We were there on the Maasdam in August 2019. Second time around Japan we missed the port due to a typhoon. Also there in 2017 on Volendam. Didn’t see Mt Fuji either time.

 

 

You must go back!  We were so lucky!  Plane, train, automobile and ship💕y

Thanks.  I've been there once, 2013, on the Ryndam.  In late June it was daylight 24 hours, but still windy and cool.

I think this is the only sunrise photo I have in my entire collection, though maybe it is a sunset. 😉

Hint:  Here's a photo of a creature that is the symbol of this port.

 

 

 

 

A stronger hint:  Here is a photo I took when walking back to the ship in the afternoon.

April, we went for the cherry blossoms!  Next I hope for November fall colours.

While I give the one above a little more time, here’s one that is of a port city we sailed from! 

 

Ok, looks like my difficulty scale is off.  Here’s another clue.  A ship named for this city,  is back in this city but now another bears it’s name!

I wondered when I first saw it,  because we went to a restaurant there,  where the turtle came every evening.

Wow Dave, I guess the rest haven't been there.  Aegean Sea port?

Oops, I see it was named above.  very good.

I took the sea turtle photo from the waterside walkway -- it was about three feet away from the seawall.

I think this looks like Fanning Island, too.  J_M_F guessed first.  Are we right?
