BARCELONA PORT – 12 – 27 October 2026
Back in the 1970s I did a lot of “cruising”, it was really my preferred choice of getting from A to B; Sydney to Port Moresby, Sydney to Auckland, Sydney to Singapore and my favourite Singapore to Hong Kong.  Many years later I enjoyed the wonderful river cruise that I did with Christine, Rhonda and Ray – Budapest to Amsterdam.  So doing a cruise around the Mediterranean sounded wonderful.

BARCELONA, SPAIN – 7-12 October 2026
I have to say, if you were to pick one city in Spain to visit, I’d highly recommend Barcelona. We arrived on Wednesday evening and our luggage arrived on the same flight (although we had packed extra in our hand luggage to ensure we were prepared for loss luggage LOL).  Our accommodation at H10 Catalunya Plaza is amazing, would definitely recommend as it’s right in the old part of town.

LANZAROTE, CANARY ISLANDS – 4 – 6/10/26
After yesterday’s 5-star tour, we’ve got some pretty high expectations for the next trip.  For some unknown reason, I thought we would be taking a ferry ride and there would only be the four of us.  Sadly, it was a similar situation to yesterday, a double-decker bus and a shit load of people.  Ah well, we were spoiled by the Collette tour in the Azores.

LANZAROTE, CANARY ISLANDS  – 3 October 2026
After our first “commercial” tourist tour we’ve voted that Christine has outdone herself. That bloody car can stay in the driveway forever for all we care.  At 8.30am we walk down to the main road and wait where we’ve been told to wait for the “bus”, and it turned up!  So, we consider this as a bonus!
