Why we love cruising!

Happiness is spending as much time as possible on a cruise!  People ask us why we love Long  Transatlantic cruises..... hmmmmmmmm let me count the ways
Movies under the stars!   What could be better than Popcorn and a hot toddy at sea!



Watching the sun set.....
Falling asleep while reading a book

Rainbows as you are leaving port


A late afternoon stroll
Just before dinner


Following your trip on a big screen TV


Room with a view

Of course there is more to cruising than spending long lovely days at sea......

TRAINS IN NEW ZEALAND
 
 
 
 


 BUSES IN CORNWALL
BOATS IN SCOTLAND





TUK TUKS IN BANGKOK




CAMELS IN EGYPT


AND YOU GUESSED IT.... SUBMARINES IN LOCH NESS!
( no we did't take in a cruise in that ole thing....but it sure was cute, and used in the 60's)


We have met a lot of people....
 Dining in an olive grove   Turkey

Roaming the beautiful streets and hills in Valparaiso Chili

Happy hours in the Diamond plus lounge
( I think we had been there 3 hours!)


And have been able to live like the Locals!
Lunch in Singapore!
Not sure what we ate, but it was the best we ever had!
 

Watching the local men play games....not sure what they were playing, but they had been there for hours!


 Shopping in Cairo,,,,boy would I liked to have brought one of these rugs home!


Drinking local beers....( I don't have enough space for all the pictures of the local pubs! HaHa)


 Our cute local guide in Scotland....He taught us the meaning of the song...you take the high road, I'll take the low road....I still cry every time I listen to it.


Orkney Islands....It was freezing there, and we had to pop in to warm up......
Best beer we had! and we learned to love Toasty sandwiches that day....

Amazing sights along the way.....
 Ancient toilets in Ephesus ........Honestly ! no privacy 2000 years ago!
