After the frenetic activities of the last couple of days, it was nice to be able to put the alarm on “snooze” this morning, and it was at the relatively late time of 8.25am when we got up and went out onto our balcony to greet the new day. 🙂 After the usual substantial breakfast…
David and the Leaning Tower
Today we got up at seven o’clock to find the Azamara Pursuit slowly sailing into the port of Livorno, which would be the gateway to Florence (or, to give it its Italian name, Firenze). We had to meet in the Cabaret Lounge at 7.45am to register for our full-day excursion at eight, so we ate…

Sailing to Sicily

Pursuit in Piraeus
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…
Greece is the Word
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.

Two Days at Sea
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….

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…
