Posted the blog for Isafjordour, Iceland below. Short morning tour to a working farm with a surprising tour guide and then a visit to a magnificent waterfall. We followed it up with a walk through the small town. A really beautiful port. I know we got lucky with the weather for the day.

Below is the blog for our day in Akureyri, Iceland. It is a beautiful location with some dramatic scenery.

I was able to post our day in Dublin, Ireland and also a couple of sea days. Our scheduled stop at The Faroe Islands was cancelled yesterday due to weather. Our June 20th day at sea was filled with activity after we woke up at 10am ??

We had lunch with Nancy and Verne Lundquist again today. A super couple. I could sit there all day listening to his stories.

Faroe Islands (Cancelled)/Sea Day

Sea Day

Was able to post today's wet trip to St. Andrews and Edinburgh, Scotland. It was a shame that it rained all day, but we still enjoyed the excursion and would love to return again one day.

Greenock, Scotland

I was able to put together a couple more days but still need to fill in gaps, think I am behind three blogs right now. But, here are two more, hope you enjoy.

Cornwall, England


Cobh (Cork), Ireland

We had a great day, although it was short, in the city of Rouen. The cathedral was just amazing!!! Much history in the city which was the location of Joan of Arc's death. Has to be placed on the revisit list.

If you don’t have a passport, better get one now. You can use your DL and birth certificate to board, but a passport makes life a lot easier.

This advice is so important. If you are injured or become ill and need hospitalization in the US, without a passport it is difficult to get back into the country. I am not saying you cannot, but it will take more time than necessary.

Falling behind in keeping up with the blog as the Wi-Fi (Starlink) was almost non-existent in western Africa. Tomorrow in Lisbon and then a couple of sea days to try and catch up.


Funchal (Madeira) Portugal

Completed a couple more blogs. These two are for Luanda, Angola and Sao Tome. We had short excursions for both of these countries and enjoyed both days. It is sad to see poverty, which is what we expected doing western Africa due to the Middle East itinerary diversion. But although there is poverty the people in these cities are always smiling and happy to see us visiting their cities. It is like they are poor, but don't know it?

I hope both posts came out okay as I attempted to add videos to both. Let me know if you have any questions, comments or suggestions.

Luanda, Angola


Sao Tome

I was able to get the next two blogs up for May 19th and May 20th. The Wi-Fi is not cooperating because of issues with StarLink and the African continent, so we had to limit the number of videos used in the blog. Hopefully once we receive better Wi-Fi or when we get home (are we going home? ??) I will upload better videos.
