galeforce9 Posted July 19, 2018 Author #52 Share Posted July 19, 2018 This is Pembroke Castle. Better from the outside than inside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galeforce9 Posted July 19, 2018 Author #53 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Galeforce, Thank you for your report and the fabulous photos! We are considering a voyage next year which includes this port. May I ask--how did you arrange your private tour so quickly after the change of port? Hi SLSD I contacted the person we’d booked the tour with and he was happy to swap the pick up point. Fortunately I’d spotted the port change with a day to go and not the night before when a swap might have proven difficult if I couldn’t reach him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galeforce9 Posted July 19, 2018 Author #54 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Pembrokeshire is gorgeous and warrants a visit on a land holiday. Skomer has been in the news lately as the puffin colony there is very successful. And again, can see from the pics that Wales isn't as green as one would expect either. Much of the UK needs rain! But hopefully not during the daytime to spoil this cruise or summer for the rest of us. Hi isklaar Agreed!! Think we will have rain tomorrow in the isle of man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isklaar Posted July 19, 2018 #59 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Gorgeous photos Galeforce, the Welsh Tourist Board should pay you some commission! Colours captured so well! I've never been to Tenby but so many of my English friends remember it fondly for family holidays there when they were children. I believe I recognise the lifeboat station from a tv series last summer about the RNLI. I'm in NW England so not far really from the Isle of Man. The weather doesn't look great for tomorrow but at least it won't be cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxburgh Posted July 19, 2018 #60 Share Posted July 19, 2018 This is definitely my favourite photo. It evokes memories of childhood holidays huddled behind the wind break on the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunviking Posted July 19, 2018 #61 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Thank you for taking the time to post all those lovely photos! Your cruise sounds wonderful so far. I hope the weather continues to be good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galeforce9 Posted July 19, 2018 Author #62 Share Posted July 19, 2018 This is definitely my favourite photo. It evokes memories of childhood holidays huddled behind the wind break on the beach. Yes. I holidayed for a week as a 7 year old back in the 70s in Tenby. Definitely no wind breaks needed today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galeforce9 Posted July 19, 2018 Author #63 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Thanks for the kind comments about the photos. These are just point and shoot with a camera phone when I can barely see the screen. Hopefully the ones with my proper camera, of which there are already more than a thousand, will be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairsin Posted July 19, 2018 #64 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Galeforce I am also enjoying your travelogue. Please keep the pics and comments coming. Can you tell me who the Hotel Director is on your cruise? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Catlover54 Posted July 20, 2018 #71 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Very much appreciating your reports galeforce! I have never been to these places and have my eye on them possibly for 2020, so am taking notes in addition to enjoying the eye candy Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKP946 Posted July 20, 2018 #72 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Thank you galeforce 9 for posting your fabulous photos, you have a great "eye". Sitting here on a freezing cold Melbourne winters day your photos have warmed me up considerably. Your ports and the weather look considerably better than our "Route of the Vikings" in August 2016 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
