If anyone remembers the dual blogging we are thinking of doing it again Keith’s blogs were way funnier than mine so it should be a bit of craic This is just to see if the old blog still works

Jonny’s Gang!
Nobody puts baby (or anybody) in the corner in Jonny’s gang! Got asked yesterday to write about what made CMV Columbus stand out from the crowd Well I’ve cruised with most of the mainstream lines and I think they are all really good. Each does what they do brilliantly so if you want ice skating…
Lubeck, weird & wonderful
Docked in Travemunde, Germany, took the train to the pretty Medieval town of Lubeck and discovered the weirdest Church I’ve ever been to The devil has been cast outside, legend says he’s lurking there to pick up lost souls from the wine bar opposite…. I adore stained glass windows. Most of the original Church windows…
Hello Helsinki
Apparently you can go to Helsinki and behave sensibly… We didn’t! Every statue seemed to have its own seagull And you get the best photos of the trams if you stand in front of them Not all the sculptures were pretty, but none as weird as Lubeck Other highlights were the Frazer Chocolate Cafe and…
London Calling
Any excuse really! When a friend is visiting London and you have to be in London you may as well just extend a couple of days to join them, right? The trip mostly involved discount theatre tickets, bad selfies and delicious food Shows were Mama Mia for the feel good factor and to get me…
Vespa Days Belfast or Vietnam
Been a bit confused these last few days. So many scooters zipping around Belfast it’s just like being back in the Far East, only cooler Less people per scooter Generally carrying smaller loads But much prettier And from all over Europe! We have had sales to Austria, Holland, Poland, Germany, France and Spain and even…
A grand day out
Possibly in the wrong trousers, but that’s Keith’s story 😂. Yes we are Wallace & Gromit fans! Mullaghmore last week the beach looked like this Today we didn’t go down because it looked more like this! So we went to see Paddy because we fancied a poke! The queue was out the door, eh this…
Memories
Is posting your travel pics on Facebook the equivalent of going to someone’s house years ago and them getting the holiday snaps out? At least these days we can edit the pictures and hopefully get good shots – sometimes complete strangers bring back memories of cutting people’s heads off!!! I love seeing people’s holiday snaps,…
Hong Kong – Up early, Star Ferry
Day 2 in Hong Kong doing my own thing, so it was up early for the shuttle into town. It was chaos in the terminal, NCL had a ship disembarking and everyone seemed to be aiming for the same buses. Thankfully we jumped on a bus, walked to the train & found someone to sell…
Hong Kong – Lantau
Hong Kong has to be the only place in the world where the cruise terminal is in an airport – the old Kai Tak Airport Country of Contrast is how I’d describe Hong Kong. That was even more apparent on day 2, but first day we were off on the ferry to Lantau Part of…
Markets Far East Style
There’s something about a wander around a market that’s very appealing and back home we take part in some great food & craft markets, so even though it was only a small part of our day in Lantau, one of the Hong Kong islands, I really enjoyed the walk round the local market Dried or…
