May 6th - Guernsey





GUERNSEY CLIFF WALK & CREAM  St Peter Port, Guernsey

     This is our event for the day, only 20 in our morning group so that will be nice.  Cloudy but they say should not rain …

    What did we learn today:

      1. Guernsey is lovely and we wish we had more time here.

       2.  I will not fall in the ocean doing zodiac trips back and forth to the ship, but I will feel like I might after a quick Vodka and soda in the local pub

       3.   2 Canadians can whip the butts off of 7 Americans at trivia even after a few drinks. 






Today after a zodiac ride to shore we boarded a bus to take us to our walk starting point.  The Jerbourg Peninsula was where we started our 1 1/2 hour walk.  At every point we wanted to stop and look at the view.  So rugged and wild.  But as our guide said so much a part of everyday Guernsey life. In the summer her family would picnic on the beach each day, having walked down the 330 steps from the cliff top to the beach.

End your walk at a local hotel for your Guernsey Cream Tea and admire the stunning views across the coast.

     



So then we walked around the town, saw the church, had a beer chatted with locals.  And headed back to the ship to confirm that I should be able to do the hike I am worried about, have a light lunch, a few drinks and then dominate at trivia.






Last life lesson of the day is….. don’t stand in the shower fully dressed trying to figure out how to run the shower.  Okay the outfit did need to be washed so that did get done.

Off to dinner and then bed, who knows what tomorrow will hold.

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...
