHSRSDF5gpjL7OOB10Fuv8n5cQJDAdETteSOx9fg9Gu1NKVU9GrEKQky353kNRouyhpSSwXjv-pTPPY_XRFchBjQvHlBrDcYfhiAGMP0ejXtuoiTb_2EHwxkBguY8v1VRKqsypGsHmUFfC9A1_zGYqGeij3oQXO4r2yhY/w400-h220/230811-130722d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">A couple more pictures from the bus on the way back.<br /></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><span></span></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhep2Y-7I6MHcPNzkpfPnpNub4Iaqmr4Tp8ffKXB5ZBi48CjU1OwwK2dFP8aQhypF_2IWuwokcGJPeTgP0mJoFdFINTIXtYH-KEPJ4L2SglFORAYu61O0Rs0DWoj6HrYqu8laejGsvql4jGSguVMcyFZciR137hAq04H2Kk1BguNN5PXnwqRDbJXgUzdRs/s1920/230811-131418d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1459" data-original-width="1920" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhep2Y-7I6MHcPNzkpfPnpNub4Iaqmr4Tp8ffKXB5ZBi48CjU1OwwK2dFP8aQhypF_2IWuwokcGJPeTgP0mJoFdFINTIXtYH-KEPJ4L2SglFORAYu61O0Rs0DWoj6HrYqu8laejGsvql4jGSguVMcyFZciR137hAq04H2Kk1BguNN5PXnwqRDbJXgUzdRs/w400-h304/230811-131418d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><p></p>

shops that were around the pier.<span> </span>I found
a t-shirt for myself and Val found some more gifts for Christmas.<span> </span>By the time we got back on the ship, we were
very hungry, and the Lido Buffet had closed, so we got our lunch in the Neptune
Lounge.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing, but I did update the blog as
we have another port and tour tomorrow, so I have to keep up.<span> </span>We did see a sobering scene right below our
balcony this afternoon and they were loading a lady into an ambulance.<span> </span>She was still somewhat mobile, so we hope it
wasn’t anything too serious, but it is always sad to see someone have to leave
the ship in the middle of a cruise.</span></span></p>

Day 20</span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">Thursday, August 10, 2023</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Today we are docked in <a href="https://www.ireland.com/en-us/destinations/county/cork/cobh/" target="_blank">Cobh</a> (pronounced Cove) and this is the first time we have visited this area. Cobh is a small town on an island in Cork's Harbor. </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_(city)" target="_blank">Cork</a> is much larger than Cobh and has a population of 222,000. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobh">C</a>obh is known for being the last port the Titanic visited before its ill fated journey across the Atlantic. You can visit The <a href="https://www.titanicexperiencecobh.ie/" target="_blank">Titanic Experience Cobh</a> in the old White Star Line ticket office while you are there, and many of the people on our ship did that during our visit.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Another popular place to visit in the area is <a href="https://blarneycastle.ie/" target="_blank">Blarney Castle</a>
that has the well known Blarney Stone. It is only about a thirty
minute drive from Cobh to Blarney Castle and a lot of people took tours
to "kiss the Blarney Stone". Although the castle and gardens looked
beautiful, kissing the Blarney Stone didn't appeal to us. I had watched a video where people were waiting in line several hours to do that and
besides the long wait, do you really want to put your lips on something
thousands of other people do every day?</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> <br /></span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcN6yOZbd6by_U8fVjkPoSI-MEN9y8YCtA-uIi0gz-4C-ez0-HHEqsg2tNjSgWYB2g0s-78iF2c6YHVYyEL9MaGtpY0n6SxpmyJ1eA4pHbV_7PMOEqNvKFgTgJQ5Mj1u-VSPb-_JA3O6-ChO0MxJFFYwtShoamXaNcZhPkwO30k5Kebh-clFFwBrlWnlM/s1920/Cork%20and%20Kinsale%20MAp.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1658" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcN6yOZbd6by_U8fVjkPoSI-MEN9y8YCtA-uIi0gz-4C-ez0-HHEqsg2tNjSgWYB2g0s-78iF2c6YHVYyEL9MaGtpY0n6SxpmyJ1eA4pHbV_7PMOEqNvKFgTgJQ5Mj1u-VSPb-_JA3O6-ChO0MxJFFYwtShoamXaNcZhPkwO30k5Kebh-clFFwBrlWnlM/w552-h640/Cork%20and%20Kinsale%20MAp.jpg" width="552" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">A more detailed map of the area around Cobh (marker in the upper right).

which will take us on a drive through the countryside to the seaside town of
Kinsale”.<span> </span>The excursion didn’t leave
until noon, but we were up at 8:00 AM as we wanted to take advantage of one of
the perks we get by booking a suite and eat breakfast in the Pinnacle Grill, which is an
upscale restaurant that normally costs extra to go to.<span> </span>It is only open for breakfast for suite
guests and there is no extra charge.<span>
</span>Despite the fact that this is supposed to have better food, our breakfast was
a little disappointing mainly due to the scrambled eggs that Val and I had
chosen being under cooked, runny and not very good.<span>
</span>The rest of the meal was fine, and the service, as always, was excellent.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We spent the rest of the morning relaxing and getting our things together
and then around 11:45, headed to the World Stage to wait for our tour to be
called.<span> </span>Things seemed to be a bit
delayed as we didn’t get called to our tour until almost 12:30.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Unfortunately, when we got up this
morning, we saw that the weather was very overcast and dark with rain predicted
today.<span> </span>There was also some fog that
reduced visibility, but what can you do, as the weather is just what it
is.<span> </span>When we left the ship, it had
started to rain, but the buses were nearby so we didn’t get very wet, and we did
have our rain gear with us.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The drive from the dock to Kinsale took us through some beautiful countryside.
We followed the coast for a while and then turned inland where the land is very
lush and green with a lot of agriculture.<span>
</span>Although the weather remained very cloudy, it did stop raining and the
temperature was very mild, so we weren’t cold.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsale" target="_blank">Kinsale</a> is a historic town located on a small harbor and we made one stop
at Fort Charles that was on a hilltop that gave us a view of the town and harbor
below.<span> </span>We weren’t able to go into the
fort as we didn’t have enough time, but the view was great.<span> </span>We drove on into Kinsale and had two hours to explore on our own. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIOwX7NQoSbfcr640ARflltaZJHRKKWtPG8vV-YtgqJUkP5OcWusHE-EthOZ3Yz-iOWOQoixuvVRbmQbKmePU6ygiKPu0doyUlaLPb6UjMSCvQRVdoDibnUjSdR2SjnWNxTC-UvI5NsCUrbFW53Z40rN8ADaq2DryvoosU5lARwD6_-iTtcXjVzAUxiFE/s1920/230810-132451d.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1036" data-original-width="1920" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIOwX7NQoSbfcr640ARflltaZJHRKKWtPG8vV-YtgqJUkP5OcWusHE-EthOZ3Yz-iOWOQoixuvVRbmQbKmePU6ygiKPu0doyUlaLPb6UjMSCvQRVdoDibnUjSdR2SjnWNxTC-UvI5NsCUrbFW53Z40rN8ADaq2DryvoosU5lARwD6_-iTtcXjVzAUxiFE/w400-h216/230810-132451d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Fort Charles<br /></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqWWAexiPxynHfzWbVSS8WbCG882BFirCLVqo5CDeVWJcWLO3_t6Y3XkcHUegfuXd6vW813HlAvz1oiL3bytbYri554FFMmXFGj9WUsThjzbMRrzqxMvehTGqaqEXmGREYZjzCDcxxU1dVvwqcGngI6VDmm1s9n4U9bfp9dEOctNJXFzJ3yOYODPWEq1U/s1920/230810-132517d.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1111" data-original-width="1920" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqWWAexiPxynHfzWbVSS8WbCG882BFirCLVqo5CDeVWJcWLO3_t6Y3XkcHUegfuXd6vW813HlAvz1oiL3bytbYri554FFMmXFGj9WUsThjzbMRrzqxMvehTGqaqEXmGREYZjzCDcxxU1dVvwqcGngI6VDmm1s9n4U9bfp9dEOctNJXFzJ3yOYODPWEq1U/w400-h231/230810-132517d.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Kinsale across the bay.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table></span></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZZhxskNiQ8eb-yb5Ir4LlmEOGMYm4ug6GZvHYm3Xh0WNsTG-x4oY3Ep0hyRQntL69vqc9pF-nvnZnQiRFoWh5ORo9-ttCt2YYwq5HxLxyu1owafJIrdJCuhu7hL0EXhJn0mfTJbZD4C-oZMfV9Py4JEk_XpkYtP3hcB8DH53j-HZA0coiU2WDmovelZg/s1920/230810-132748d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1085" data-original-width="1920" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZZhxskNiQ8eb-yb5Ir4LlmEOGMYm4ug6GZvHYm3Xh0WNsTG-x4oY3Ep0hyRQntL69vqc9pF-nvnZnQiRFoWh5ORo9-ttCt2YYwq5HxLxyu1owafJIrdJCuhu7hL0EXhJn0mfTJbZD4C-oZMfV9Py4JEk_XpkYtP3hcB8DH53j-HZA0coiU2WDmovelZg/w400-h226/230810-132748d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh--7L222Y5zK_2tmnt5v-V4VaOHCBaP6RFBHpPQP0hJ-8RsgTPEUFtqEcg9cy29sAUnVPk_IVVdvA0U5VntirxnjVJp4yH89fo-D0lb6jBhlprVO-y5DBKkMcnj2Jzx7zfgrgkm4zxcYIRtq_I_tlZMjOl8WF_yKnhG-jTK9vioRfqzlrRaLQ2fWot8uM/s1920/230810-132808d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1181" data-original-width="1920" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh--7L222Y5zK_2tmnt5v-V4VaOHCBaP6RFBHpPQP0hJ-8RsgTPEUFtqEcg9cy29sAUnVPk_IVVdvA0U5VntirxnjVJp4yH89fo-D0lb6jBhlprVO-y5DBKkMcnj2Jzx7zfgrgkm4zxcYIRtq_I_tlZMjOl8WF_yKnhG-jTK9vioRfqzlrRaLQ2fWot8uM/w400-h246/230810-132808d.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Kinsale is a small picturesque town of around 5,000, and we enjoyed walking along the harbor and then through town exploring the

She became famous as she was one of the few female pirates. She was captured and sentenced to be hung, but pleaded to be spared as she was pregnant at the time. Her hanging was postponed, and her fate is unknown, but her death is recorded a short time later and it is speculated she was either hanged or died in childbirth. It is an interesting story and you can find out <a href="http://www.thewayofthepirates.com/famous-pirates/anne-bonny/" target="_blank">more here</a>. <br /></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

bit and stopped at one of the local pubs where I sampled a Murphy’s, a local
beer from the Cork area.<span> </span>I am not a big
beer drinker, but I did try a Guiness when we were in Dublin so I thought I
should try something that Cork had to offer.<span>
</span>The bartender at the pub told me that some Americans had come in and
ordered Coors (which they surprisingly had on tap), but he couldn’t figure out
why they had come all this way only to drink what they could get at home.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs8bQFaJcaqQI-N1r4QkFmBVffHISOw3mxJoA8ItLiXim9aseIdB5dZZDkobuYJ2fQPCM1iQfxl4S8yh86VqbJuYoq89-yCTG_Yke4Tnc6vFt--1DTEfXyZW_fvZPm1Y3XYQ7xKp_8_yDwyKI4XekgNElZkfTs9Y8rqoaaSmT5UNAWv9A2zerayDKKj4E/s1920/230810-142959pv.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1065" data-original-width="1920" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs8bQFaJcaqQI-N1r4QkFmBVffHISOw3mxJoA8ItLiXim9aseIdB5dZZDkobuYJ2fQPCM1iQfxl4S8yh86VqbJuYoq89-yCTG_Yke4Tnc6vFt--1DTEfXyZW_fvZPm1Y3XYQ7xKp_8_yDwyKI4XekgNElZkfTs9Y8rqoaaSmT5UNAWv9A2zerayDKKj4E/w400-h223/230810-142959pv.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxA4NqGtGiOuxwg3TBpJOdmFFhZh8ieRU6q3RhzxfOkd34kXLW6qPoywD0x9oqr4-eYfttmKnsPafK8IBdFAf22Ts02deZWWSr1XkAJqM_JHhb137l40ZA5XHMdhwYwDZHzNsytyvfAFQVCo6IR3GKCtxRR9I6bFG_Y0Dl-X1_4vC5bVI8N33M7nZxVKs/s1920/230810-143129d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1277" data-original-width="1920" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxA4NqGtGiOuxwg3TBpJOdmFFhZh8ieRU6q3RhzxfOkd34kXLW6qPoywD0x9oqr4-eYfttmKnsPafK8IBdFAf22Ts02deZWWSr1XkAJqM_JHhb137l40ZA5XHMdhwYwDZHzNsytyvfAFQVCo6IR3GKCtxRR9I6bFG_Y0Dl-X1_4vC5bVI8N33M7nZxVKs/w400-h266/230810-143129d.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDHc4pXmbCJTLlCRAH_RRip5NI0OFbUMCqp4_6-Dyxx6vGUw_NejJPxR3w3nePTDDEqlA-NIuKwu7HobHoWPpgAUWOGO3mqQa5KtP2NLjSXuGCUAO69AGY4dTQghhHzCjSFIyck6HBL5qhsTo5hipD7RLAVysOh4lw_u9p2fEhB2ZOKhLLkiPBfwZZh9U/s1060/230810-143510pv.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1060" data-original-width="1044" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDHc4pXmbCJTLlCRAH_RRip5NI0OFbUMCqp4_6-Dyxx6vGUw_NejJPxR3w3nePTDDEqlA-NIuKwu7HobHoWPpgAUWOGO3mqQa5KtP2NLjSXuGCUAO69AGY4dTQghhHzCjSFIyck6HBL5qhsTo5hipD7RLAVysOh4lw_u9p2fEhB2ZOKhLLkiPBfwZZh9U/w394-h400/230810-143510pv.jpg" width="394" /></a></div><br />After finishing my beer, we felt rested and wandered around a bit more
and then headed back to where the bus was going to pick us up.<span> </span>We made it with about ten minutes to spare
and luckily the bus showed up right away as it started to rain again, but this
time a little harder.</span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We were on the bus before we got too wet and started the drive back.<span> </span>We took a slightly different route through
some very scenic countryside, but we had a limited view as everything was
shrouded in clouds and mist.<span> </span>Except for
the few main roads, the roads in this area are very narrow which made for a
real challenge for the driver of our big bus.<span> </span>He’d obviously done this before as he
handled it without problem, but I was impressed especially in Kinsale that was
very busy with very narrow roads.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We got to the ship past the all aboard time, but because we were on a
ship excursion, they waited for us.<span> </span>The
rain had stopped by the time we arrived at the ship, so we made it on board
without getting wet.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The sail out of the harbor was supposed to be very beautiful, but
unfortunately, the fog had returned and there was nothing to see.<span> </span>We spent the rest of the evening relaxing
until it was time for dinner, but I did update the blog as we have two more
port days coming up in a row, so I wanted to make sure to write things up when
they were fresh in my memory.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We had another good dinner tonight and then, as usual, we went to the
casino.<span> </span>After a couple days of losing in
the casino, Val had another big win, not nearly as big as her win a couple of
days ago, but big enough to be one our best wins on a cruise ship.<span> </span>Since Val gifted me some of her winnings, I
have also been winning so maybe some of her luck rubbed off on me via her
money.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Tomorrow we’ll be in Belfast in Northern Ireland.</span></span></p>

Day 19</span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">Wednesday, August 9, 2023</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Val and I both enjoyed the extra hour of sleep last night and woke up
feeling refreshed.<span> </span>After our usual
breakfast in the Neptune Lounge, we spent the morning relaxing in our room as
we were not interested in the lecture scheduled for this morning.<span> </span>I did get the blog up to date, but otherwise,
I accomplished little which was just fine with me as I enjoyed the down time.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We had our lunch a little earlier than usual because we wanted to go to a
talk that started at 1:30 but found the Lido Buffet very crowded.<span> </span>We usually go to lunch after 1:00, and that
is busy enough, but earlier it was even busier.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">After lunch we headed off to the Rolling Stone Lounge to hear a port talk
on our upcoming ports.<span> </span>We arrived 25
minutes early and every seat was filled, and people were standing in the
back.<span> </span>It had already been presented once
this morning and that had evidently been crowded also.<span> </span>I think I mentioned this before, but every
cruise we’ve been on the port talks have been given in the theater, but for
some reason on this cruise they have been put on a low priority.<span> </span>The talks were good enough, but really better
suited for a bigger venue.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">After the talk, Val wanted to go to the casino and try her luck
again.<span> </span>I went with her, but played only
one machine as I didn’t want to use up my daily allotment.<span> </span>After the casino, it was back to our room,
and I downloaded the pictures we took yesterday and then we looked at them and
some earlier ones we hadn’t looked at yet.<span>
</span>I backed everything up and spent the rest of the afternoon reading.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Before we went to dinner, Val surprised me by giving me some of her
winnings from the other day, so I’ll have a little more gambling money for the
trip.<span> </span>That was very generous, thank you
Val, it is much appreciated!<span> </span>That meant
that after dinner when we went to the casino, I had more money to spend and
made the most of it and won a small jackpot.<span>
</span>It wasn’t in the same league as what Val had won, but more of a usual
shipboard win so I was happy, Val’s winnings had brought me luck.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Tomorrow we’ll be in Ireland, but we have a late tour, and won’t have
to get up real early, so we took our time getting back to the room.<span> </span>The weather had turned very foggy; I hope
this doesn’t carry over to our day tomorrow.</span></span></p>

World Heritage Site where 19 of the historic Dutch windmills have been
preserved.<span> </span>Originally this excursion was
full, and we decided to go on our own.<span>
</span>You can take a waterbus to Kinderdijk and then enter the park and we had
also purchased tickets for a boat ride that would take you by the
windmills.<span> </span>After further investigation
we realized that this might be a little risky if the waterbus was full and we
couldn’t get back to the ship. <span> </span>Also, the
waterbus dock was a pretty long walk from the ship, so when two openings became
available on the ship excursion, we changed our plans and booked the ship
excursion.<span> </span>The tickets we had purchased
on our own weren’t very expensive, so we decided to just take the loss.</span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our tour started with a drive through Rotterdam with our guide talking
about the history and highlights of the city.<span>
</span>We found this very interesting as on our previous visit we had gone out
of town on both days and not seen any of the city. In referring to the Netherlands in the past I have used Holland and Netherlands interchangeably, but I found out today that is wrong. Holland is just one area in The Netherlands, so the correct name for the country is always Netherlands.<span> </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">As we left the city, our guide pointed out a
shipyard that builds very luxurious yachts for the very rich including ones recently
for Jeff Bezos and Stephen Spielberg.<span>
</span>She told us that after Bezos’s boat was built, it was actually too large
to fit under the bridge and Bezos had said he would pay to have the bridge
taken down and reassembled <a href="https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/money-and-power/a38973492/jeff-bezos-yacht-bridge-rotterdam-destruction/" target="_blank">(link to story</a>).<span> </span>That didn’t
sit very well with the local Dutch so that never came to fruition, and they
ended up taking down some of the upper parts of the yacht to clear the
bridge.<span> </span>I had read a brief article about
that when it happened, but this gave me the full details.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPLKdOuPUOvVUKOv_cYVFtBLHld3hNq5Rw4T2wwXV_OIZXUlh4Kbs-FM0bqo07Pcs9Z4kVrR3WlT_KtGhKxfoC23NTv6n-dfTDv8rpu0nUwMr2Wg58-ZcZPT8fcFrBsAkhZYOdljkelh_kpf1YlwsBLSdvxbjL5ZFw1W1x9qTYSaWiMJXgwGuAg1UJWtc/s1920/230808-083341v-Enhanced-NR.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1691" data-original-width="1920" height="353" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPLKdOuPUOvVUKOv_cYVFtBLHld3hNq5Rw4T2wwXV_OIZXUlh4Kbs-FM0bqo07Pcs9Z4kVrR3WlT_KtGhKxfoC23NTv6n-dfTDv8rpu0nUwMr2Wg58-ZcZPT8fcFrBsAkhZYOdljkelh_kpf1YlwsBLSdvxbjL5ZFw1W1x9qTYSaWiMJXgwGuAg1UJWtc/w400-h353/230808-083341v-Enhanced-NR.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">These are all pictures Val took from the bus, pardon all the reflections.<br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span><br /></span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg90gKUs8w9qHPh9kjXGXZNrSLoFKVSnb1WqFnY7Ju_zDEdlihr-bOF-ensiieO9BBCdWS6ZABeQWBrh1062C78YNqT62BAEt86fFBYRifQPC7JNnh8F4aX_Hus5F7dQ69bQySPo3jg4iJ-5c6vv7ig6PYI_rxaF4JAQnKQmqdPkd74KTlbhxt25d8KxWk/s1920/230808-083514v-Enhanced-NR.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1054" data-original-width="1920" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg90gKUs8w9qHPh9kjXGXZNrSLoFKVSnb1WqFnY7Ju_zDEdlihr-bOF-ensiieO9BBCdWS6ZABeQWBrh1062C78YNqT62BAEt86fFBYRifQPC7JNnh8F4aX_Hus5F7dQ69bQySPo3jg4iJ-5c6vv7ig6PYI_rxaF4JAQnKQmqdPkd74KTlbhxt25d8KxWk/w400-h220/230808-083514v-Enhanced-NR.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">These odd looking buildings are actually homes.

where we first saw a 20 minute movie on the history of the windmills and
their importance to the Dutch.<span> </span>There are 19
windmills in all and most of them are private and still being lived in and
used.<span> </span>The Netherlands is very flat and
much of the land was reclaimed from the seas by the use of dikes.<span> </span>A lot of areas are below sea level and this

back to Rotterdam.<span> </span>Our guide asked us if
we wanted to take a little extra time and drive another way back to the city
and we all agreed.<span> </span>We drove through the
country and saw a more agricultural area that was very green and
beautiful.<span> </span>We arrived back in Rotterdam
and drove through a different part of the city.<span>

comfortable with partly sunny skies and beautiful white clouds.<span> </span>Our guide was very good with lots of
knowledge of Dutch history as well as many local stories to tell.<span> </span>We have been lucky on this cruise to have so
many good guides.</span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We had originally planned to walk across the bridge and explore the city
center, but after getting up early and all the walking we did at the windmills,
we just didn’t feel like any more walking and decided to just return to the
ship.<span> </span>Being 75 is sure different than
being 25 or even 50.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We spent the afternoon relaxing and watching all the activity on the
water from our balcony.<span> </span>The ship was
getting refueled and there was a huge fuel barge tied up to the ship right
below our balcony and there was activity there to watch also.<span> </span>We were supposed to sail away at 5:00 PM, but
as often happens when refueling, our leaving was delayed until after six.<span> </span>There was also supposed to be a sail away
party on the rear Lido Deck, but light rain started to fall so we didn’t go out
for that.<span> </span>Bad weather seems to have
spoiled quite a few of our sail always on this cruise.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZfFxsSRhm0SZQDQo7dV_istel4SZDAJGef6lekmlEqtVg6FGXKJWTqwlfyc5z0coia4U0jwzLPRQNQlt9ITdRbxETJn5jCflhfINgAPTMsrx6TEGYjo3WIYhRrNGp-DgNnCKpaIZ5NogZp4ywxhFinwQ6k077LPgXb37j0vWyrzwUNoHDnzjLbBXzFOQ/s1920/230808-122545pv.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="930" data-original-width="1920" height="194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZfFxsSRhm0SZQDQo7dV_istel4SZDAJGef6lekmlEqtVg6FGXKJWTqwlfyc5z0coia4U0jwzLPRQNQlt9ITdRbxETJn5jCflhfINgAPTMsrx6TEGYjo3WIYhRrNGp-DgNnCKpaIZ5NogZp4ywxhFinwQ6k077LPgXb37j0vWyrzwUNoHDnzjLbBXzFOQ/w400-h194/230808-122545pv.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The weather was beautiful when we got back, but it steadily worsened as it got near evening.<br /></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0gBIdNzIeNtEU-yeRmU-sho21i3_TZ-2BjQC-7e0NT7EdZRFtExgRgEq0293qyt4LWR7WZbhJe6xT7-uWTLXvHTNsGnLyjSbmIKX7qf_TPOAgnRM0dVMtXwKvgDTAcIgjeu3KacmrE_ai73HAd9K40R_mYnpf8ixAn2RKJwoK_txI3qUA7McaXXKoDuc/s1920/230808-131650d.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1022" data-original-width="1920" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0gBIdNzIeNtEU-yeRmU-sho21i3_TZ-2BjQC-7e0NT7EdZRFtExgRgEq0293qyt4LWR7WZbhJe6xT7-uWTLXvHTNsGnLyjSbmIKX7qf_TPOAgnRM0dVMtXwKvgDTAcIgjeu3KacmrE_ai73HAd9K40R_mYnpf8ixAn2RKJwoK_txI3qUA7McaXXKoDuc/w400-h213/230808-131650d.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">There were water taxis everywhere speeding along to get their passengers to their destinations.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table></span></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBSztOwz44PK49I3PqDujOymItqRMlfkRtca4v9_pCU_PpHFPnp3MOC7wO1tU6oD6YdwxjRac20_KanmCr_d_gdQ9S37_teOEtD129P2aIJ3trjfY0LHrLlQgyeYIX5vwvV-oI9l3_ctJT6P05fd8mViMUzeyBFrJ8fXpuJ1McmvkaeBPFTkBoTSWJVQw/s1920/230808-112445d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1161" data-original-width="1920" height="243" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBSztOwz44PK49I3PqDujOymItqRMlfkRtca4v9_pCU_PpHFPnp3MOC7wO1tU6oD6YdwxjRac20_KanmCr_d_gdQ9S37_teOEtD129P2aIJ3trjfY0LHrLlQgyeYIX5vwvV-oI9l3_ctJT6P05fd8mViMUzeyBFrJ8fXpuJ1McmvkaeBPFTkBoTSWJVQw/w400-h243/230808-112445d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ7TIACXAoaD5L1GF9yoFXEFY3sn8j1T_yHfIISmiNXx-YOXgoNljRqs0-U8Vhw5DgGWEBfVncTtiayOBBB4WCisJPWQcc0T_uEir-e_hLxG-6mpV4FaxuO5sCnkeMn8ulc-4IxIW8DHRVmb5fc-sHxes-0cBx4r1oX2S9VVTSpYwkp5ZGT3puaz4g2rU/s1920/230808-112629d.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1210" data-original-width="1920" height="253" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ7TIACXAoaD5L1GF9yoFXEFY3sn8j1T_yHfIISmiNXx-YOXgoNljRqs0-U8Vhw5DgGWEBfVncTtiayOBBB4WCisJPWQcc0T_uEir-e_hLxG-6mpV4FaxuO5sCnkeMn8ulc-4IxIW8DHRVmb5fc-sHxes-0cBx4r1oX2S9VVTSpYwkp5ZGT3puaz4g2rU/w400-h253/230808-112629d.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The ship was being refueled for the trip back to Boston.

Day 17</span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">Monday, August 7, 2023</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Val and I both slept well last night and enjoyed sleeping in.<span> </span>We didn’t want to sleep in too long though,
as we have another early day tomorrow, so we want to get a good night’s sleep
tonight.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There were no lectures that interested us this morning, so after
breakfast in the Neptune Lounge, we relaxed until lunchtime.<span> </span>I did take the time to update the blog, but
mostly we just read and relaxed.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The casino is open on sea days, so Val decided to go down after lunch and
try her luck.<span> </span>She has been winning
lately and had some extra money, but since I have not been winning, I opted to
go back to the room.<span> </span>I was sitting there
reading in our room when I got a WhatsApp text from Val asking me to grab her
ID and bring it to the casino.<span> </span>That can
only mean one thing; she has hit a jackpot larger than $1,200, so I hurried on
down with her driver’s license to see what has happened.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">When I got there, I found her sitting at a slot machine with several
attendants hovering around.<span> </span>I looked at
the cash balance line and saw $871.60 and wondered why she needed an ID for
that, but I looked again and saw that it was actually $8,716, holy s***!!! <span> </span>Val was in a bit of a daze as she filled out
the paperwork, but finally got it done and went to the cashier where they
counted out the money in hundred-dollar bills.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP4o7wMVcdjoHTvCGZ1Djupzwrmw_CQxNs6cJ-EP9gbx0zAt6v8w-TSzH1w1NyO8l4ikZuhKYQ-nhtSzDDLsAJW6fRymmOafFV-jaqprPFEOEwbPxopxzQtlpvPFetns50uzm8d-Cnx99j_O8GgXrQ7Zc4jiOaU5ua-wkZNKsjTTeePpnkZ5Ri5NaGlBk/s1920/230807-140612pd.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1130" data-original-width="1920" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP4o7wMVcdjoHTvCGZ1Djupzwrmw_CQxNs6cJ-EP9gbx0zAt6v8w-TSzH1w1NyO8l4ikZuhKYQ-nhtSzDDLsAJW6fRymmOafFV-jaqprPFEOEwbPxopxzQtlpvPFetns50uzm8d-Cnx99j_O8GgXrQ7Zc4jiOaU5ua-wkZNKsjTTeePpnkZ5Ri5NaGlBk/w400-h235/230807-140612pd.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She got 9 Quick Hit symbols which is the best you can get. The Quick Hit wins are a progressive so it must have been up to almost $4,400 when she won. Another remarkable thing was that she was in a bonus game that payed double when she won so she got twice the amount of the progressive. Unfortunately, Val was so shocked she didn't even think of taking a picture. When you win a progressive jackpot the amount of the jackpot reverts back to it's starting minimum (that's why it shows $3,107.64 in the photo) and goes up slowly until someone wins and it starts all over again. <br /><br /></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><span></span></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwpA-AlqZEO_jMyOXXAvxZYVnLu_wXbhdGqDoAmJr_ucnZz0FtLhNcBPRXKCJos2eCTjKtCDBUpyEZpI9zs9iYkmqeN7UpkrGISH27XdmVvtqxl3r84qt5dBVKKJUN6Se2sRZjM2QB8_AoYhKlEUCnWL2HVkqO-RKG3WqDaSWuw4DyWQT4LM0g5VuI7Zs/s1920/230807-140558pd.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="1920" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwpA-AlqZEO_jMyOXXAvxZYVnLu_wXbhdGqDoAmJr_ucnZz0FtLhNcBPRXKCJos2eCTjKtCDBUpyEZpI9zs9iYkmqeN7UpkrGISH27XdmVvtqxl3r84qt5dBVKKJUN6Se2sRZjM2QB8_AoYhKlEUCnWL2HVkqO-RKG3WqDaSWuw4DyWQT4LM0g5VuI7Zs/w400-h195/230807-140558pd.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipJiYzkYWRgu-EH5kYcMjcvOROmwp9nzcMcgYcRC2z0aJPhsrtnJ-Et9y7qRDig0W4VbL4c5jLlxyQtcJzIUVz3COzLr8hx8R94GSAY7P1-Tp65SYW7g0QTgys5S3j1t0m6GeXNLz0v0KZb1yF_vZofg94MfDTiUeWWrRgRol9VSIxK0VVADS0PWviuIw/s1920/230807-141012pd.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1203" data-original-width="1920" height="251" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipJiYzkYWRgu-EH5kYcMjcvOROmwp9nzcMcgYcRC2z0aJPhsrtnJ-Et9y7qRDig0W4VbL4c5jLlxyQtcJzIUVz3COzLr8hx8R94GSAY7P1-Tp65SYW7g0QTgys5S3j1t0m6GeXNLz0v0KZb1yF_vZofg94MfDTiUeWWrRgRol9VSIxK0VVADS0PWviuIw/w400-h251/230807-141012pd.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Val getting paid.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQeQJ3g_ygpKWYeg2Q4haSdToDxjJ1eng_btWieExaCn1NpJbdqopX68eIRRNhB0yXL0t4GCXO02joFSJmGtkpxGck2nyyvXfHNNwt7wkPwnyriGUpzio-LN9YwwC0lSYvfr5ThLtFONCj1WtzdvFwAlj0Q2A_qimIDGh7SF7BWXmhj1s5wLYfq3g0mu8/s1920/230807-141121pd.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1130" data-original-width="1920" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQeQJ3g_ygpKWYeg2Q4haSdToDxjJ1eng_btWieExaCn1NpJbdqopX68eIRRNhB0yXL0t4GCXO02joFSJmGtkpxGck2nyyvXfHNNwt7wkPwnyriGUpzio-LN9YwwC0lSYvfr5ThLtFONCj1WtzdvFwAlj0Q2A_qimIDGh7SF7BWXmhj1s5wLYfq3g0mu8/w400-h235/230807-141121pd.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We started back to the room, but Val decided to stay behind and spend a
little of her winnings.<span> </span>I returned to
the room and went back to reading until a short time later when she returned
and showed me a picture on her phone – she had incredibly just won another
$1,120 on another machine!<span> </span>She had won
almost $10,000 in one afternoon; it was her <b>VERY</b> lucky day!<span> </span>Cruise ships are notorious for having low
odds of winning on their slot machines, so that made these wins even more
incredible.<span> </span>Congratulations to Val, I was
very happy for her, but I must admit, I also was a little envious.<span> </span>We spent the rest of the afternoon looking at
each other and just shaking our heads, still finding it a little hard to
believe what had just happened.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMZ_KgV76tH6l5zdxsedFMcBWa-GHoPxNOU4i-bsRawQu-n0G5GT-O39p-oTS5n4u4__mAc6KjrjYPQuTJy_Gwth4By0kvPoXrz7C91TVUqRTKs1Rcu7VZtUf9Ren8RakVelp37IVj7khIA9wRxqLgK1ccUAnUugd4nwPuKS6MkfbKHcUwKjz22heBIng/s1920/230807-143356pv.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1493" data-original-width="1920" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMZ_KgV76tH6l5zdxsedFMcBWa-GHoPxNOU4i-bsRawQu-n0G5GT-O39p-oTS5n4u4__mAc6KjrjYPQuTJy_Gwth4By0kvPoXrz7C91TVUqRTKs1Rcu7VZtUf9Ren8RakVelp37IVj7khIA9wRxqLgK1ccUAnUugd4nwPuKS6MkfbKHcUwKjz22heBIng/w400-h311/230807-143356pv.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Val's second big winner within minutes of being paid for her first one!</span><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgilDwvbvDC5rYWrrLtKvBesiUg98GdH-A7-E98GvRDHVPBUbpzW40-F-_86kipCgEjsi-RdF8q-XYlNwaQ_CpoA3NBDkzjDGiPwPTNOBzH4IwxW5WP1mWV_5dTloVExYlbBfJgSSuPtZC9bHw6_KxSSnxX0yVsYF4domxm2umm9esXuGzW8fIEKJko8TQ/s1920/230807-143430pv.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1305" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgilDwvbvDC5rYWrrLtKvBesiUg98GdH-A7-E98GvRDHVPBUbpzW40-F-_86kipCgEjsi-RdF8q-XYlNwaQ_CpoA3NBDkzjDGiPwPTNOBzH4IwxW5WP1mWV_5dTloVExYlbBfJgSSuPtZC9bHw6_KxSSnxX0yVsYF4domxm2umm9esXuGzW8fIEKJko8TQ/w273-h400/230807-143430pv.jpg" width="273" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our travel agent Ingrid owns the travel agency Gulliver’s Travels in San
Luis Obispo.<span> </span>Gulliver’s Travels is part
of a network of 10,000 independent travel agents who use a company called
Signature Travel to handle their bookings.<span>
</span>This gives smaller travel agencies some of the same clout that larger
companies have in getting discounts and onboard benefits for their
clients.<span> </span>For certain cruises, Signature
Travels has hosts onboard that organize onboard events for their clients’
customers and this cruise is one of them, a first for us.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We missed Signature Travel's first meet and greet, but they had another event late this
afternoon and we attended that one.<span> </span>Each
attendee got a scratcher that if marked with “Winner”, they got a gift and I was one
of the winners and won a pair of nice passport covers .<span> </span>Compared to Val’s win
today, mine was very modest, but it felt good to at least win something.<span> </span>There were 62 of us on board whose travel
agents use Signature Travel, so we got to talk to a few, while enjoying our
favorite non-alcoholic drink onboard, an “Unleaded Margarita”.<span> </span>We spent most of the time talking to Val
(another Val) and Jim who were from Florida.<span>
</span>We had a great time and enjoyed getting together and will definitely
attend the next one.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">After the gathering broke up, we returned to the room and spent the rest
of the evening relaxing until it was time to get ready for dinner.<span> </span>It is another formal night tonight, so we’ll
have to take a little extra time getting ready. We were sailing in the North Sea and began to see big oil platforms in the distance. Back in my working days I made my only previous trip to Scotland to test some equipment for use on those platforms.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4wuWYoqeRtWBkq5zwnDDyEvBynk1qPFP7mkw8oQi3rqcbmZ-BqwXKvc6IK2srDXRZ_o995EqGOw7jTkH1_4CYMuHklrh2F4j1-VoCGFZ_eTS4OOfA3ugu0UPvvUZEbPt2xe3fBIGSaj5FzHqIb0wj0KWOTGpvJ5JGKwJ2E20T5vIgqhR95r_mcwLCCxQ/s1920/230807-192658v.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1920" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4wuWYoqeRtWBkq5zwnDDyEvBynk1qPFP7mkw8oQi3rqcbmZ-BqwXKvc6IK2srDXRZ_o995EqGOw7jTkH1_4CYMuHklrh2F4j1-VoCGFZ_eTS4OOfA3ugu0UPvvUZEbPt2xe3fBIGSaj5FzHqIb0wj0KWOTGpvJ5JGKwJ2E20T5vIgqhR95r_mcwLCCxQ/w400-h300/230807-192658v.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We weren't really this close, Val used her long telephoto to get a closeup picture.<br /></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMtA9xd_nmYiWirJn6_QaSVICkIhG_4ZiJ-dHQSdj1qLuKTzRGEkxxUS7tYEJqZrmJvd-S1LWr11ejkW0XVYnQga4r-57vTXUHZKo23CcDSiVeb7vJk51EOtoCTmmFBqkuM5UT9VgZpIPThTqn1Kq_bno33fhBsii6JaFZDGaFYGTu7qqvzi-FJT2YNmw/s1920/230807-202803d.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1051" data-original-width="1920" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMtA9xd_nmYiWirJn6_QaSVICkIhG_4ZiJ-dHQSdj1qLuKTzRGEkxxUS7tYEJqZrmJvd-S1LWr11ejkW0XVYnQga4r-57vTXUHZKo23CcDSiVeb7vJk51EOtoCTmmFBqkuM5UT9VgZpIPThTqn1Kq_bno33fhBsii6JaFZDGaFYGTu7qqvzi-FJT2YNmw/w400-h219/230807-202803d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">This was taken a little later and you can see the platforms lined up in the distance.</span><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Today we are in <a href="https://www.shetland.org/visit/plan/areas/lerwick" target="_blank">Lerwick</a> in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shetland" target="_blank">Shetland Islands</a> that are part of
Scotland. </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Here is a quote from Wikipedia about the Shetland Islands: “Shetland, also called the Shetland
Islands and formerly Zetland, is an archipelago in Scotland lying between
Orkney, the Faroe Islands, and Norway. It is the northernmost region of the
United Kingdom. The islands lie about 80 km to the northeast of Orkney, 170 km
from mainland Scotland and 220 km west of Norway.". Lerwick is the largest town in the Shetland Islands with a population of 7,000. The total population of the Shetland Islands is only 23,000.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizU-uWoj_AOVA72DK85ilA80jgVjP81OVApFfmxpxt-qHZVrEDmeHRwuVN1k9JAiHXaDyTkVC4kC5wuGWBDoewPvp5vfX2BoZioxusyI1vi_0tjAWogmIjIGkmUE50DAO9LHa1Qf-b6Wp6-OGhOF0IqpB3juspM-VgGzLo5htqTYvDTwTlelp2c8xHBCg/s1920/Akreyri%20to%20Lerwick%20Map.jpg"><img border="0" data-original-height="1289" data-original-width="1920" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizU-uWoj_AOVA72DK85ilA80jgVjP81OVApFfmxpxt-qHZVrEDmeHRwuVN1k9JAiHXaDyTkVC4kC5wuGWBDoewPvp5vfX2BoZioxusyI1vi_0tjAWogmIjIGkmUE50DAO9LHa1Qf-b6Wp6-OGhOF0IqpB3juspM-VgGzLo5htqTYvDTwTlelp2c8xHBCg/w640-h430/Akreyri%20to%20Lerwick%20Map.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0pVmA-C8men1PDVUvdXSqY5t-Q6tpdOXxPIE7431eKS5JpEhJj-xhSrLYaEMBF9TDE87m5fWQHDfh75ItwwfYp7VSuviO--4bW1NKiS0_EXD6iDvBf7exZaJr5koGEz1xcFBDpgFJal97V2e1p71ITgasG-kfTk28NrKWE1Ebm6X2Al0x1boGMdDsNzM/s1920/Shetland,%20Scotland,%20Norway%20Map.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1113" data-original-width="1920" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0pVmA-C8men1PDVUvdXSqY5t-Q6tpdOXxPIE7431eKS5JpEhJj-xhSrLYaEMBF9TDE87m5fWQHDfh75ItwwfYp7VSuviO--4bW1NKiS0_EXD6iDvBf7exZaJr5koGEz1xcFBDpgFJal97V2e1p71ITgasG-kfTk28NrKWE1Ebm6X2Al0x1boGMdDsNzM/w640-h372/Shetland,%20Scotland,%20Norway%20Map.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Scotland lies south of the Shetland Islands and Norway is to the east<br /></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP82-EnluLaRf8Z6DGlOU5Z3CApP3T2UIkJ-FP3_4jrj3bxlMzdLdWWIqTgBl7oQxITaAETlejL6lJT3b1cRsDKFBfrEySVv1bmhEA-zFUSYM-Rw9eH8tKycXkwlw0EEiXNYPVZ-pwaekv_xizirYt3xO7RQwhvnU-Thnwk_7lbeqKNB6vDK8wHvkoB_o/s1920/Shetland%20Islands%202%20Map.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1613" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP82-EnluLaRf8Z6DGlOU5Z3CApP3T2UIkJ-FP3_4jrj3bxlMzdLdWWIqTgBl7oQxITaAETlejL6lJT3b1cRsDKFBfrEySVv1bmhEA-zFUSYM-Rw9eH8tKycXkwlw0EEiXNYPVZ-pwaekv_xizirYt3xO7RQwhvnU-Thnwk_7lbeqKNB6vDK8wHvkoB_o/w538-h640/Shetland%20Islands%202%20Map.jpg" width="538" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Shetland Island.

much more comfortable than what we have been used to lately.<span> </span>It was in the high 50's, and we didn’t
even need our jackets.<span> </span>After a quick
bite in the Neptune Lounge, we headed off to the World Stage to do our
immigration check.<span> </span>There was a pretty
long line, but it went quickly as all they had to do was look at your passport
and make sure it was really you.<span> </span>On the

immigration check and we were on our way.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkabNmQxjgEa6nGsw-oNhBg3U3LrhWOcinknDYB6bDj80Q2REdqbKdzTa14UhvpO8Ov4co6t8OZi5dBDUTC6xE8w70-TK6VDnvqcxD49tKekq5syIjnwvOSamOLa4Bb9q-tmx0Jd3V-cYTj4Z6NmO3ezHcmlC0Fpja-YmIuz_VTsssp0cX3TDV6gV9DHU/s1920/230806-055124d.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1179" data-original-width="1920" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkabNmQxjgEa6nGsw-oNhBg3U3LrhWOcinknDYB6bDj80Q2REdqbKdzTa14UhvpO8Ov4co6t8OZi5dBDUTC6xE8w70-TK6VDnvqcxD49tKekq5syIjnwvOSamOLa4Bb9q-tmx0Jd3V-cYTj4Z6NmO3ezHcmlC0Fpja-YmIuz_VTsssp0cX3TDV6gV9DHU/w400-h246/230806-055124d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">The view from our balcony, the town of Lerwick was on the other side of the ship.</span><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />Although the ship was able to sail into the harbor, it was too shallow to

around the island stopping at various viewpoints.</span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

to blow, and the rain started.<span> </span>We made
it to the bus without getting too wet, but it had cooled down.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Jarshof had been very interesting and we enjoyed the visit, but it was time to head back to Lerwick. Except for one more "comfort stop", we drove straight back. Although Jarshof was the highlight of this tour, driving through the Shetland countryside was very interesting also; it is a beautiful area.<span> </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">By the time we got back to Lerwick, the weather had cleared so Val
and I decided to walk into town as the central part was right across from the
Victoria Pier where the tenders docked.<span>
</span>Unfortunately, today is Sunday and most of the shops and restaurants
were closed, but some were open, so we walked around for a while and checked
out the shops that were open.<span> </span>There was
one café open, and we thought we would get some fish and chips, but when we
walked in, they asked if we had reservations.<span>
</span>Of course, we didn’t, and they said they were so busy today, they
couldn’t accommodate us; I guess that’s what happens when you are the only
place to eat.<span> </span>We did find a food stand
that was selling fish and chips to go, but there was a long line, so we just
decided to return to the ship.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

lots of agriculture and Lerwick seemed to be a nice town.<span> </span>We would definitely like to visit here again.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We were very hungry when we returned to the ship, but it was too late for
lunch, so we went to the Neptune Lounge to get some snacks to tide us over
until dinner.<span> </span>At 5:00 I went out on the
rear Lido Deck for the sail away, but noticed there was hardly anyone
there.<span> </span>As I walked out onto the open
deck I understood why; it had started to rain again.<span> </span>I returned to our room and watched the sail
away from under the cover of our balcony.<span>
</span>The rain moved on fairly quickly and the sun even poked through a bit in
places.<span> </span>It was a beautiful area to sail

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It was soon time for dinner and the casino and then back to our room and
an early bedtime.<span> </span>Not only were we very
tired from getting up early this morning, but they announced there was another
time change and we would lose another hour of sleep tonight.<span> </span>I thought we were done with that, but they
did say this would be that last one.<span>
</span>Tomorrow is a sea day so we can catch up on our sleep.</span></span></p>Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06234758246338439969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998588848972934139.post-53625140361607526852023-09-15T22:09:00.000-07:002023-09-15T22:09:19.296-07:00Voyage of the Vikings Redux – Sea Day<p><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Day 15 </span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">Saturday, August 5, 2023</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">After getting up early yesterday and losing an hour of sleep last night due to
another time zone change, we slept in late and relaxed this morning.<span> </span>We did go to a morning lecture on the history
of the Shetland Islands where we’ll be visiting next.<span> </span>It was an interesting lecture, but again,
nothing about the port itself.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">After the lecture, I caught up on the blog and then we went to lunch in
the Lido.<span> </span>From lunch we went directly
back to the World Stage to see a lecture on the North Atlantic Sea birds.<span> </span>I am not much of a bird watcher, but after
our visit to Vigur Island to see the Puffins, Eider Ducks and Arctic Terns, we
were interested in finding out more about them.<span>
</span>It was an interesting lecture, and we learned a lot.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">From the lecture, we went straight to the Rolling Stone Lounge where they
were having an informational talk and questions on the town of Lerwick in the
Shetland Islands where we’ll be tomorrow.<span> </span>Port talks are what we have really missed on
this trip, and we enjoyed this one and got some good information on
Lerwick.<span> </span>I don’t know whether they have
been doing these the whole cruise and we missed them because they weren’t in
the main theater or they just started them, but we will be keeping our eye out for
them in the future.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">After that, it was back to the room where Val and I caught up on some
e-mails and I finished bringing the blog up to date.<span> </span>It was dinner as usual and Val had another
good night in the casino.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Tomorrow we’ll be in Lerwick in the Shetland Islands that are part of
Scotland.<span> </span>Several days ago, we received
a notice that British Immigration was requiring a face-to-face passport check that
everyone on the ship had to do.<span> </span>That
would start at 7:00 AM so that meant we would have to get up early tomorrow
which meant an early bedtime for us.<span>
</span>Unfortunately for us, Val’s success in the casino meant we didn’t get
back early as she sat for a long time at one slot machine and got bonus after
bonus.<span> </span>She would be ready to cash out
then hit another bonus and continue to play.<span>
</span>We will pay the price for this success when the alarm goes off tomorrow
morning.</span></span></p>

8:30, we were up at seven.<span> </span>Thankfully
this is not a tender port, and we are docked so it makes getting off the ship
much easier.<span> </span>Val booked a private tour
for today that we are sharing with Carl and Aileen, a couple Val had found on
the Cruise Critic Roll Call.<span> </span>After
getting ready and a quick breakfast in the Neptune Lounge, we got off the ship
at 8:15.<span> </span>The weather was cool and overcast, but the
prediction was for temperatures in the high 50’s F.</span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiJ2l1pIIC2L1kVLCXgskp3q_bg00zBx9v4y6kyItad9_XLASlPo8tLYuP5G1Rh_iOt6uAcozM48IgylZOl0rGuGUuK4RyHaSZjvgfg-spWooc7ceMOLLUMFb3JrcHba4RUgceM9FwZ-aTdJd49yWNlnTaJWjHU5qJuuwo1KcNUy5J4A8hi21meoOHOx0/s1920/230804-071948d.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="840" data-original-width="1920" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiJ2l1pIIC2L1kVLCXgskp3q_bg00zBx9v4y6kyItad9_XLASlPo8tLYuP5G1Rh_iOt6uAcozM48IgylZOl0rGuGUuK4RyHaSZjvgfg-spWooc7ceMOLLUMFb3JrcHba4RUgceM9FwZ-aTdJd49yWNlnTaJWjHU5qJuuwo1KcNUy5J4A8hi21meoOHOx0/w400-h175/230804-071948d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Views from our balcony.<br /></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><span></span></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQf26nY4FrPseOkAe8VoVE5B88EkeBgc-kC97LAA0P6gqMCF8dLa8hL_6GSc8k9V_wgqt9CMwZ6tit1H3h6XnqZ3X3fMbVf7m-djcFIjdKnDegeN97-7CHAFqHX5QZUcdBaXvaActTEhrZIrRJArznJImEVQxiFW6UyAHxExIjSRO0HxQSvrGkRjIH4D4/s1920/230804-073032d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1277" data-original-width="1920" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQf26nY4FrPseOkAe8VoVE5B88EkeBgc-kC97LAA0P6gqMCF8dLa8hL_6GSc8k9V_wgqt9CMwZ6tit1H3h6XnqZ3X3fMbVf7m-djcFIjdKnDegeN97-7CHAFqHX5QZUcdBaXvaActTEhrZIrRJArznJImEVQxiFW6UyAHxExIjSRO0HxQSvrGkRjIH4D4/w400-h266/230804-073032d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />After getting off the ship, Val waited at the gangway for Carl and Aileen

Iceland is a very rugged and mountainous country and the coastlines are not at all straight so road building can be difficult and the routes are often not very direct. This can be very isolating for communities so Iceland has built tunnels that cut through the mountain saving hours of driving time. </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span>There are eleven tunnels built so far and two of them are between </span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ólafsfjörður and</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span>Siglufjörður. There is a southern and northern tunnel collectively called the</span><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Héðinsfjarðargöng. The longest tunnel is the southern tunnel that is 4.3 miles long while the northern one is 2.3 miles long. These are one lane tunnels and are a little unnerving if you are not used to them. There are turnouts for northbound traffic so if you see car lights ahead you have to pull over into the next turnout to let the southbound traffic pass. Gertrude is used to this and drove through expertly, but I wonder what happens when tourists find themselves driving through these. All in all, we drove through four tunnels today, but only these two were single lane; all the newer tunnels built are two lane.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span>Here is a short description of </span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span>Siglufjörður</span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span> from Google: </span><span>"</span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span>Siglufjörður is a small fishing town in a narrow fjord with the

The population in 2011 was 1,206; the town has been shrinking in size
since the 1950s when the town reached its peak of 3,000 inhabitants". </span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span>Siglufjörður was the herring fishing capital of the Atlantic during her heyday, but the area was over fished and the herring disappeared and the town started to decline.

When the herring boat came in and unloaded their catches, the "herring girls" took over and processed the herring and loaded them into barrels. They were paid by the barrel and worked until the herring were all processed no matter how long it took, a very grueling job. There were pictures in the museum of the docks with barrels of herring on them and there were literally thousands of barrels.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span>We were all getting hungry and discussing where to eat when the discussion got around to the surprising popularity of Icelandic hot dogs with tourists. Hot dogs are a guilty pleasure of Val and mine, so we said, let's go have an Icelandic hot dog and every one agreed and that's what we had for lunch. Because our guide was a local she knew right where to go. The hot dogs are similar to our hot dogs, but they are made of lamb and they were very good.</span></span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUSH99dRAR3G5XnUdqICEA1UKAS3klT2MLyIu0NugQbcWYpvRHjAwdqR2sEEqa_3SWUnUitq0jrOWwZK564HFxEs6fxU9r0zJn9AbVpdiAmrHGHE6kyrLowpyaIr8N22YXJMRk2C9VZ_L4BNblD94uC2B_g8lpaLXm0h447u2XG_QcKKeIWMlhjUSuE3M/s1920/230804-120323v-Enhanced-NR.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1289" data-original-width="1920" height="269" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUSH99dRAR3G5XnUdqICEA1UKAS3klT2MLyIu0NugQbcWYpvRHjAwdqR2sEEqa_3SWUnUitq0jrOWwZK564HFxEs6fxU9r0zJn9AbVpdiAmrHGHE6kyrLowpyaIr8N22YXJMRk2C9VZ_L4BNblD94uC2B_g8lpaLXm0h447u2XG_QcKKeIWMlhjUSuE3M/w400-h269/230804-120323v-Enhanced-NR.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This was the sign in the hot dog place advertising a hot dog and a bottle of Coke (or Diet Coke) for 699 Icelandic Kronas.

an interesting tour and we got a much better look at what life in Akureyri was
like.</span></span>
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Gertrude also showed us where she lived, which was on the hillside across
the bay from where the ship was docked.<span>
</span>It was a beautiful home with a wonderful view.<span> </span>Her husband came out and chatted with us for
a bit and then it was time to head for the ship.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Gertrude had one more surprise for us before we returned to the
ship.<span> </span>She drove us into the harbor area
where she had a friend who had a business smoking salmon and selling it.<span> </span>We were given samples of the freshly smoked
salmon and it was delicious, what a treat!</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzWAfHb5ox48IDa1krFk1nquOg-P5XL6O1GpqCFOF2fPky5dVVjmX57JK6Edb-POhu2vFRQ8BARlcIoTQRHMk8rdbzQUTD2awQsMAmfliQN5OdC_R_cg5PkwlPaX5QNRY38wOuM_5f7BLBt1cqPwKmzjDB8y1TDIPWKRQDx0NZ5Z-4WYSAk83w0JEgieo/s1920/230804-145340v-Enhanced-NR.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1518" data-original-width="1920" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzWAfHb5ox48IDa1krFk1nquOg-P5XL6O1GpqCFOF2fPky5dVVjmX57JK6Edb-POhu2vFRQ8BARlcIoTQRHMk8rdbzQUTD2awQsMAmfliQN5OdC_R_cg5PkwlPaX5QNRY38wOuM_5f7BLBt1cqPwKmzjDB8y1TDIPWKRQDx0NZ5Z-4WYSAk83w0JEgieo/w400-h316/230804-145340v-Enhanced-NR.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Some of the salmon drying in Gertrude's friend's shop.

hearing her stories and getting to know her as she showed us the area that she
obviously loved.<span> </span>She also was wonderful
in accommodating Aileen all day, making sure she saw the sights and assisting
her in walking or pushing her wheelchair over the longer distances.<span> </span>I would highly recommend Gertrude and <a href="https://www.startravel.is/" target="_blank">Star Travel</a> for anyone visiting Akureyri.</span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We were back on the ship about fifteen minutes before the all aboard
time, so we had made a full day of it.<span> </span>The
ship sailed away at 4:00 PM and it was very scenic, but the weather had cooled
and there was a stiff wind blowing which made it too cold for us as we didn’t
feel like getting all bundled up to stand outside.<span> </span>I did grab a few pictures, but we spent the
rest of the afternoon relaxing until it was time for dinner.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN1RunhEE5fTdOQHJVgNJ8NlJIRuw9idDmFkd-PTBvWltlI_4gn-vnquZd0vIPvjZHyyz57D5ak9Lw8yf7KIQii13WFbhQFwBrkHNZ9hEOXASaGT-eHU7TmK4nvMhiiFfwi7FcVBxXCeNQGmDKW3c5p_ZE8FL7t55BiTkSKv515_PCyor_8HCVAML2MAg/s1920/230804-180819d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="861" data-original-width="1920" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN1RunhEE5fTdOQHJVgNJ8NlJIRuw9idDmFkd-PTBvWltlI_4gn-vnquZd0vIPvjZHyyz57D5ak9Lw8yf7KIQii13WFbhQFwBrkHNZ9hEOXASaGT-eHU7TmK4nvMhiiFfwi7FcVBxXCeNQGmDKW3c5p_ZE8FL7t55BiTkSKv515_PCyor_8HCVAML2MAg/w400-h180/230804-180819d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib8l4Rgm5jORLSxsyYzdACKNDBPnYMgfAGR0ksEqjxWnAfgHKeqKSUoXEr5mvsG7NXn4-z72nEGA4vUjs_R1-zlYl778sdnYMX9YFDQSBqjtPHOOSLedCg_8KfHP249y04iOgUdKa4KiKtXYITtIECdwkQzB_e2wUcOikzbXlmK_xvcywr_PiPz46HIAw/s1920/230804-183216d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="597" data-original-width="1920" height="125" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib8l4Rgm5jORLSxsyYzdACKNDBPnYMgfAGR0ksEqjxWnAfgHKeqKSUoXEr5mvsG7NXn4-z72nEGA4vUjs_R1-zlYl778sdnYMX9YFDQSBqjtPHOOSLedCg_8KfHP249y04iOgUdKa4KiKtXYITtIECdwkQzB_e2wUcOikzbXlmK_xvcywr_PiPz46HIAw/w400-h125/230804-183216d.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></span></span><p></p>

luck ran out and we both lost our gambling allotment for the night.<span> </span>We lose another hour of sleep tonight, so we
went straight back to the room and to bed as we had an early morning this

Day 13<br /></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="font-family: verdana;">Thursday, August 3, 2023</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Happy Birthday, Val!!!<span> </span>Today is
Val’s birthday and we were awakened early with a call from the Neptune Lounge
concierge wishing Val a happy birthday and offering us a dinner in one of the
specialty restaurants, but we had decided to do save that for our anniversary
that will be later in the cruise.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We stayed in bed a bit longer and then got up and got ready and went to the
Neptune Lounge where Val was once again wished a happy birthday.<span> </span>There was a lecture we wanted to attend which
was supposed to be on our next port but turned out to be about
Iceland’s part in World War II with Akureyri only mentioned in passing.<span> </span>We have come to expect this, and the lecture
was very interesting, so it was certainly worth our time.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The casino is conveniently located just outside the World Stage (the
showroom where the lecture was) so since we missed it last night, we decided to make a quick stop and try
our luck.<span> </span>It turned out to be a
fortuitous stop and I cashed out a nice win. Val did even better and won
two jackpots on the same machine and cashed out a very nice win.<span> </span>Happy birthday to Val from the casino!</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">By the time we finished it was time for lunch, so we were off to
that.<span> </span>After lunch I needed to catch up
with the blog, so I started in on that.<span>
</span>Val had arranged a private tour for us and one other couple tomorrow, so
she confirmed all of the details with the tour operator and checked in with
other couple to make sure they knew the time and place to meet.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Since Val had missed most of her ”fam jam” when we were in Greenland she
watched a recording someone made of it and it was quite interesting.<span> </span>Not only do they just get together to say hi,
they are doing a deep dive into family history with different family members
doing presentations.<span> </span>The nice thing
about it is that it is not just the older cousins participating, but the
cousin’s children and cousin's children's children being interested and doing their own
presentations, very nice.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is normally an overnight sailing to get from Isafjordur to Akureyri, but
there must have been a scheduling conflict or something, so we are taking an extra day and doing a scenic cruise along the northern coast of Iceland.<span> </span>Although we didn't get too close too the coast,
it is still a very scenic, and we are enjoying the distant coastline as we
slowly cruise by.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmNJz2e6miDuLLAGLNdkvkNaEzxHVEZSMAzxL2q5nJzvh0ExDRevUFYAmHl6Lsi3HFF-7D4UXBA-h10HfajQdq6_Q9jWXBZfVokcnJz_pdJaxsC4x8SFmFfi4FSfxZpT1QzKiWRh41KlSCqE1Rq4HFRsVESIK4I5w2it7icydkyy7esCEzMSDK1s-sjqs/s1920/230803-134129d.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1128" data-original-width="1920" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmNJz2e6miDuLLAGLNdkvkNaEzxHVEZSMAzxL2q5nJzvh0ExDRevUFYAmHl6Lsi3HFF-7D4UXBA-h10HfajQdq6_Q9jWXBZfVokcnJz_pdJaxsC4x8SFmFfi4FSfxZpT1QzKiWRh41KlSCqE1Rq4HFRsVESIK4I5w2it7icydkyy7esCEzMSDK1s-sjqs/w400-h235/230803-134129d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This looks like smoke from a volcano, but even though Iceland is very volcanic, this was just an unusual cloud.<br /></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><span></span></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiPVatj6nm1aX2EwZZmPt39HsrgOaoh4xiH7nv-5KTg9GlNUFn23oSNvLiJYeXwXjAGuVPWrb4M717wYd_DWPDf7TTsGaEDpGv6hK-oNRe51w2_jlBtve3wFdbPq-hiWQLU6Pz61WRRnn9jc9sqeA2ScPRYWfnyT1QdNupuOPhJHS0ANQU0RIUOMVdXuM/s1920/230803-134152d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1066" data-original-width="1920" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiPVatj6nm1aX2EwZZmPt39HsrgOaoh4xiH7nv-5KTg9GlNUFn23oSNvLiJYeXwXjAGuVPWrb4M717wYd_DWPDf7TTsGaEDpGv6hK-oNRe51w2_jlBtve3wFdbPq-hiWQLU6Pz61WRRnn9jc9sqeA2ScPRYWfnyT1QdNupuOPhJHS0ANQU0RIUOMVdXuM/w400-h223/230803-134152d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTVYBAMHnFfVpPmKZ6n2fcEcqvaq1jLhWLrJuZHT51XuIasJ8Ru9CZAngXd_JOmCMv3Fz5-_nDp8bQbwmLlbtAO84X6tuw6W3ssZRRZ8moP3Id9kH9ETnqeOrDOFtqKCiAMR4OLh2mXGYdBPHlSIY6jJ9tH7bopdG_KpXLPO2HbGVYAE_ygovuIZg-lrk/s1920/230803-195949d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1126" data-original-width="1920" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTVYBAMHnFfVpPmKZ6n2fcEcqvaq1jLhWLrJuZHT51XuIasJ8Ru9CZAngXd_JOmCMv3Fz5-_nDp8bQbwmLlbtAO84X6tuw6W3ssZRRZ8moP3Id9kH9ETnqeOrDOFtqKCiAMR4OLh2mXGYdBPHlSIY6jJ9tH7bopdG_KpXLPO2HbGVYAE_ygovuIZg-lrk/w400-h235/230803-195949d.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></span></span><p></p>

to Val along with a happy birthday card signed by the captain of the ship;
Val’s birthday surprises continue.<span> </span>We
didn’t sample the cupcake as it was too close to dinner, but it will get eaten
later.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOz6bY6sshOFB39NYM-ZfbQ4RAJgV-Ahpfmbmbxip6elKJl5tJAMX5EgiuTYAIu8H6mjGKEq2TiP0f0_966rSmAphuW6tARjucqt_DfykO0QhtT0rJg58Fin2Jhz6DGr2SJo2N0PyagUuzWLw9NBWznXZvUQ2thF8GktLMqNYwJvSY4zAvLN5uTiD14uk/s1920/230803-195934d.jpg" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="988" data-original-width="1920" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOz6bY6sshOFB39NYM-ZfbQ4RAJgV-Ahpfmbmbxip6elKJl5tJAMX5EgiuTYAIu8H6mjGKEq2TiP0f0_966rSmAphuW6tARjucqt_DfykO0QhtT0rJg58Fin2Jhz6DGr2SJo2N0PyagUuzWLw9NBWznXZvUQ2thF8GktLMqNYwJvSY4zAvLN5uTiD14uk/w400-h206/230803-195934d.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">A happy birthday cupcake for Val.</span><br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The dining room had been alerted that it was Val’s birthday so at the end
of our dinner she was serenaded by a group of dining room stewards singing the
Indonesian birthday song.<span> </span>She was given
a big piece of cake for her birthday which she shared with me and a nearby
table.<span> </span>It had been quite a birthday so
far for Val, but it wasn’t over yet.<span> </span>She
had another good night in casino and hit another large jackpot, she should plan
on gambling every year on her birthday.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Speaking of sharing with a nearby table, we have gotten to know Linda and Steve who are sitting at a table across the aisle from us and also Coreen who is sitting at the table between them and the window. We look forward to talking to them every evening and getting to know them. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There must be something about the Voyage of the Vikings Cruise as we met our good friends, Ken and Mary Beth, on this cruise in 2016 and have remained friends ever since. We have been conversing via email with Ken and Mary Beth as they are on a Scandinavian cruise at the same time we are on this one. It has been great comparing notes.<br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">After the casino, we went straight back to the room and to bed as we have
to get up early tomorrow for an early tour.</span></span></p>
