Let the Train take the Strain

Posted on March 6, 2017April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

It was with excitement and anticipation that we woke up early this morning, as today were going to take a ride on the famous St. Kitts Scenic Railway.  Despite two previous visits to St. Kitts (in 2012 on the Ventura and last year on the Adonia) we had not yet experienced this delight, so we…

St. John’s, Antigua

Posted on March 5, 2017April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We woke up at 7.10am to the usual euphoric feeling of being on holiday in the amazing sunny Caribbean on the good ship Braemar.  Looking out of our portholes, we saw that we were just coming into the port of St. John’s, Antigua, where we’ve visited twice before; on the Arcadia in 2005 and last…

Rum Tasting in St. Lucia

Posted on March 4, 2017April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We woke up this morning around 7.30am and looked out of our portholes to see that the Braemar was already docked up in Castries, its capital.  Across the harbour we saw the massive, ugly-looking  P & O ship Britannia; in fact it was moored up where we normally have been on previous visits to St….

Beach and Beer

Posted on March 3, 2017April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Woke up early this morning as we were still on British time.  So we leapt out of bed around 6.45am and happily made our way up to the Grampian restaurant for breakfast.  As tonight would see the first of three Formal nights, we knew that there would be free Buck’s Fizz or prosecco/cava on offer…

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…
