Got the blog finished by adding our last three sea days and the one remaining port blog which was out visit to The Cotswolds. We will put together one more post for the blog to provide a summary of the World Cruise with some statistics and also our thoughts on what went well and what was considered a failure.

I hope that you have enjoyed following the blog. Please let us know if you have any suggestions for improving the blog posts if we decide to try this again in the future......thank you

We had eight hours in Boston as unscheduled stop due to engine issues in Halifax which then caused us to miss our last two port stops in New York City and Charleston. The eight hours were in the evening so we decided to do a ghost and cemetery tour, along with taking in the fireworks show later in the evening.

I finally got around to posting Walvis Bay, Namibia. The day was a fun one filled with riding in a vehicle up and down HUGE sand dunes. At the end of the blog see if you can identify our tour guide.

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.

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.
