BURNS’ NIGHT After an excellent night’s sleep, we awoke when the alarm went off at 6.45am. As we looked out of the window to see what the weather was like, we saw that there were quite a few clouds near the horizon, so as we didn’t think we would get a good sunrise we decided…
Because I had had a good nine hours’ sleep last night, I woke up bright and early and ready to go. At 6.30am we quickly got dressed and made our way up to Deck 10, where half a dozen or so early birds were power-striding around the track. The sun would not rise for another…
We had set the alarm to go off at 6.30am as we hoped to catch the tropical sunrise, but when we awoke and looked out of our window, we saw the large red ball of the newly-risen sun, which gave our cabin a warm orange glow. We had missed the actual sunrise by 10 minutes….
Not a lot to write about today, on what was the first of five full days at sea. We would just spend the day relaxing and exploring the ship. We were up just before eight o’clock this morning, having got over most of the jet-lag by now. We got washed and dressed and made our…
Because of the five-hour time difference between Lima and home, we were awake pretty early, around 6.30am. Our plan had been to go up to the rooftop pool and enjoy a refreshing, early morning swim in the sultry air, but we couldn’t find any hotel literature that gave the opening times of the pool. I…
The alarm shattered the silence this morning at 6.30am, and we lay in the darkness for a few minutes reflecting on the fact that we should have been well on the way to Lima by now. We got out of bed and I didn’t have to get dressed as I was already still dressed from…
Woke up this morning feeling a mixture of excitement, anticipation and a touch of anxiety. The reason? We were due to set off, once again, on our travels, and today would see a series of airports and flights as we journeyed on our way to Lima, Peru. Yes! We are ultimately going on a cruise…
Not a lot to write about today. I hate it when you wake up in your hotel room or ship cabin and realise that you are going home today. 🙁 We got up at 8.00am and got ready to go down for breakfast. The coach was not coming to collect us to take us to…
Got up at half-past seven this morning, so we had plenty of time to have some breakfast before our excursion at 9.00am. Looking out of our window, we were dismayed to see that it was raining. When we arrived at the dining room and went to the juice counter, we saw that there was a…
Got up at 7.30am after an excellent night’s sleep. We got washed and dressed and made our way to the hotel’s dining room for breakfast. There was quite an unusual array of foods for breakfast; as well as the usual bacon, eggs, sausage, beans, cereal and toast, there was also green salads, charcuterie, vegetables and…
