Seward to Seattle

Posted on May 25, 2019June 30, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up at seven o’clock this morning to find the Quest docked in Seward, Alaska.  We went up for breakfast in the Windows Café and I enjoyed the full English as we knew we’d be disembarking soon.  🙁 We returned to stateroom 6009, packed the remainder of our stuff into our carry-on bags, had a last…

Homesteads and Halibut in Homer

Posted on May 24, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Woke up around six o’clock this morning to the incessant and loud cries of many seagulls; had a look out on the balcony to find ourselves docked in the picturesque port of Homer, Alaska.  We were at the end of a long jetty and all around, on the ground and in the air, was a…

Round and Round We Go

Posted on May 23, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

For some reason I didn’t sleep well – the night seemed endless.  Maybe our circadian rhythms were still awry after all the time zones we’d passed through, but I kept waking up and either going to the bathroom, or standing at the balcony doors looking out to sea, where I could see the faint white…

En route to Kodiak

Posted on May 22, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

I was tired this morning so I didn’t go up to breakfast, enjoying some fruit and coffee in our stateroom and getting out of bed quite late, around 9.20pm.  I had to get washed and dressed fairly quickly if we didn’t want to miss the grand Quest Expo at 10 o’clock. The Quest Expo consisted…

Delightful Dutch Harbor

Posted on May 21, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We were up just before 8.00am where we watched the Quest slowly manoeuvring into dock in Dutch Harbor.  Immediately in front of our balcony a cliff face rose up, dotted here and there with shrubs and bushes and topped with patches of snow.  The sky looked clear and the sun was attempting to get through…

Alaska and the Aleutian Islands

Posted on May 20, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Woke up around 5.00am to use the loo, and through our balcony doors I could see the faint outline of mountains in the near distance as the Quest made her way to Adak.  Went back to sleep then, just over an hour later, we awoke again to see that the ship had come to a…

Groundhog Day!

Posted on May 19, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Today was just a relaxing day at sea, when we could do as much or as little as we wanted.  We got up about 8.30am (a bit later due to the lost hour!!) and I decided not to go to breakfast, just eating the fruit that was provided in our stateroom; Trevor brought me back…

From Russia with Love

Posted on May 18, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Woke up at 6.00am to go to the loo, and saw that we were already docked in Petropavlovsk.  I could see snow-capped peaks in the background, and some other vessels and cranes docked nearby.  As our excursion was not until 9.45am, I went back to bed for another couple of hours’ sleep, getting up at…

Crossing the Pacific

Posted on May 16, 2019March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Woke up this morning quite tired due to the lost hour and decided not to go to breakfast, but to make the most of the fruit bowl in our cabin instead.  Trevor went to the buffet and brought me back a cup of coffee (as there is no kettle in our stateroom). At 10 o’clock…
