The theme for our travel pics this week is O for On-board Images. This picture is from our first-ever cruise in 2011, and unfortunately, the image size (and resolution) is not the best. But it’s still gobsmacking to see the detail, the work, the artistry that has gone into this fruit carving. It was onboard the…
The theme for our travel pics this week is O for On-board Images. Now here’s a familiar scene! This is where I, my wife, my sisters, and their travelling companions spent a lot of time in April last year. No, not because it was a bar – but because it was also a cafe, serving…
The theme for our travel pics this week is O for On-board Images. I tend to be an early riser – and while Shirley is getting her face on to greet the day, I normally go for a stroll around the running-track on board a cruise ship each morning. The thing I like about it…
The theme for our travel pics this week is O for On-board Images. For Wednesday, it’s the traditional ‘Champagne Fountain’, on board the Sun Princess as we sailed across the South Pacific. This was, of course, on one of the two ‘formal nights’ on the cruise, and many took the opportunity to get a photo pouring…
The theme for our travel pics this week is O for On-board Images. These fine specimens of manhood (with me in the middle) are taking part in a ‘crossing the line’ ceremony on the MSC Musica. Now, traditionally the ‘Line’ in Crossing the Line ceremonies is the Equator – but since this voyage (from the West…
The theme for our travel pics this week is O for On-board Images. These will be pictures we have taken on-board a variety of ships, in a variety of locations. Our first is one of the pools at the rear of the Carnival Spirit – in the so-called Serenity area. This is an adults-only pool and…
The theme for our travel pics this week is N for Night Scenes. And as the week ends, so too does the night. I have to admit, I’m really proud of this shot. I took it just as the sun ended a peaceful night as we sailed across the Atlantic on the MSC Musica.…
The theme for our travel pics this week is N for Night Scenes. Vietnam’s Halong Bay is, as we’ve mentioned before, a truly magical spot. And that magic doesn’t disappear as the sun goes down. We, as you can see, were anchored fairly close to a number of other boats in the bay – but…
The theme for our travel pics this week is N for Night Scenes. For Friday, it’s a Good Friday scene in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. The sun had just gone down on Good Friday in Zona Colonial, the old centre of the oldest Catholic city in the ‘new world’. Shirley…
The theme for our travel pics this week is N for Night Scenes. They say that “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” … but I couldn’t let this stay there. We only spent three nights in Las Vegas – and that was probably enough (since neither Shirley nor I are gamblers) – but…
