Any Port In A Storm

Posted on October 1, 2022October 6, 2022 by bollingerbabe

October. The tenth month of 2022 already, and what a lovely place to be spending it in!  😊  After enjoying our al fresco breakfast on the aft decks around eight o’clock, we had a walk around the vessel, greeting the other passengers; we were all getting to know each other now; the barriers were coming…

Lefkada to Meganisi

Posted on September 30, 2022October 14, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up around 8.00am and went along to the aft deck for breakfast, where I partook of a bowl of granola washed down with a couple of cups of the good, fresh coffee.  We then had a wander around the deck, where the weather was already pleasantly warm with a tantalising little breeze.  We saw…

A Tour by Tuk Tuk

Posted on June 18, 2022July 7, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up this morning at eight o’clock and took my time in the power shower, letting the powerful jets of warm water wake me up and wash away yesterday’s grime. I shampooed and blow-dried my hair, then finished getting ready before going down to breakfast. Our other five fellow travellers were there as well; Jane…

A Day Out in Dubrovnik

Posted on June 14, 2022June 23, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We got up around 7.30am and I went out onto our fabulous balcony to drink in the perfect view on what was already a cloudless and warm day. Our plan was to take a taxi into Dubrovnik to walk the wall and, after seeing the crowds and feeling the heat yesterday, we figured it would…

So Nice in Nice

Posted on May 24, 2022June 1, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up around 8.00am as usual to see that the Azamara Pursuit was just getting ready to dock in Nice. The last time we’d been to Nice was in 2011, when we’d flown in to join sister ship Azamara Journey, where we did a four-night cruise culminating in the Monaco F1 Grand Prix. It was…

Cocktails at Jack’s

Posted on January 11, 2015April 5, 2022 by bollingerbabe

After a good night’s sleep we woke up at 8.00am and went up for our Sea Stretch session before enjoying an al fresco breakfast. We then wandered around on deck, looking at our surroundings and decided what to do. We had the whole day to explore at our leisure and do whatever we wanted, when…

Wunderbar Warnemünde!

Posted on July 12, 2013April 14, 2022 by bollingerbabe

When we woke up this morning the sun was already bright with barely a cloud in the sky, so we just knew it was going to be another lovely day.   🙂 We found ourselves docked in Warnemünde, in the former East Germany and near to Rostock, which we’d visited on a Baltic cruise on…

Caipirinha Capers at Alter do Chão

Posted on February 13, 2011July 14, 2022 by bollingerbabe

This morning, the Braemar was due to drop anchor at another tiny village, this time Alter do Chão. Having looked at some photos of this place, it seemed as though there was a lovely sandy beach, so it had one redeeming feature at least. 🙂 We were due to set sail early afternoon, so we decided…
