Le Havre is our last port on this trip. This port is about 2.5 hours from Paris. Lauren went on a Paris tour today with another woman from our travel group. I have been there, so just stayed and checked out Le Havre. Drizzly and overcast, mid-60s here. Took the ship's shuttle for $20 to the center of town. Then onto the Yellow BEE BUS; €12 gets you a one hour tour. Went by the Docks Vauban shopping center, Norte Dame Cathedral (under restoration), St. Joseph's...

All day at sea, sailing from Edinburgh, Scotland to the port at La Havre, France. We went to a cooking demonstration which ended up being hilarious. Then to an art auction of ridiculously over-priced items. I left early because I wasn't feeling well and someone's perfume was making me sick (fragrance sensitivity). So, I went back to the cabin, opened the balcony doors and packed my suitcase. I then went to a meeting of some of the veterans in the ship, where we...

Ship is anchored off shore, so we have to tender in to shore again. Shore Excursion "Edinburgh/South Queensferry.

The castle was amazing - it's up on the hill in the center of Edinburgh. Very, very busy, as it is a holiday. Then, the bus...

Today we took the shore excursion "Inverness on your Own". We arrived in Inverness after a 30-minute bus ride through some beautiful countryside. It's a beautiful day in northern Scotland, sunny and 72. We were dropped off at St. Andrew's Cathedral, built in 1869. There was a church service going on, so we couldn't go in. We walked along and across the River Ness to the Castle, which has been the Sheriff's Office since 1834. The Museum next door was closed si...

Ship sailed at 2am today to head to the north of Scotland, the port of Invergordon. We are at sea all day today, and dock there at 7am tomorrow. Lots of activity on the ship today, as everyone is on board; games, wine-tastings, Irish music performances, etc. Lauren and I went to the International Cafe for a bite to eat, then to the big sale being held in one of the dining areas. Then, we went to a jewelry and fashion show in the Princess Theater. They were g...
