Praia, Cape Verde Islands December 9th, 2024 This was our second port in the Cape Verde Islands. Praia is the capital and largest city in Cape Verde and is on Santiago Island. My first impression of Praia wasn’t that great Not a pretty harbor....
Mindelo, Cape Verde Islands December 8th, 2024 For our visit to Mindelo, we had initially thought that we would get off the ship and find a taxi driver to take us around the island, but then we thought that we would probably get more out of a...
At Sea December 7th, 2024 It’s hard to believe that had this been a 7 day cruise we would be disembarking today. I am only getting into the routine of life at sea, I would hate to have to disembark already. Thank goodness we have weeks of...
At sea December 6th, 2024 At least today was less strenuous than yesterday. It was very cold in the Observation Bar this morning, so we chose to move to the Club. So instead of the view of where we are going, we had the view of where we had...
At sea December 5th, 2024 There was a bridge tour today, but we were too late signing up for it, so we hope there will be another one. I do love bridge tours and seeing how the electronics on the bridge have changed so dramatically over the...
At Sea December 4th, 2024 Aaaaah! The first of 4 sea days before we get to the Cape Verde islands. It was another busy day. I brought along my cross stitch tablecloth in the hope that I could finish it on this cruise, and it hasn’t seen the...

Palma, Majorca December 1st, 2024 Our first port! The weather didn’t look so promising in the early morning light, but it was fine by the time we were ready to disembark and join our Jewish Majorca tour booked with Dani Rotstein. Our guide was...
Barcelona November 30th, 2024 The day has finally arrived! We got up early, put our luggage outside the door of our room so it could be taken directly to the ship, had breakfast and did some shopping stopping to admire Casa Batllo. Then came the...
The last time we were in Barcelona in November it was a dreary, cold, rainy day. Not today. It was cool, but there was brilliant sunshine. The perfect weather for exploring a city. On our way out we decided to stop off at the Seabourn...
So here we are in Barcelona! It is hard to believe, in 2 days time we will be boarding the Sojourn for out long awaited for cruise. You could say I am mildly excited. Well, let’s get that right, I am over the moon with excitement! 3 of our...
