Hemera to Home Again

Posted on October 5, 2022October 14, 2022 by bollingerbabe

There’s not much more to write now. We rose at 7.00am and I got showered and shampooed my hair before getting dressed. Trevor then popped into the unoccupied cabin #4 where everyone’s luggage was being stored, and he retrieved our two cases and brought them back, laying them open on the bed for us to…

The tenth month of 2022 already, and what a lovely place to be spending it in!  😊  After enjoying our al fresco breakfast on the aft decks around eight o’clock, we had a walk around the vessel, greeting the other passengers; we were all getting to know each other now; the barriers were coming…
