Iceland, Scotland and Northern Ireland Cruise on Carnival Pride – Day 1 [Flight to London]
A very long day. It started with a flight at 2 AM, included two flights, a tube ride, a train ride and about 11 miles of walking (mostly along the white cliffs of Dover).
Norwegian Fjords Cruise – Day 11 [Cruise Disembarkation in Amsterdam]
End of the cruise. Time to leave and start another adventure
Norwegian Fjords Cruise – Day 10 [Sea Day]
Today was the final full day of the cruise. I had yet to take advantage of the hot tub, so I made sure I experience them before the end of the day. I also utilized my martini tasting coupon in the Martini bar. I participated in the Escape Room and partied like it was 1999 with the silent disco to end the night.
Norwegian Fjords Cruise – Day 9 [Stavanger, Norway]
Today is the final port of call for the cruise. It’s hard to believe the cruise is almost over already. Today the ship visits Stavanger, Norway – the one place on the cruise I haven’t been to yet. I decided to walk over to the church (bad idea) then to the archeological museum. I still had some time left so I walked through the old town area over to some old mansions.
Norwegian Fjords Cruise – Day 8 [Geiranger, Norway]
Today is the most scenic day of the entire trip. The ship will sail into Geiranger through Geirangerfjord.
Norwegian Fjords Cruise – Day 7 [Bergen, Norway]
A nice day in Bergen. I started the day with a funicular ride to a viewpoint overlooking Bergen. I went to the Bergenhus Fortress and the UNESCO World Heritage site Bryggen.
Norwegian Fjords Cruise – Day 6 [Ålesund, Norway]
Today is the first stop of the cruise, in Ålesund, Norway. The weather was less than spectacular, it rained nearly the entire day and I had planned mostly outdoor activities (scenic viewpoint and the Sunnmøre open air museum)…

I arrived in Amsterdam today and visited Zaans Schanse where there is a large group of windmills and historic buildings.
Norwegian Fjords Cruise – Day 1 [Houston to Amsterdam]
Leaving on a jet plane (okay, so it is technically a “turbofan” engine and not a jet). I departed Houston this morning and flew to Amsterdam via Dallas on American Airlines.

A full day exploring Marid. An Egyptian temple, bullfighting ring and more.
Madrid – Day 3
My second day in Madrid. I started by visiting the Royal Palace. I also visited the Royal Botanical Gardens and re-visited the Prado Museum to see what I missed yesterday. I finished the day with a dip in the pool with the sunset and dinner in Plaza Mayor.

Madrid – Day 1
First day in Madrid. Despite only being half a day, it was full of adventure. I visited one church and one museum (two museums if you count the Museo del Jamon!)
