 SAGUENAY, QUEBEC (again)

When we were in Saguenay a few days ago we attended the outstanding La Fabuleuse production, so, unless there happened to be a pressing matter, there was no need to get off the Viking Sun today. Sure, a walkabout would have been nice, but with a driving rain and the howling wind plus a 4 degree temperature, non merci. Besides, the Saguenay town centre is about 2.5 miles away. Instead, we watched an Elton John documentary in the Star Cinema.

 After checking the markets and completing a stock trade on the 'Net, Karen and I settled down after lunch in the Explorers Lounge for a good read. This is the premium place to relax on the ship. The Lounge has floor-to-ceiling windows with a view from a goodly height as well as hundreds of hard cover books on the shelves covering every imaginable topic. The couches and chairs are splendidly comfortable and every couch has a moosehair blanket which some folks use to cover themselves and nod off (who, me?). Importantly, the atmosphere in the Lounge is whisper quiet with muted baroqueish music playing in the background. Of course, the waiter will bring you anything you might want - a drink, food, snacks, etc.. So much personal space, almost private. Nirvana.

BTW - I have just learned that this Viking voyage will be in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest commercial cruise in the entire history of mankind...or personkind (whatever your preference).

    I see that Karen is reading The Spy and The Traitor - that is a great book. Both Anne and I read it recently. We are off to Edinburgh today and hope we get better weather than you had! Cheers MB

FEBRUARY 28, 2020 DARWIN, AUSTRALIA We all recognize that life is an adventure - there will be surprises. Coronavirus is an unexpected development and this voyage has already made adjustments. Further adjustments are possible, even likely, during the two months remaining on Viking's World Cruise.  At a time when authorities must be " seen to be doing something " about the chances of a pandemic, fear can provoke overreaction and more surprises. Karen and I have taken a cautionary attitude about how matters could evolve. We believe this is prudent. Consequently, we have decided to defer the remainder of this voyage to a later date.    With that in mind, a fitting tune is Sophie Zelmani's  " Going Home ". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrIG3K40-8A

September 10, 2019 EDINBURGH - They say Scotland gets a lot of rain. Tell me about it! Arrived here in the fog and that became a steady drizzle. But at least it wasn't cold, around 16 degrees.  The rush hour (good planning) bus tour of The Queen City was mostly about crawling from stoplight to stoplight. Incredibly dense traffic made worse by many downtown streets being closed to accommodate the filming of Fast and Furious Nine - we saw the support trucks, an army of them, dozens. The main attraction, of course, is the Castle on the hill. Very impressive from below, but almost inaccessible due to the overwhelming crowds and the discouraging wait times - where did all these people come from? I'm told that tourism gridlock is becoming the new normal in cities like Paris and Rome. Meanwhile, on the Viking Sun there is so much space, even in the restaurants, one never feels pressed.  After returning to the ship from downtown, wouldn't you know it, the sun came out.

NOVEMBER 11, 2019 SALVADOR DA BAHIA, BRAZIL For a city that I've never heard of, Salvador da Bahia is a surprisingly large metropolis. Three million people live in this sprawling, modern city. It seems as though there is a catholic church at every street corner, a bit like Starbucks. The photos I took today all disappeared as I was downloading them, so I borrowed a few from the Internet. This is part of the old town where we walked - it was crowded.  Most of the city is on an escarpment above the water. In order to access the escarpment, there are three funiculars and this 73 meter Elevador Lacerda which was built in 1873 - it costs 4 cents to ride up or down.  Also in town is the cruise ship, World Odyssey. You might recall that this ship operated as a floating condominium at one time and sailed wherever the owners decided. I guess that concept passed its expiry date for the ship now sails under its new flag "Seminar a
