It’s been exactly a year since the “Baku” incident, and we’re ready for international travel again. It will make a break from the numerous Tassie to WA trips we have recently done.

First up is a couple of weeks aboard Prime Thyme, cruising the River Wey and Thames. Our berth has been moved to the other side of the Marina. Not such a trek for the services and car park. As usual Penny has prepped the boat, and an engineer has serviced the engine and replaced a few bits and pieces.

We then set sail with Viking, a first for us and their Ocean ship, along the Norwegian coastline. Then up into the article circle and ending up in Iceland.

After a couple of days exploring we move onto the Shetland Isles, via Scotland. This will finish up with wool purchases filling up every nook and cranny in our suitcases. I hope to get a few more “Puffin” shots and enjoy the magnificent scenery. We’ve always visited on cruise ship day excursions so this time will be a little less frantic. My daily blog will resume next week, please enjoy it
