Baltic, Iceland, Norway and the U.K.on a cruise

Lol, we are currently bracing for a heat wave, our Wednesday through to Saturday are all forecast to be 40 C or higher.

[MicCanberra]

We leave on Thursday, to sail out of Hong Kong on Sunday, Spectrum Of the Seas. We get back on the 30th. so have a great Xmas.

Yes we would also like that but Photobucket had a power failure several days ago and has yet to fix the problem . We completed a cruise which we would like to review if or when Photobucket begins operations again .

Looking forward to your next batch.

Thanks for the tip . It's kinda frustrating to have your photos just disappear . I'm in the editing mode today and when I'm finished I will take a look at Imgur  if Photobucket isn't back up and running when I've finished .

[scubacruiserx2]

It looks like our photos from Photobucket have returned but we still can't upload any new photos yet .

Totally bummed as I enjoy viewing your photos so very much (you take excellent photos). Wonder ... what is the issue with uploading on CC (rhetorical)?

We're still waiting on Photobucket since so many of our reviews had photos . Our annual payment is due January 15th so we're going to wait and see .

Thank you very much we're glad that you enjoy them .We have found a way to bypass Photobucket but it is a reduced size and detailed photos . We are doing an active review of the ABC islands here :

 

If the photos don't return soon , we will pick up where we left off using the new process .

An Island spotted

 

 

 

 

It takes a village

Glad the photos are back. Hope you had a great Xmas.

We could't get the family together until yesterday but it was great . Pat and our middle grandson  played some reindeer games and guess who won ?

 

 

[MicCanberra]

LOL, and it is fitting that the reindeer (Carabou) are the only animal where the females retain there antlers.

Beautiful colors in our wake

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And what's this ?

 

 

We hope it'd not a fluke sighting . Believe it or not , our next tour is with BS Tours

 

 

 

[MicCanberra]

We used BS tours as well, we had a van that drove us around, the guide was informative but was difficult to hear (no microphone/sound system) when at the back and he was driving.

Great minds think alike ? Bessa is his wife and drives the larger vehicle and she drives the smaller vehicle .

[MicCanberra]

We used them in Isafjordur, they took us to the Dynjandi waterfall, and Hrafneysri a little town where he negotiated some prices for buying coffee and cake in US for us (as most people didn't have any Icelandic Krona. the drive over and through the mountains was glorious. The hike up to the top of the waterfall was well worth it as well,

Did you have any midges at Dynjandi ?

We had some at the foot of the falls, (first 50m) but they where not at most of them or by the picnic tables near the carpark.
