Back to Barbados

Posted on March 4, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Thursday, 3 March 2016 When we woke up early this morning we found that the Adonia was docked right back where we’d started, in Bridgetown.  But we weren’t going home quite yet; we had the whole day and overnight in this fantastic country; in fact this is our seventh visit to Barbados – we love it…

The Best of Bequia

Posted on March 2, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

When we went out on our balcony upon waking this morning, we saw that the Adonia was about to drop anchor just off the charming little island of Port Elizabeth in Bequia, in the country of St. Vincent & The Grenadines.  We hadn’t been to this port before, and indeed it looked more like the Caribbean…

Magical Martinique

Posted on March 1, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We were up again early this morning, and we went straight out onto the balcony to have a look around.  We were docked in Fort-de-France, principal town in Martinique, which is one of France’s overseas départements.  Once again it was a new port of call for us, and today we were booked on the full day…

Monday is Sun Day

Posted on February 29, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We woke up this morning to a relaxing day at sea. In fact, I felt a little under the weather – maybe it was all the beers and tropical cocktails I had yesterday. 🙁 I soon sorted myself out with a couple of paracetamol washed down with a gargantuan drink of water, and a plate…

Relaxing in St. Kitts

Posted on February 28, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We were up early once again this morning and out onto the balcony for a look round. Today we were docked in the port of Basseterre, capital of St. Kitts & Nevis. We’d been here once before, in 2012; we therefore decided, like yesterday, to pass the time at our own pace instead of going…

Time in Tortola

Posted on February 27, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We woke up this morning docked in the port of Road Town, capital of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. We had been here twice before; on the Arcadia in 2005 and the Ventura in 2012, so we didn’t have any excursion booked today, just deciding to do our own thing. We spent the morning…

Plane Spotting in St. Maarten

Posted on February 26, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We were up early again this morning and after breakfast, as we were wandering around the deck taking in our surroundings, we met Colin, who asked us if we were going out to the airport. As we had nothing organised for today, we impulsively decided that it sounded like a good idea. We agreed to…

Strolling in St. John’s

Posted on February 25, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

This morning we woke up in St. John’s, the capital of Antigua. We had been here once before, in 2005 on the Arcadia, so today we were not going on an organised tour, but were rather doing our own thing. When we looked out on our balcony, all we could see was what appeared to…

Point-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe

Posted on February 24, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We were up early again this morning, in time to see the Adonia dock in Point-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe. Gaudeloupe is one of the French overseas départements and it looked quite a well-developed port, from what we could see from our vantage point on after breakfast on Deck 9. The currency here is the Euro. We disembarked…

A Relaxing Day at Sea

Posted on February 23, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We were up at 07:30 this morning and went out on the balcony to see what the weather was like. Although it was already warm and sunny, there was a brisk breeze blowing as the Adonia cut her way through the waves, leaving a foaming white wake behind her. We put on our swimsuits, grabbed…
