Hi Everybody,

     Our cruise is almost drawing to a close. On saturday we will be disembarking in Dover, England for our last 4 nights in London. This blog has not worked out to well for us and most everyone has received emails periodically. If we do not have your email address and you wish to read about our trip please send the email address to Diane at: dfunfar@yahoo.com.

     Our trip has been AMAZING!

Hello everybody,

    In case you are wondering why this has not been updated! We have been unable to access this blog from our ship. We also have been unable to post pictures. We are now in Brisbane, Australia on our way to Cairnes and the Great Barrier Reef.

       Those of you on our email list have received updates. Since Lima, we have visited Easter Island, Raratonga in the Cook Islands, Auckland, New Zealand, Burnie, Tasmania, Sydney and now Brisbane Australia. 

  

Lima, Peru and on

January 20th

Today we were in Manta, Ecuador. We hired a car, driver and guide for the day and went to Bahía Caraquez, north of Manta. We drove through the shore towns of San Clemente and San Jacinto. We climbed up the cross at Mirador de la Cruz for the spectacular views.

      On our days at sea Diane goes to trivia quiz  twice a day and lays in the sun. We have also been doing laps on the track. (On Thursday Barry did 101 laps ~9 miles and could not walk too well on Friday!)

January 18th

Today we went through the Panama Canal. It took the whole day! It was extremely hot, even for Diane! The locks were interesting to observe and we took lots of pictures. Brendan, we took some for you especially of the trains and heavy equipment.
