Very foggy today, so haven't been able to walk around the deck to see if there's a speck of land in the distance. Thank goodness for seabirds!

Current weather forecast for Saturday's arrival in Reykjavik (according to the ship's information board) is sunny and pleasantly warm 🌞

In Yorkshire for an overnight stop en-route to Port of Tyne, then off to Iceland!

[Tanya A Benefield @TABenefield]

Returned from Norway yesterday - loved it! Next adventure will be Iceland in May 😀

Definitely worth spending two hours freezing in the countryside near Alta, Norway, last night. The lights made another appearance after we returned to the ship, so it was a very successful evening.

Inside the Arctic Circle. A small whale appeared a few minutes after this photo was taken.

It's gonna be chilly tomorrow ...

The North Sea's a bit choppy this morning, en route to Norway.

Haven't been online for ages, so lots of catching up to do 😕

@kathyhoyle1 Hope you're feeling better soon 😊

Had a wonderful afternoon at the theatre in Dartford - an audience with David Suchet. Rather appropriately the Orient Express passed through the station while we were waiting for our train 😀
