When i go to it whether on my cell phone or tablet, there are 3 horizontal lines in the upper left hand corner. If you click on them, you will see Archives and a v (pointing down thingie). It you click on the v you get the months with the different chapters. For example April 2020 (2). We went Santiago to Buenas Aires so Chile to Cape Horn will be in earlier months. Thanks I found it. When I started my blog, I had the option of adding an archive to the sidebar. Things have obviously changed to accommodate smaller iDevices. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitchly Posted January 22, 2022 #410 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Very easy to read the new blog format. Great photos, too! Very fun to have the captain and officers serving at the World Café! Wonder if this is just for a world cruise, or if other cruises will see this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel09 Posted January 23, 2022 #411 Share Posted January 23, 2022 So good to see Captain Olaf, the Captain on our last cruise Sydney to UK,via Sth Africa..Viking Sun. A fine man in every respect,managing crew and passengers in such a personable way,remembering our names and Country of origin, and coming back to update previous conversations.. Very happy ship in so many ways... Your Blog is a very nice link to dreams past and present, as a fellow blogger, I understand it is a mission ,but a pleasure. My books [ press a link and it becomes one] are now a delightful link to all cruises past ,like sailing all over again, and recalling details forgotten.. Sail on,and we appreciate everything you write and photograph. I would not dream of asking you to change a thing.!🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosebear Mum Posted January 23, 2022 #416 Share Posted January 23, 2022 That evening of ‘liar’s club’ sounded fantastic fun; great words chosen 🙂. Reminds me of the old BBC game show ‘Call my bluff’, oh how I miss that. I’m really enjoying reading all the blogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWantToLiveOverTheSea Posted January 24, 2022 #417 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I learned two new words! This reminds me of the first time a heard a song by my favorite British/American singer/songwriter James Maddock. There was a line in one of his songs about "faggots chase the plastic spoons racing down the drain." I didn't understand, googled, and found a picture/description of FOOD! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a bit of a shock when shopping in a British supermarket many years ago and came across an entree titled “Four Frozen Faggots in Gravy.” 😳 I think it may have been meatballs. My British hosts couldn’t figure out why I was doubled over laughing in the frozen food aisle. Edited January 24, 2022 by Twitchly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to Google why Alexa wouldn’t let me add them to my shopping list…. “Brains faggots”. is probably what you saw in a shop. Still sold. Brains is the company name, not what they’re made from! Basically they are large soft meatballs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been following the other two blogs and I enjoy the different perspectives. We love to travel, but not so extensively (Viking Istanbul to Venice in May and HAL Quebec City to Boston with 3 stops in Newfoundland in September) but I love to travel vicariously and have done so since laying on the couch reading National Geo as a child in the 60's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a photo of the full breeding plumage of an adult yellow crowned night heron and an immature. Although the artistic rendering makes it look brownish, the description says gray plumage, small white flecks. Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concur with Buckwheel on the BC night heron and snail kite. Thanks again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
