Greece is the Word

Posted on May 16, 2022May 29, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Woke up this morning to the happy knowledge that, once again, we were heading for foreign shores to start another cruise!  😊 Today we were due to fly to Athens, Greece and enjoy an overnight stay in a hotel before joining the fabulous Azamara Pursuit in Piraeus the next day. However, amid all the excitement…

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…

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…

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…

Plane Spotting in St. Maarten

Posted on February 26, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We were up early again this morning and after breakfast, as we were wandering around the deck taking in our surroundings, we met Colin, who asked us if we were going out to the airport. As we had nothing organised for today, we impulsively decided that it sounded like a good idea. We agreed to…

Strolling in St. John’s

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

This morning we woke up in St. John’s, the capital of Antigua. We had been here once before, in 2005 on the Arcadia, so today we were not going on an organised tour, but were rather doing our own thing. When we looked out on our balcony, all we could see was what appeared to…

Sightseeing in Scarborough

Posted on February 21, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We woke up early again this morning, and eagerly went onto the balcony to have a look around, as we were shortly due to dock in the seaside town of Scarborough. But this wasn’t Scarborough, Yorkshire – this was Scarborough, capital town of the island of Tobago. 🙂 This was our first time to this…
