Another sea day. The waters have been calm and no one is seasick today. If it wasn't for the Star Trek events, I'd be bored to tears.

I think the perfect cruise has zero sea days. This one has 5.

Innsbruck - here despite it never being on my to-see list
First the backstory. In about a week I'll be boarding a cruise ship (this year's Cruise Trek) in Romania.

You, a city and a view. It's walkable and small. You've got to look up, left and right,
Stained Glass - Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro

Glass looks best when it is sunny outside and we had sun in abundance! I need to find a camera setting that works with cathedrals. Stained glass is one of the more difficult things to photograph well.
Remember to join in the hairy chest competetion. It will make your sea days go by in a snap! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't be a "cruise" if it wasn't at sea! Photos look good, but where are the Star Trek stuff photos?
