Icebergs, Whales and Glaciers

On August 21, 2016August 29, 2016 By bollingerbabeIn CruisesLeave a comment

After a good night's sleep, lulled gently by the motion of the Boudicca in the clear fjord, we awoke early and looked out of our portholes. We couldn't see a thing; thick sea fog made it impossible.  As we were due to spend the day 'scenic cruising' through the Prins Christian Sund we hoped the …

Tasiilaq, Greenland

On August 20, 2016August 29, 2016 By bollingerbabeIn CruisesLeave a comment

It was with excitement that we woke up this morning and eagerly looked out of our portholes for our first glimpse of Greenland.  We had tried to go to Greenland on a cruise 10 years ago (June 2006) but there was too much sea ice so the ship, the Funchal, couldn't risk trying to land.  …

Clouds and Mist and Fog and Sea

On August 19, 2016August 29, 2016 By bollingerbabeIn CruisesLeave a comment

We were up just after eight o'clock, as usual, and looking out of our portholes we couldn't tell where the sky ended and the sea started.  Fog is common in northern latitudes in the summer; the warm air  above the cold sea leads to a dense mist above the waves.  We hoped the weather would …

Swimming in the Blue Lagoon

On August 18, 2016August 29, 2016 By bollingerbabeIn CruisesLeave a comment

We were awake early this morning as the Boudicca was going into port, because her engines were rumbling loudly and our beds were vibrating quite a lot, from about 5.00am onwards.  It was difficult to get back to sleep after that, so were up and in the dining room in good time, as we had …

At Sea Once Again

On August 17, 2016August 29, 2016 By bollingerbabeIn CruisesLeave a comment

We woke up around eight o'clock this morning to another fine day, as we went up to the Secret Garden for our breakfast.  We had the whole day to do what we wanted, when we wanted, and we were looking forward to what the Boudicca had to offer us.  While we were there, we noticed …

Fabulous Faroes

On August 16, 2016September 1, 2016 By bollingerbabeIn CruisesLeave a comment

I got up this morning about 8.20am feeling, as expected, a little worse for wear.  Walking to the bathroom the fourth toe on my left foot was painful; on closer examination it was swollen, bent over to the left a bit, and slightly discoloured – obviously broken.  But there's nothing you can do with a …

Relaxing at Sea

On August 15, 2016September 1, 2016 By bollingerbabeIn CruisesLeave a comment

We were up about 8.00am and looked out of our portholes, to a fairly calm sea and blue sky with fluffy white clouds. We hoped it would be a fine day, but on this cruise we really didn't know what sort of weather to expect, heading north as we were. When we got along to …
