Woke up at 8.00am and looked out of the window at a restless and choppy Irish Sea. There was no sign of any land in sight, and my phone was still on the ‘Telenor Maritime’ network. At least there was no rush; we didn’t have to be out of the cabin until eleven o’clock. After…
Well, this blog entry probably won’t be of any interest to anybody, as we just spent the day with my cousins in Belfast. So please therefore feel free to skip this entry. đ My mother was from Belfast and my two cousins, Alan and his wife Margaret, and Brenda and her husband Adam, still live…
We were up at 6.30 this morning, and we looked out of our window to see that Ambition was at anchor off the pretty little town of Tobermory, on the Isle of Mull. We had never been here before and were so looked forward to exploring. What I found quite interesting and amusing was people’s…
A combination of late nights, too many cocktails (or quite possibly both) meant I didnât get out of my pit until 8.40am. Even then, I didnât go up to breakfast, I just had a cup of coffee in the cabin while getting ready, and Trevor brought me back a muffin and an orange from the…
As our meeting time for our scenic excursion this morning wasnât until 9.15am, we got up at eight and looked out of the window, to find ourselves docked in picturesque TĂłrshavn, capital of the Faroe Islands. We had been here twice before, in 2006 and in 2016, but itâs such a lovely place, all green…

Then we got ourselves ready to disembark, ensuring we had our cagoules after a…
1st July. Wow â were we into the second half of 2023 already?! This year is certainly flying. We woke up early this morning, 7.20am in fact. This is because I had a session of âPure Blissâ booked in the Green Sea Spa at eight oâclock. This was an hour-long massage session, consisting of a…
After an excellent nightâs sleep we got up at 8.00am and looked out of our window at grey skies once again, and a very calm North Sea. The Ambition was gliding gently along, only doing about 8-10 knots. We were not due to reach our first port of call, Dundee, until around 11.30am. As readers…
When we woke up this morning, it was with the happy knowledge that, once again, we would be setting off on a cruise! đ Yes! We were due to drive out to the Port of Tyne this afternoon to join M/S Ambition, one of the two ships of the Ambassador Cruise Line. We hadnât tried…
