Cadiz – Day 4 – 4th Oct

20/10/202301/11/2023

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here… We’re in Cadiz today, a city we’ve visited many times, and we love it but there’s an issue. I’m full of a cold, probably the first proper cold since COVID, and I feel terrible so after a late breakfast where we were alone

Leaving Cadiz – Day 5- Oct 5th

19/10/202323/10/2023

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here… I’d had a better night’s sleep than yesterday, but for better just read an awful night’s sleep, with a pounding head, sore throat, and constant cough. I did sleep longer though so I’m feeling less drained than yesterday I dragged myself out of

En Route to Mykonos – Day 6 – Oct 6th

18/10/202301/11/2023

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here….. I had another terrible night’s sleep, all I could think about was I really needed a Lemsip and that the ship’s shops had nothing for cold relief, oddly they did stock tampons and condoms when I’m sure there isn’t a massive demand for

En Route to Heraklion – Day 7 – Oct 7th

18/10/202301/11/2023

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here… It was hard losing the hour last night especially as we had a bit of  a late one (for us) but I slept far better than the previous few nights, only being woken a couple of times due to a coughing fit. We’d

Heraklion, Crete – Day 8 – Oct 8th

17/10/202301/11/2023

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here…. Another night and another slightly better sleep, I woke at 07:45 just as we were docking at the port of Heraklion in Crete. This is an unscheduled replacement for Mykonos where forecasted high winds made the tendering there unsafe. There’s a slight problem

Piraeus and Athens – Day 9 – Oct 9th

16/10/202323/10/2023

I slept much, much better, admittedly waking early at 06:15, to find we were already at dock in Piraeus. The view today wasn’t so nice, with the Cruise Terminal opposite. We’ve been to Athens a few times and Jane needs to get some more laundry out of the way, plus

Santorini – Day 10 – Oct 10th

15/10/202301/11/2023

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here… It was bright and sunny this morning and when I opened the curtains of the stateroom we were already in Santorini. I’d have said moored up, but as the bay at Santorini is 400 meters deep, I think that is beyond our anchor

Cephalonia Bound – Day 11 – Oct 11th

14/10/202301/11/2023

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here… Today is our first sea day for what seems like an age but is only 4 days, so after a good nights sleep it was back to planning my morning. First we had to get breakfast out of the way so we had

Cephalonia, Argostoli – Day 12 – Oct 12th

13/10/202309/03/2024

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here… We’d had a massive electrical storm overnight, to be honest I’d not noticed a thing and slept right through it, but Jane said it was spectacular. When I finally woke it was a lovely morning with beautiful views over Argostoli. The early shore

The Straits of Messina – Day 13 – 13th Oct

12/10/202323/10/2023

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here… We got a very welcome extra hour in bed with the clocks going back overnight as we transited towards Italy, this was needed as our stateroom was incredibly hot last night which meant Jane struggled to sleep and it was only when we
