Out of the way
I seem to have gotten out of the way of posting on the blog I’ve lots to finish, the cruise, the baking, a trip to England with my mum, lots of beach trips with the dog… I’ve also such itchy feet but don’t want to travel too much in August when there’s tourists everywhere In…
Paradise in Guandaloupe
I can only describe Isle de Gosier as a little piece of Paradise! Not the simplest place to get to, especially as we went the scenic route as we’d hoped to do some snorkelling at a marine reserve but murky waters, rickety boats & lack of proper equipment hire put us off There was a…
Santo Domingo
One of the best bits of small ship cruising is you reach the smaller ports where the big ships are just too, well, big! And so we arrived right in the centre of Santo Domingo. Our Seargent Major, as we nicknamed her, Had done her research and four of us headed out to Los Tres…
Jamaica, up the falls
A girl from Belfast goes up the falls, nothing special there, except this was Dunns River Falls in Ocho Rios, Jamaica! I’d wanted to climb the falls, since I first visited Jamaica when my children were young, my son didn’t want to climb so I stayed with him while my daughter climbed, so for me…
Santiago de Cuba beach & dancing
Out with the girls for the afternoon, let’s go to the beach! The closest beach was 20 miles away so we needed a taxi and there was only one driver left at the port but we still managed to negotiate a deal. Only a black lada car remained in the car park & I was…
Santiago de Cuba – morning
Somehow I was persuaded to set my alarm for 6am to watch the sail into port! I’m not a morning person, so arriving on deck, wrapped up in a fleece, in the pitch black, let’s just say I was not a happy bunny! Like someone flicked a switch, the sky cleared and we were treated…
Havana Nights
We had almost 2 nights in Havana and they were made for partying! We’d just got back on board, hot & sticky and perhaps a little tipsy from the Hemingway tour when another new friend suggested we get off the ship and experience some real Cuban food so that’s how a short while later I…
Hemingways Havana
Courage is Grace under Pressure A favourite quote and now a favourite place! We gathered in the Darwin Lounge for our 2pm tour, Hemingways Trails, I was a little surprised to be getting a bus for a 2 hour walking tour, but discovered that came later, first we drove to the outskirts of Havana to…
Havana morning
9am at the plank – that was to become our meeting place, late enough for a good breakfast, early enough to miss the heat & the crowds. So off I went with 2 new friends, Linda & Howard, also solo travellers. Out of the port & turn left, then 10CUC, about £8 bought us a…
Club Tropicana
Club Tropicana drinks are free Fun & sunshine there’s enough for everyone 🎤🎤🎤 Late arrival into Havana meant there was no time to explore before our trip to Club Tropicana 1500 people pack into the arena every night of the week to watch 200 dancers strut their stuff! Girls are met with a flower, while…
Havana Arrival
From a distance it looked pretty much like any other city port, jam packed with buildings, sky scrapers, domes… We’d been sailing along the coast of Cuba since early afternoon, due to dock at 5pm. I guess it was around 4pm that people started to gather on deck to watch the sail in and shortly…
