Whitstable Harbour.

Does it count?😉

Lovely, my son is going through the process of buying a house in Whitstable and I am looking forward to visiting him there. We both enjoy that area so much and it's only just over an hour from where we live so I can get a taste of the sea without having to cruise.

My final set of Ws - Whitsunday Islands, NZ. We had a trip in a seaplane to see the Great Barrier reef from the air. The seaplane itself was a first for us and we had the added bonus of taking off and landing on both land and sea as we had to pick people up on the way. As we were the first to board this very small plane I got to sit at the front next to the pilot. It was a wonderful experience.

Photos are of Oriana, the sea plane, the Great Barrier Reef and Whitehaven Beach which was spectacular seen from the sky.

Wellington NZ. A few with Oriana and two ships names Aurora. I found the dock area amazing.

Just come across this thread, thought you might like photos of super yacht ACE and its support ship ***** with the 'toys' on deck which we saw in Alesund on Oriana's last cruise 

 

 

We were on that cruise too and saw these ships. The port official told me that the one nearest the port gate was for the crew!

These are some different Venice pictures - these are from Burano in 2009

 

Super photos of Burano, I have some too but not as good as these. You certainly have the eye for a good pic.

My photos of Venice are from cruises on Adonia, Oriana and Aurora but none of the ships themselves. One is of a building that looks like a ship with large portholes.

Valparaiso, Chile, Aurora. Three photos, one showing the ship, one that looks like a painting again and the third of the station platform that was damage in front of our eyes when the train derailed. We were seconds away from getting onto the platform when this happened.

Vigo - We like this port too, don't understand that many people have dissed it.

On Oriana waving goodbye to Britannia and another where you can see the yellow funnel of Oriana.

Valletta - Oriana

Viale Tessai, Portoferraio, Elba and this time an actual photo of the ship -Seabourne Legend.

Virgin Gorda on Seabourne Pride and their special treat of Champagne and caviar in the surf. Wonderful experience for my 60th birthday some years ago now.

I have a number of V ports so will start with Valencia - Oriana not in sight but we were there. Not a favourite port which is strange for me as I like anything in Spain.

Back to the Us for this - Uruguay. Aurora plus one other.

Here is Oriana in Trieste in October 2017. We were supposed to go to Venice, but were told that we couldn’t get in due to fog. The trouble was other ships did get in to Venice that day and everyone looked at webcams which showed there was no fog! At least we got to see somewhere different that doesn’t get to appear on many P&O itineraries.

Yes, we were on that cruise too - see above. We were told the pilots could not take in because of fog. Oops, sorry the time we could not get in was Christmas Eve 2013.

Finally, for my Ts something a bit different. It possibly overlaps with the "What are things like where you are" thread where there has been a discussion on the birds people have seen. problem for us is that Wood Pidgeons have nested in our Yew tree this year and the other small birds have been scared away.

T is for Turtle Dove who hitched a ride on our Adonia balcony when we had left Malaga and were headed for Southampton. I was told they are quite rare, so someone might like to see this as it's on a ship.
