Some
of our trips in Europe were on cruise ships, others by tour bus. Both of
us have seen many interesting places on our own; however, our
photographs of that are limited. Again, click on the olive green buttons to see details. |
| In May of
2006 we spent two weeks on the Wind Surf cruising the Riviera and the
western part of Italy. Starting in Nice, France, the trip included
Corsica, Cannes (during the film festival), Monaco (during the Grand Prix races), Pisa, Florence and
Portofino.

| As part of our Mediterranean cruise (see above) we were at the 2006 running of the Grand Prix in Monaco. It was an interesting time filled with excitement, parties and lots of noise. However, driving at 200 mph on city streets is too fast for me. |
|
| Bus tours are not our most favorite means of travel, but we did go to Ireland and Scotland with our friends to see the country sights and experience some of the ambiance first hand. We started this tour in Dublin, went clockwise to Northern Ireland where we then transferred to Scotland. |
|
| After we crossed the North Channel from Ireland, we continued our tour in Scotland, and visited lots of places we had heard and read about; places such as Lock Ness and Saint Andrews, Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands. Our guide was good and we learned more from him about Scottish history and folklore than you might gleam from books in several days. |
