BikeTreker Posted July 5 #1 Share Posted July 5 Hello from the Seabourn Sojourn, and more specifically today, from Bordeaux, France. My wife and I joined this beautiful ship on June 29 in Lisbon. We are making our way up the western coast of Spain, into France, then onto the UK, with a brief stop in Belgium for a visit to Bruges or Ghent. We end up in Dover, where we will depart the ship and head home with a flight from Heathrow in the afternoon of July 13, 2024. I am posting and will continue to post about our trip, with the occasional commentary and photos of the ship. If you are interested in either this itinerary with this ship, you may want to follow along. My blog is heavy with photos with minimal commentary. I post more or less daily, depending on what we’re doing and the time I have available. Ultimately, the entire trip will be posted at my blog. If you are interested, you can follow along at http://www.travelswithcappy.com. Let me know what you think. Positive and/or constructive comments are always welcome. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSC77 Posted July 6 #6 Share Posted July 6 Very nice, enjoying your pictures and commentary. I also enjoyed your pictures of Avignon and Arles; we just returned home last week from southern France including both of these wonderful cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whystayhome Posted July 8 #8 Share Posted July 8 What kind of camera do you have? Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeTreker Posted July 8 Author #9 Share Posted July 8 I am using an iPhone 14 Pro. I have used a Sony 6300 in the past with interchangeable lenses but wanted to travel light, hence the iPhone. I do have some additional lenses designed for the iPhone that work with the camera but for the most part, its just the iPhone and me. For photos I may want to print I use the main camera/lens in RAW at 48 megapixel for high definition. Hope this answers your question, its probably more than you were looking for.
