La Coruna, Spain. . . . . . . .




 Last port of call in Spain was La Coruna which we enjoyed.
Following a somewhat rough crossing of the Bay of Biscay,
we are 'home'.

This morning Queen Victoria is back in Southampton and we are preparing
 to disembark shortly after a really wonderful pre-Christmas cruise.

Heading to Devon today - more later.

The voyage continues. . . . .


. . . . . . but the Internet has not been friendly!  
Will be catching up with you once we are back in the UK hopefully.

Crossing the Bay of Biscay. . . . . . .


Queen Victoria left Southampton Monday night with us, and a full complement
 of 1,900  passengers, 90% of whom must be Brits!!!  
So far the crossing from the English Channel to the Bay of Biscay has been
 fabulous with a moderate swell. Walking on the covered Promenade Deck
 and open Lido area has been a bit chilly, however this morning the sunshine
 is bright and I'm off shortly to promenade again while Bob sits comfortably in
 the theatre for the morning lecture by a well known British broadcaster.
 Why anyone would want to listen to someone talk about world politics
 rather than enjoy looking at this amazing ocean, beats me! 
Here, we are now passing the northern coast of Spain on our way to the
 first port of call, Lisbon, Portugal. We will arrive there tomorrow 
morning.

Two views from our balcony on this brilliant morning.

Anyway dear readers, Internet is somewhat slow, and very expensive,
 so I'm off now to enjoy life at sea!
