On our first morning in Basel, we woke rather late, but breakfast was served until 11:00 so we didn’t miss out. Before going to breakfast, though, we called at Reception to arrange breakfasts for the week and a very nice young man on duty gave us discounts as Senior Citizens…
We left Bologna for Florence, full of plans for our cruise to Greece and the Greek Isles, never imagining that it wouldn’t happen.
We were up early the next day in Bunbury to see the dolphins come close to shore on Bunbury Beach.
Our day in Christchurch left us with bitter-sweet memories.
Our Pacific cruise has come to an end as our ship, SS Noordam, is berthed between the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House in Sydney, Australia.
After 5 days at sea we arrived at the city of Apia, Upolu in Samoa (pronounced S’moa).
We remained in Iceland for 2 more days, sailing South to the Capital, Reykjavik.
We enjoyed Cologne. It is a city with so many really beautiful buildings and a lovely promenade along the bank of the Rhine River.
On leaving the train yesterday evening, we once again got a strong icy blast as we had in Hamburg.
