Where Is Safarigal?

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 years. In 1962 I had to...

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 light of day as yet....

Tangier, Morocco December 3rd, 2025 Our first African port. Again the weather didn’t look too promising when we arrived, but later we had brilliant sunshine. We had organized a private tour to Chefchaouen, the blue city. We were meeting our driver Mohammed outside...

At Sea December 2nd, 2024 Ah, at last, a sea day. Brian got up early and headed to the gym. I slept in. By the time Brian had returned from the gym he had already done over 4000 steps. I had done 10. I’m not sure this million steps thing will work out for me. After...

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 Denisse and the first...

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 wait to catch 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 hospitality desk. It was the...

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 suitcases have been sent...

The Sojourn won. Waiting another year was OK. The different itinerary was OK. Not that there is anything really wrong with Bolette, the temptation of being on the Sojourn for a whole 90 days was just too great. Yay! I canceled the Fred Olsen cruise and booked with...

It was June of 2022. We were in Ocean Cruise Terminal in Southampton having gingerly decided to return to cruising now that things were not looking quite so dire with the COVID pandemic. We found a seat away from the crowds, who like us, were anxiously awaiting the...
