A recent post started us remembering the wonderful sights we have seen on previous cruises - We love "first times" such as:-
Leaving San Fran on our first Alaska cruise on Sitmar, Fair Sea. The pristine Inland Pasage.
Leaving Leningrad on the Royal Viking Star past the Russian N. Atlantic fleet.
Sailing the Stockholm Islands.
Sitting on the stern of the RV Star leaving the Kiel Canal with the sight of beautiful Nordic ladies on sailbots following us.(Looking like the mermaid in Copenhagen,)
Sailing out of many ports on Royal Viking ships with the RV Music, "As we sail away" ringing in our ears. We still hum this as we sail, does RSSC have sail away music?
Leaving many ports with the sound of local bands bidding farewell. Bag pipes in Duneden, NZ, snake dance in Singapore, Luau music in Honolulu.
Sailing into Sydney Harbor early in the morning, anchoring in Padang Bei, Bali in an early morning mist.
Anchoring on the Song of Flower in Caen, Normandy on June 5th 1994 before enjoying a wonderful welcome en route to a re-enactmant of the parachute drop of D-Day in St. Mer D'eglise.
We are sure that many of you have similar "firsts" you would like to share with us. We look forward to reading them.
Happy travels, we are counting down to our 11/6 transatlantic - only 6 weeks and we will,hopefully,be en route.
