    Daryl,

     

    Love the wildlife pics!  Using your phone or a DSLR?

     

    The red-footed booby pic near the bottom left is particularly good.  Were you shooting through the glass screen at the rec deck? (As it seemed like there are some funny artifacts in some of the pics when enlarged.  But that may just be my glasses. LOL)

     

     Thanks,

    Hello, I am using the Sony RX10 MIV. Great camera for my use. I have seen a few on the ship.

     

    That picture was through the glass in explorers as they had the deck closed at that time.

     

    cheers

    I saw your pictures on how you re-arranged your room, and it looks great.  We are wondering where you stored the huge tray that was on the coffee table.  The one thing we do is take the garbage can out from under the bathroom sink to give more storage space.  We put the garbage can beside the toilet, and it is not in the way at all.  Only 12 days before we are on board !!

    The tray is on the table in the corner, pretty much buried there.

     

    Cheers

    We were there this past March and it was a bit drippy and windy as well, but still enjoyed the tour of the ruins.  Who did you have as your guide?  We had Juan and he was excellent!  Also - was the Virgin ship the Scarlet Lady?  We did a short cruise on her in January.  Very different from Viking in about every way, but we had a good time.

     

    Our guide Patrick was excellent and he pointed out that the rain was actually a good thing as it washed away the dust and we could see shards of pottery and bits of obsidian. A really good first expedition 

     

    yes that was the scarlet lady. I can only imagine how different that would be. 
     

    cheers

    We had a safari we had planned get cancelled due to illness.  We are looking for a cruise from Capetown, preferably to Europe, that would include on opportunity for a safari before the cruise.  We found some on Oceania and Cunard (the latter did not seem to have land excursions of this type).  Any other suggestions?

    Azamara has a Cape Town to Lisbon, 3 back to back’s actually. My DW and are booked in February  2024.

    The port is brand-spanking new. It's worth a look, even to check out the shops from the local artisans.

    I agree, we were just there and it is very nice and the people even nicer. But the beer was a bit speedy.

     

    cheers,

    Daryl
