This week, our Travel pics series is C, for Cruise Ships. The images have all been shots we have taken in, on or of cruise ships in our travels. Most we’ve actually traveled on – but a couple were passing us by (or, in this case, we passed above it!) This is the AIDAbella, moored in Singapore…
This week, our Travel pics series is C, for Cruise Ships. It’s one of the most cliched images of cruising – the Champagne Fountain, on board cruise ships in the middle of a voyage. But like many cliches, it’s observed more in the public imagination than in reality any more. Oh, there’s champagne aplenty handed out on board…
This week, our Travel pics series is C, for Cruise Ships. For Thursday, it’s a pic I snapped of the Azamara Quest, docked in Cairns. Azamara is a Royal Caribbean cruise line – but that’s a bit like saying a Lexus is a Toyota. Azamara is a premium cruise service – as witnessed by the size of…
This week, our Travel pics series is C, for Cruise Ships. For Wednesday, we’re off to Road Town, on Tortola. It’s the capital of the British Virgin Islands, and home to about 12,000 people. It’s a centre of yacht chartering, as well as a destination for cruise ships like the MSC Musica, shown in today’s Travel Pic.…
This week, our Travel pics series is C, for Cruise Ships. For Tuesday, it’s an interior shot from on board the Royal Caribbean’s Legend Of The Seas. Before we took our first cruise, we thought entertainment on board would be all shuffleboard, and bingo, and poker machines, and sitting on deck chairs reading Agatha Christie novels.…
This week, our Travel pics series is C, for Cruise Ships. The images will all be shots we have taken in, on or of cruise ships in our travels. Most we’ve actually traveled on – but a couple were passing us by. The first for the week is the first cruise ship we ever sailed on…
This week, our Travel pics series has been B for Barbados. And to wrap us up, a scene that strikes me as quintessentially Barbados. This is Bayshore Beach, part of Carlisle Bay, in St Michaels Parish, Bridgetown, Barbados. The Azure sky, the Cerulean water, the White sandy beach .. its like everything in Barbados has an extra…
This week, our Travel pics series is B for Barbados. It’s Saturday – so maybe it is time for a beer! Bird’s Snackette and Bar, across the road from Bayshore Beach in St Michaels, is something of a chameleon. When we were there in 2015, it was – as you can see – bright red and white:…
This week, our Travel pics series is B for Barbados. All the images were taken in a quick visit in April 2015 – Barbados was a port on our Caribbean-to-Europe cruise. It was amusing, as we sailed toward Barbados … a number of times on the night before, and on the morning of, our arrival we…
This week, our Travel pics series is B for Barbados. Today’s image is of a beach shack on the shores of Carlisle Bay, in Bridgetown – the capital of Barbados. Our tour guide told us that this shack (and its previous incarnations) had been there since the 1600s, when Barbados was settled by Europeans – but…
