CRUISES

Denmark
The first time I went on a cruise was to the Scandinavian countries with the children in the nineties. My reaction was one of doubt and what is the need or why do people want to be stuck on the ship for a week or two.

Mediterranean

My second travel was with a dear friend, we started on a weeks holiday in Cyprus and joined the Seam Bream one of air-tours ships. Whilst in Cyprus we stayed in Protarious and it was a nice family holiday. We were treated like princesses on the ship.  Dinned on the captains table every night and had a great time.

Ocean Village:

This was our honeymoon and we booked it in November 2005 to travel in June 2006. We were really looking forward to the travel and being together. It seemed a long while away but it soon arrived and we had a fantastic time.

20 June 2006 Manchester International to Palma Malloca where we joined the ship. We stayed at a hotel in Manchester.  We were on the ship for 14 glorious nights.

Tunis was our first port of call, we went round the markets and the town to have a feel of the culture.
Rome
We went to see the Colosseum, Pantheon and the Sistine Chapel (awesome)
The Spanish steps was something else, had to toss a coin in Trevi Fountain this means I am bound to go back to Rome - fantastic this is for anyone who believes in culture and art.

Cannes:

 We walked on the bolvd de la Croisette looked at the beautiful Antique shops and the sleepy hill top village of St Paul de Vence.
Relaxed in a few bars and the beaches and Damian got me some nice tops, sunglasses watch from the boutiques.
