May 18th - Disembark in Reykjavik, Iceland


 This morning is another early one as we have to get off the ship starting at 6:15 am to have our passports checked.  Then back on board to have breakfast and then we get our bus around 9 to get to the hotel.  

The bus transfer was great and quick, and we won the room lottery as our room was ready.  After a bit of the rest we headed out to walk the city, I have an app of maps on my phone so can’t get lost.  
We hit the highlights,  the church, with a choral practice going on, a wander down the high street, a trip to see the whale museum and then rounded it off with an Icelandic hot dog.









It is an early night as we both have hit the travel wall.  We got a hamburger from a local handout.  But tomorrow we have another long day doing the Golden Circle route.

Tuesday April 30th - Leave for London

  Limo pick us up at noon and we head to YYZ Bags were packed early and we got picked up early by our Blacklane driver.  Quick trip to YYZ.  No lines at all at check in or security so safely in the lounge awaiting our flight.and  Bob found the sweet cart and the bar so we are good. We might even squeeze in a glass of bubbly.  Flights on American Airlines Leaving from Toronto to Charlotte North Carolina at 4:15 pm. This flight was delayed to 5:10 so we did not have much time to make our flight connection in Charlotte, luckily we were at front of the plane and the next gate was only about 15 minutes away.   Luckily had been checked through so Bob was able to have a quick Beer and sing O Canada before the Leaf game started, we have not watched it yet but know they won, all due to the singing in the bar. Flight to London Heathrow was good, lots of room up front.    Had a few bevies and dinner and then a nap.  It was quite bumpy so not much sleep....

May 11th - Tobermory and Duart

Image
  ·          Morning ·          Tobermory,  Scotland, United Kingdom     Due to something about crazy water conditions we had our port changed to Tobermory, which was wonderful.  We did a wonderful hike for about 2 1/2 hours along the coast and then up to the top of the cliff.   Then into town for a quick look around and Bob got a pint, it was only 11 am so too early for me so had a pink lemonade. Bob did buy a tshirt to wear when he goes diving in the Canadian Tobermory.  It was hot almost mid70’s so one man in our group hiked without his shirt on, no pics of this as not something you want to see.      We then had a light lunch on our balcony as we cruise to our next stop for the day the castle listed below. Afternoon ·          DUART CASTLE ·          Duart, Isle of Mull, Hebrid...
