Hubby is doing a charity bike ride to the WW2 beaches just a month earlier, so thinking maybe catch the train to Rouen one day and the bus or taxi to Honfleur and/or Deauville. Or rent a car 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Patricia. Paris is a beautiful city that we have been to many times including our honeymoon almost 43 years ago. You need several days there to appreciate the city. The journey to and from Le Havre cruise port is very long. Regards to Bucky too. Graham. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not usually our "cup of tea", but would have put up with it for the tour we booked. But that was booked before we knew about the summer Olympics there. Will be interesting if they still run that tour at that time. Hello to your beautiful bride Pauline. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILCTCRUISER Posted March 19 #4510 Share Posted March 19 Agree with @grapau27, Paris calls for 3 days at the very minimum to enjoy what it has to offer. Really, one could fill a full week easily. But, @island lady, do take advantage of the excursion you’ve planned. I’ll hazard a guess it’ll be a great teaser and you’ll head back in the future to explore further. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wynkys Posted March 20 #4512 Share Posted March 20 In my opinion, Honfleur is a great option. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwich Cruiser Posted March 20 #4513 Share Posted March 20 If you’ve never been it’s probably worth putting up with the transfers but totally agree that Honfleur is well worth a visit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyZolt Posted March 20 #4514 Share Posted March 20 We were in Bali, Indonesia today. We saw many amazing statues, plants, carvings -- incredible sensory overload! Here are a few photos, but they don't really do the place justice. The monkeys are in the Ubud Monkey Forest -- they are Balinese Long Tail Monkeys. 44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Our tour guide took us there. A quick stop as it was not scheduled but because we had time the tour guide added it. I have good memories of the stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted March 21 #4519 Share Posted March 21 7 hours ago, CSHS1979 said: Canon pics. Still don't get the appeal over the cell phone I've almost completely stopped bringing my big Canon and lenses with me and shoot almost always using my phone (in RAW using Lightroom Mobile). It's much less to carry and still gives me good control over post processing. I'll still use my Canon if I want to blow something up to hang on a wall, if I want shallow depth of field (i.e. like John's monkey pics), if I want to precisely control shutter speed, or if I want to use a regular flash. For other shots, especially typical "snap shots" when posting on social media in a small size, I don't think you can tell the difference. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted March 21 Author #4521 Share Posted March 21 Just received an email from friends who were with us on the first quarter. Chris and Jocelyn are also reboarding now in Barcelona through to Miami. Yaaaahhh!!! 😍 They just booked yesterday, so I guess there is still room on the ship for new bookings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't get the appeal over the cell phone If you know how to actually use a "real" camera (DLSR), then there is no comparison to the creativity and quality of the photos compared to a phone camera. Phone cameras have come a long way in a short amount of time, but there is no way a $1500 beats a $3000 camera if the photographer knows how to use the DLSR (not just putting it on automatic and clicking - using shutter speeds, ISO, depth of field, aperture - are all things that camera phones simply do not do (yet). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
