Beautiful Budva

Posted on June 12, 2022July 7, 2022 by bollingerbabe

After an excellent night’s sleep, we got up at 6.30am and got washed and dressed and ready for the day ahead.  A quick look out on our Juliet balcony let us see that the sky was blue and cloudless and the air was warm, even at this early hour. We enjoyed a full and varied…

Dear readers, you will no doubt be surprised to see another holiday blog entry so soon after the last one, and indeed it is a record for us to be taking another trip only a fortnight after we came back from the last one!  But we are certainly not complaining, and we are surely making…

Bus around Barcelona

Posted on May 27, 2022June 6, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Had a bit of a lie-in this morning, as neither of us slept particularly well last night. Not only was the room fairly noisy (despite the ear-plugs) but it was warmer than we like it. So we didn’t get up until around 8.30am, and went out onto the tiny balcony for a vertiginous view of…

Got up this morning at 7.00am as we needed to vacate cabin 6062 by eight. Going out onto our balcony for the last time, we could see we were already docked in the beautiful city of Barcelona. We were pleased to be back here; it had been over 20 years since our last visit, and…

Posted on May 23, 2022June 1, 2022 by bollingerbabe

After the frenetic activities of the last couple of days, it was nice to be able to put the alarm on “snooze” this morning, and it was at the relatively late time of 8.25am when we got up and went out onto our balcony to greet the new day. 🙂 After the usual substantial breakfast…

Today we got up at seven o’clock to find the Azamara Pursuit slowly sailing into the port of Livorno, which would be the gateway to Florence (or, to give it its Italian name, Firenze). We had to meet in the Cabaret Lounge at 7.45am to register for our full-day excursion at eight, so we ate…

This morning we woke up to bright sunshine and blue skies as we eagerly went out onto our balcony to take in our surroundings.  We found that the Azamara Pursuit was an anchor and we looked across the water at the shoreline of Sicily.  It looked to be fairly mountainous and we could see a…

Sailing to Sicily

Posted on May 18, 2022May 29, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up at eight o’clock this morning, and went out on the balcony to see what the weather was like.  Although it was a blue sky and the sun was out, the brisk sea breeze made it colder than you would expect. We decided to have our breakfast in the self-service Windows Café and I…
