I meant last night while y'all were still in the Channel!  Silly overtook and passed Beyond.

 

We had dinner in Luminae last night.     We found out our waiter was leaving today.   Will miss him

We were planning on lawn club but last cruise the winds and temperatures didn’t cooperate.

Love that picture 

[Jim_Iain]

Spotted this out the window.   Solentfort.com 

 

would be  wild getaway but currently closed. 
 

[hawkesbaynz]

That's a great picture of the fort. Used to be Groupon deals on overnights on the fort.

 

Enjoy the cruise. We had that itinerary booked in May 2020 in a suite😒

 

I was hoping to see The Beyond but she is still moored. Winnie is sleeping and I am now drinking gin. Will have to wait until September when I board her. Am on holiday in Devon next week for her inaugural.

Forward for Spain, they are one hour in front of UK.

Then back I hour for Portugal, as they are the same time as UK.

I hope you managed to snaffle the left overs from your first leg😉

We loved Porto & spent 3 nights there on an independent trip to Portugal. Ubers used to be pretty cheap there so would recommend taking one to the upper town & than walking back toward the river. Make sure you see the tile work in the train station- gorgeous.  Have been enjoying your blog so thanks for sharing & taking the time to post.

Been meaning to ask, are you from the Hawkes Bay? Just had a glorious Easter weekend down there. Quaffing wine of course!

We did.  

 

Unfortunately, no photographs inside any of the Castle.    I sure wanted to sneak a picture.

 

The detail of the furniture, flowers, cars etc of the doll house were incredible. 

We were there a few days ago and managed to sneak some pictures.

@Jim_Iain: I am guessing that you said this somewhere or other, but when you are in Europe or on the way, do you watch Netflix (for example) with a VPN, or does the X streaming WiFi not give you any issues about being in the wrong part of the world?

Such a great itinerary! Love Vigo--make sure you arrive early at the seafood market.  Some stalls sell out.  Porto and La Rochelle are beautiful.  Somehow I missed this itinerary when searching for cruises.  Definitely would have been there to join the fun.  Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful photos and commentary.

What are your plans for Paris (Le Havre)?
 

Loved the pictures of Windsor.  We had a great visit there, and I also ended up with a couple pictures inside.

Last night we had a small farewell to Anthony at downstairs Retreat

 

He is a great bartender and took very good care of us.  I am sure he will be missed, if only briefly.
