The bags are out

All good things have to end, and so does this adventure. We have seen so much and done much. We have sailed past icebergs and walked miles through Scandinavia and Nova Scotia. We never thought we would see anything of Greenland, but we sailed the Prince Christiansen fjord and saw the most glorious glacier formations, and reflections, ice fields and mini icebergs in all shapes and sizes. We saw Bergen in the sunshine, and walked Copenhagen, and got to ride over the huge bridge to Malmo in Sweden. And now we start a new adventure. We are currently off the coast of Nantucket – suddenly all these names from novels and films come alive.

It is always a little sad leaving a ship. It has been your home, and safety, and friend in a foreign port, welcoming you back from a day exploring. And now we are being sent on our way.

New York – we are labelled (green luggage – disembark 10.30am). Then we are on our own in the big city. It will be exciting and a little scary at first, but I am sure we will get the hang it.

More soon
