I hope you don't mind me going back to X as I suddenly remembered that our Celebrity Millennium cruise itinerary said Beijing but we actually docked in a very industrial port named Xiangang. The port is a 45 minute drive to the huge city of Tianjin and a 90 minute drive from Beijing.

Tianjin has a population of 17,000,000 and has a charming old town set in the middle of this huge new and modern city. The first 2 pictures are of Xiangang port and the others are of Tianjin...

We did an excursion to Beijing and the Great Wall

I also have some Y ports....

Diamond Princess, Yokohama, Japan x2. if you look carefully at the first photograph you can just make out a snow covered Mt. Fuji

My last Ys are from our river cruise in Myanmar which began in Yangon, I haven' got any pictures of the ship but these are of the Shwedagon Temple which is the  most stunning temple I have ever visited..

Amazing colours!

My last contribution to this amazing post are my Zs and I'm taking a bit of poetic licence with these. The first 5 were taken in Stone Town, Zanzibar and the last 2 were on a lake cruise on Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe. 

I must thank everyone who has posted pictures as I have loved seeing them all and also exploring my own pictures....so many happy memories!!!!

Zeebrugge on Oceana February 2018. We went to Ypres and was very lucky with the weather as you can see.

I was going to do a couple from Ypres but I’ll just let everyone enjoy yours as they would be very similar.  It was one of the best, if not the best, excursions we’ve done. Our guide was excellent and it was very informative and very, very moving.

But here’s a couple from Zeebrugge, Aurora during the 17/18 New Year cruise seen from Oceana.

I'm so disappointed we're coming to the end . I haven't posted because I don't know how to, but I've enjoyed seeing all the wonderful photographs of places  that everyone's explored and reliving your cruising memories with you. I've seen places I've visited, places I'd love to visit, places I will  be visting and  some places I'd never heard of. It's been a wonderful journey and thank you Damien for starting this thread and everyone who posted. Hopefully it can  still carry on. 😊

Yes we had a great day, very moving as you said. We also got quite a lot of free time in the pretty town of Ypres.

Thank you for the help on posting photos, but they aren't on my phone. They're mostly on Frank's digital camera, and a few on his tablet. I've asked David to show me how to get them from the camera to my laptop and then to post them but "I've no time now Grandma, I'll do it for you later". Still waiting😁

You are welcome.

Why not Google how to do this yourself?.

We take all our photos on our Huawei phone's and the quality is excellent.

To print photos you can use Bluetooth or the SIM goes into the machine at a photo shop to download them for printing.
