May 2nd - London Camden Market

 After a wonderful buffet breakfast we checked in with our SilverSeas rep and got all our paperwork for the transfer to the ship in Saturday.

This place is the hub for all cruises, Viking, Oceana and SilverSeas all here for the next few days.

We are off on the tube to Camden market and who knows what else, might squeeze in a stop at M&S iff possible.  Got my walking shoes on so the world is my oyster (joke as subway card here called Oyster)

Grey day but they say no rain until over night so fingers crossed.

We got on the tube today and had a clear view of the day.  Well the subway gods had another idea.  As we got off on train to transfer the voice of god came over the speaker saying due to an emergency we were to evacuate the station NOW.  So up we went and when we got to the surface the station was surrounded by emergency vehicles.  So we started to walk to the next station down the line, it too was closed so we jumped on a bus.

How have I missed Camden Market in our past visits.  Cool vibe and lots to see.  Luckily no room in my bags or I would not be the proud owner of a new wardrobe.


          


Bob did squeeze a quick beer before we got onto a canal trip to Paddington.  Only 4 of us board, but still a must do, but only one way.

A lovely walk down the canal we got to Paddington station so another beer was needed.  

Then I got to drop by M&S, a small one so only one purchase.

Then off for dinner and then back to hotel as we have an early morning as we have a train to catch to Cambridge and our adventure with “The Girls”.

Tuesday April 30th - Leave for London

Image
  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...
