Tag: British Night

Lübeck and Marzipan

Posted on August 17, 2017April 1, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Today we woke up in Wismar.  We had to be up early this morning (at 7.00am) as we were due to go on an all-day tour to the pretty little town of Lübeck, on the River Trave.  So after enjoying our breakfast we assembled in the Neptune Lounge to await the call for our excursion…

Lazy Sea Days

Posted on March 14, 2017April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We got up about 8.45am after a good night’s sleep.  The sea was reasonably calm with relatively little movement from the Braemar, but the sky was pretty grey. I decided not to go up to breakfast but instead to make the most of the tea- and coffee-making facilities in our cabin, enjoying a cup of…

Games Without Frontiers

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

During the night we lost an hour’s sleep, as the clocks were put forward an hour becoming nearer to British Summer Time.  Nevertheless we were still up around 8.15am, as we had a full itinerary of events to look forward to today. After breakfast we got ourselves ready for our first “Boudicca Olympics” event, which…

Trolls and Glaciers

Posted on June 15, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

When we woke up this morning, once again to a glorious day, we were just about to dock in Olden.  This was another new port to us and we looked forward to seeing what it had to offer. As ever, the scenery was spectacular; towering snow-capped peaks, waterfalls and the beautiful clear water of the…

Kristiansund and the Atlantic Road

Posted on November 21, 2014April 6, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We woke up this morning to find ourselves docked in Kristiansund, our last port of call before returning to Liverpool.  At some point during the night we’d crossed south of the Arctic Circle once again, so we would gain back even more daylight and our chance of seeing the Northern Lights one more time had…

Senegal and the Slave Trade

Posted on January 26, 2014April 10, 2022 by bollingerbabe

This morning the Braemar docked in Dakar, capital of Senegal. The view from our balcony showed us that Dakar appeared to be more modern than Banjul, as there were several high-rise buildings and more traffic on the roads. It also looked a lot cleaner! After breakfast we collected the tickets for our tour from the…

Rule Britannia!

Posted on July 18, 2013April 14, 2022 by bollingerbabe

The first thing we did when we woke up this morning was look out of our portholes to see what the weather was like.  Smaller wavelets indicated to us that the wind had dropped, and the sun was peeping out now and then through the fluffy white clouds.  So it looked as though it was…

Jaguar in the Jungle

Posted on February 11, 2011July 14, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We woke up in our jungle hut early this morning; in fact, we didn’t really sleep all that well.  Although the room was kept at a lovely cool temperature with the air-conditioning, the downside was that it was very noisy.  At some point during the night Trevor turned it off, and the silence was golden. …
