Bed Hopping
28 November 2018
After several weeks of bed hopping around Africa (in very comfy beds) we were pleased to board our ship in Lisbon today, unpack our and look forward to 24 nights in a supremely comfortable Regent bed.
We love Regent ships and this is the first time we have sailed on The Explorer the most luxurious ship ever built. Most of the following images are of our cabin suite with a few taken on my first wander around the ship. We are so fortunate to have an opportunity to sail on such a beautiful vessel.

Windows on the World - O is for Ornamental Obidos
This month I am participating in the A-Z Blogging Challenge where I will endeavour to post on this blog each day. I will be sharing photos of Windows that I have photographed on my travels and highlighting from A-Z the places where I found these Windows on the World.
Annoying showers hindered our exploration of the walled Roman town of Obidos in Portugal. In spite of the the inclement weather I managed to grab a few clear photos of windows there.

Porto
Unfortunately I can't connect two devices to the internet at this hotel so, as I first connected with my smartphone, I have to use it for my blog post.
Since we hit Spain we have been on the go. Thank heavens we had four quieter days in Berlin before we joined this tour of Spain and Portugal.
We left Salamanca, Spain for a picturesque drive to Portugal and felt quite at home as we passed many eucalypt forests. After a tour of Porto City we had a seafood lunch of traditional Portuguese dishes before going to a Port tasting. We now have a bottle of white port to add to our overloaded suitcases.
Porto on the Duoro River is right on the Atlantic. Pictured below is one of the bridges over the river. Does it remind you of another famous structure? In Paris? Yes, it was designed by Monsieur Eiffel of tower fame.
The other snap is of two old travellers by the river.
