Traveler Photos

First night at dinner and there was more food than I had stomach to eat 😋

Went to the titanic museum and a local craft market

We went to the little Chapel and saw a lot of the country side. Very pretty.

Invergordon was nice but it rained the entire day. 😑

Went to St Giles cathedral and the Holyrood house. We saw were people had left flowers for Queen Elizabeth's funeral. So sad

Went to St Giles Cathedral and to Holyrood House. Saw where they left flowers for Queen Elizabeth's funeral

This was my favorite stop!!! The quaint town, the people, the horse down carriages, and the chocolate. I will return here and stay for a week.

It was nice but not somewhere I would return to. I would like to have seen windmills and tulips but I didn't.

The cruise was Ok except that they canceled two of the best ports and kept us at sea for two days instead of giving us other choices. hey could have picked two other ports so we could have spent our money more wisely. They took advantage of the customers.

Fantastic Cruise, Great Itinerary
