Got up early this morning (7.00am) to find that the Boudicca was docked in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. We hadn’t been here before, but our flight home wasn’t until teatime, so at least we’d have some time to explore our 89th country, and indeed we had an excursion booked after breakfast. We had…
Felt really depressed that we were down to our final day on the fabulous Boudicca. How the last fortnight had flown! ☹ Today we had a nice leisurely day at sea, with a packed itinerary. We had a good breakfast in the Secret Garden, then attended a talk at 9.45am by Roger Cook; this one…
When we woke up this morning and went out onto our balcony, the sunshine was already bright and the day was hot, even at 8.00am. The Boudicca was at anchor in the turquoise water, and we could see a small island in the near distance. There were no excursions scheduled today, because the island of…
Woke up this morning to find the Boudicca at anchor off Malé, the capital of the Maldives. We hadn’t been here before so we were excited about the snorkelling trip we’d booked for this morning. We love snorkelling, and had done it extensively on our incomparable cruise around the Galápagos Islands in October 2017. Had…
Got up at 8.00am and went out on the balcony to see what the weather was like. It seemed a little breezier this morning (but still very warm) and, while the sea was still calm, we noticed more ripples on the surface and could feel a very slight motion from the Boudicca. We went down…
Ahh… it was another glorious day as we woke up this morning around eight o’clock as usual. Going out onto our balcony, my eyes screwed up against the brightness of the sun, we saw that once again the weather was perfect, with fluffy white cumulous clouds above a blue, blue Indian Ocean. 😊 We went…
Today we had a packed programme of events to look forward to, as we got up around 8.00am and went out onto our balcony to another warm and sultry day. 😊 We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast in the Tintagel Restaurant, then went outside to take a stroll around the decks and breathe in the salt…
This morning, when we got up and went out onto our balcony, we discovered we were docked in Victoria, the capital of the Seychelles, situated on the island of Mahé. Today we were booked onto a half-day tour to explore this area and also spend time at the beach. It was hard to believe we…
We had to be up at 07:15 hours this morning as we were due to go on tour at half past eight. We enjoyed a good breakfast then gathered together suntan cream, mozzie repellent, hand gel and local currency ready to disembark the ship for today’s tour, which was called “The Living Seychelles”, hence the…
Got up quite late this morning (9.00am) and, while Trevor went down to breakfast, I preferred to enjoy some coffee and fresh fruit in our cabin, while I slowly (and rather sluggishly) got washed and dressed. Going out onto our balcony, we looked around with interest at our surroundings. We were not booked on an…
