Yesterday we had A lovely trip to a small down in Normandy –just amazingly beautiful. And today we had another wonderful excursion to another small town on the sea. Today it rained, poured actually, and I loved it. Yes, the wind blew our umbrellas inside out and our raincoats and cameras got wet, but we’d been told there is often rain and wind in the area, so I really enjoyed lapping it up.
Why a bonus? Because today we were supposed to be in La Havre, but the ship had to spend another night here in Cherbourg because of strikes that would tie up the roads in La Havre, preventing any excursions away from the ship. So, another day here in this lovely area.
Tomorrow we move on to Rotterdam. All kinds of celebrations are planned in honor of this new ship, including a dedication by the Queen.
We’re nearing the end of the trip, but we have three days to look forward to in Amsterdam after leaving the ship before flying home. The end of the cruise always makes me feel sad.
At any rate, I plan to keep you posted until my paid WiFi plan runs out.

It sounds like you are having a wonderful time, and that you are filling yourself up with beautiful sights, sounds and experiences, Mona. Even though this trip will come to an end, I have the feeling there are more memory-making trips in your future to look forward to. Wishing you a really good week and safe and healthy travels home.
Thanks, Gaye. Two more nights on board, then three days in Amsterdam before returning home — until the next trip …
We miss you, but I’m happy that you’re having such a glorious time.Stay well.
Thanks, Susan. It will be good to be home, but in the meantime there is still much to enjoy.
Your trip sounds absolutely wonderful. Have fun!
Thanks. It continues, but soon will be over.
Didn’t know you were traveling in Europe. Do hope you are enjoying yourself. I love living here on the European Continent.
Shalom,
Patricia
