I wonder how, I wonder why?Yesterday you told me ’bout the blue, blue sky,And all that I could seeWas just another lemon tree. Fool’s Garden This morning we got up at 8.00am once again, and eagerly went out onto our balcony to have a look around. The Pursuit was at anchor again, this time off…
This morning we woke up to bright sunshine and blue skies as we eagerly went out onto our balcony to take in our surroundings. We found that the Azamara Pursuit was an anchor and we looked across the water at the shoreline of Sicily. It looked to be fairly mountainous and we could see a…
Got up at eight o’clock this morning, and went out on the balcony to see what the weather was like. Although it was a blue sky and the sun was out, the brisk sea breeze made it colder than you would expect. We decided to have our breakfast in the self-service Windows Café and I…
Got up at 8.00am after an excellent night’s sleep, and had a look out on our balcony and the busy street below on the build-up to rush hour. The sky was a cloudless deep blue and the air was already warm, with only a slight breeze. We went down to breakfast and enjoyed bacon and…
Woke up this morning to the happy knowledge that, once again, we were heading for foreign shores to start another cruise! 😊 Today we were due to fly to Athens, Greece and enjoy an overnight stay in a hotel before joining the fabulous Azamara Pursuit in Piraeus the next day. However, amid all the excitement…
Friday, 25 February 2022 Woke up to the depressing realisation that the holiday we had looked forward to for so long was looking a bit sick now. In 48 hours we’d be on the road for home. 🙁 Nonetheless, we were still on board, and we determined to enjoy our time on this lovely ship….
Woke up this morning after an excellent night’s sleep and looked out of the window at a cloudy sky, but one which promised some intermittent sunshine. The temperature was 2ºC – the first time since arriving in Norway that it had been above freezing. 🙂 We didn’t have any organised trips booked today, but the…
We woke up this morning with the pleasant thought of having a whole relaxing day at sea; we had already looked at the Daily Times programme of events to see that there was a packed itinerary in store for us today. The weather was, as usual, below zero and the motion of the Borealis was…
We woke up around eight o’clock this morning on 22/2/22 (!) to find that the Borealis was docked in Narvik, a new port of call that we hadn’t visited before. Strangely enough, Narvik is further north than Bodø; we had been heading south since leaving Ålta but now we were temporarily heading north again. 🙂…
Got up at 07.45 this morning as we were going on an excursion after breakfast. We had last visited Bodø in June 1999 on the M/S Funchal, and it was a pleasure to be back in this charming little town, which heavily features many sculptures and street art. Once again, the weather was crisp and…
