Our second day in Halifax. It should have been a better first and second day but issues with the ship's engines and poor communication caused us to miss much of the time we were in port. But, overall, it was a great first time visit to Halifax.

Finally got around to posting our June 3rd stop in The Gambia. An extremely poor country.

Banjul, The Gambia

Posted our day yesterday in Reykjavik, Iceland. It was our first time visiting this country and came away impressed by the beauty of the country. We had rain all day yesterday and combined with the rain and wind, it made for a miserable day. But the cold, rain and wind could not take away from the amazing things we saw during our last day in Iceland.

Well, it has been 110 days and not sick of it yet.

We were at sea today and this evening crossed The Arctic Circle. Interesting photos as the sun will not set tonight.

Driving from Barcelona to Southwest France is great and easy to visit the old castles like Carcassonne

Belfast, Northern Ireland ---- wet and cold day changed our touring plans but we still got in to see some great locations. The Belfast Titanic Museum is a must see!!!!

We had driven by the area a couple of times when we were spending time in France, but had never gone to Rouen. It was a great day and made us realize we need to return one day. The cruise is winding down and while we are not ready to return home, we know that we have to begin living the normal life again. :lol:

There are so many things to see and do just in Lisbon and the surrounding areas like Sintra, Cascais, Monserrat, and Evora. You and your wife will love it

We were in Lisbon yesterday and ventured outside the city to visit a midevil town before returning to Lisbon for a visit to the monastery, the discovery monument and a Paistes de nata.

We visited Abidjan, Ivory Coast today. While not a bad visit, most of the sites we had hoped to see were missed for various reasons. One of the best changes was a visit to the Governor's House as described on the cruise ship excursion sheet. I guess nobody bothered to check and see the house is now an orphanage? Another poor western African country, makes one happy to have the means to do things these unfortunate people will never have.
