I have no U, but here's Ullapool, a port I would like to visit, on my continued explorations of Scotland

Not much in the way of cruise ships on my remaining V's, but enjoyable places to visit.  I have much nicer Venice pictures tucked away in the loft, from pre-digital days. Unfortunately our 2011 visit was dull and damp

Valencia,  2011

We are due to go to Venice in October 2021.  If we get there, and there's an excursion to Burano, I'm on it 

We went by waterbus from the stop near where the ship docks, you have change at Murano but you easily have time to do both. We did both and our ship left at 3:00 on our 2nd day.

Thank you, that's interesting to know.

 

Hopefully we won't still  be on 'bubbled' excursions by then

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.

Venice is lovely to walk around.

We walked from Piazza Roma to St Marks square then walked back and crossed the Rialto bridge.

Last time we were there no restaurant cooked Garlic Bread.

They said it is an English thing not Italian.

Yes, we arrived late afternoon on the Rocky Mountaineer and left the next afternoon on Diamond Princess and had a great hotel overnight, We felt quite special.

We were in Valetta on the day of my husbands 65th birthday as part of a Mediterranean cruise on Aurora in April 2019.It was also Aurora's birthday during the cruise. The 3rd photo shows the framed print that I had made for my husband for his birthday

So many amazing photos so thank you for making this very strange 'travel-less' time more bearable!

We haven't visited many Ws but here is what I have.....

Fred Olsen, Boudicca, Wewak, Papua New Guinea....The local people were so pleased to see ship arrive and they gave us a fabulous welcome. I love Fred Olsen's small ships because they can get into such unusual ports and they have great itineraries. I loves Adonia for the same reason.

 a couple more Ws...

Ocean Princess, Walvis Bay, Namibia

The second picture shows our tour group getting up close to a very friendly pelican when we went for a boat excursion across the bay. There were lots of flamingos too

My last W is...

Radiance of the Seas, Wellington, New Zealand.
