    Bit the bullet today and spent some of my tripped up a deal credit from my cancelled  Georgia/Armenia/Azerbaijan tour that was supposed to have happened April last year.

    Commencing 15/2/22 I'll will follow that with a 10 day self drive tour of NZ south island and fly home presuming there will be no return cruises happening.

    So many nice places on the South Island and both times we visited in February the weather was really good.

    Starting to feel like I have feather allergy or something like that, so should I take on a trip my own pillow with no feather in it or I can ask for it on reception? I need a latex one or a bamboo one not sure

    I am certain we were given latex pillows on Celebrity when we asked. I think Holland America as well although not certain about that one.

    Yes.  Another thought:  my last cruise pre-Covid on HAL was on Westerdam.  The library was a shadow of what it had been.  But, during the reincarnation of this space, many empty shelves appeared.  I was pleased to see that some of those shelves were being used by the ship's guests leaving their now read books.  I left mine.  

    It was the same on the Rotterdam when we did our Transatlantic in November 2019. They had a games area near the coffee bar where they had board games in the book shelves and also a number of books which guests swapped or left there after reading them.

    Perth - I would definitely visit Kings Park. It overlooks the City and the river in different directions. It is just beautiful and is a great place to look around. Beautiiful gardens and a fantastic restaurant as well.

     

    Albany - I would try to get a tour as everything is spread out but the coastline is absolutely fantastic on the Whale world side. On a cruise we did some English people got off the boat and had a tour with a local Taxi waiting just outside the Cruise terminal. They had a fantastic tour.

    Yes, it is directly across the water from Gallopoli, or Gelibolou as known locally.

    The town is Cannakale.

    I cannot always tell answers from non answers! 

    Your turn.

     

    The reason i asked is because we were on a cruise ship sailing North through the Dardanelles and we saw the Fort as we passed it and my Brother in Law took a photo. When we looked back at the photo it was like a ship coming out of fog. Really eery and obviously memorable.

    Most probably too easy but where is this attraction?

    Thanks for the laugh, which is the only way to handle the disruption the virus is causing to our lives.  

    Would like to be more like my daughters who just emailed me to say they may be able to stay another fortnight in NSW, because the numbers are low.  

    Like you, I don't want to book anything outside my State. 

    I think our Premier is not keen on Cruises for the moment and wants the ban extended beyond March. There was a story in todays West Australian Newspaper stating that he mentioned it on Saturday.

    Park City, Utah.

    Correct. We arrived there on the last day the lifts were operating for the summer season (cyclists were using the lifts). It was a stopover for a USA canyon and national park self driving tour. A really great holiday.
