What a fantastic holiday, Iceland really is a place I’d like to go back to, more things to see and do and more things to see and do again, But Amanda and I had 2 whole days of cruising left to enjoy, and yes I’d quite happily become a continual cruiser on a bigger ship than Firecrest. But what’s to stop me having crispy bacon, pancakes and maple syrup for breakfast every day on Firecrest?
And I’m not sure I would really want a dining room quite this big
And I discovered the pleasure in having a pedicure, we’ve been back in England 3 weeks now and my toes are still sparkley
We tried to persuade the sommelier to come home with us to keep the fizz flowing
Infact Julius our lovely cocktail waiter told us he could cook and clean and quite fancied coming home with us
I’m not sure I smile so much when it rains so much in an English summer
And it was very disappointing when our whale watching trip got cancelled at the last minute
But we really did get to see some magnificent sights in Iceland.
The rain didn’t dampen our spirits
Dressing for dinner was fun
And cocktail of the day was a must, although we tried to hold off until 5pm when we had a plate of canapés delivered to our cabin
And nothing beats live music
It’s been hard to pick out the best bits, I think perhaps Goðafoss was my favourite waterfall
The lupins were my favourite flower on the island
The sunsets were memorable
And the company was the best,
I wish that Amanda had been able to share this with David as they’d planned back in 2022, but his memory travelled with us and this holiday was dedicated to him, his love of life and his love for Amanda. Thankyou Amanda for letting me share it with you.
