A ray of sunshine on a otherwise wet and windy day in Liverpool yesterday! Thoroughly enjoyed my time onboard Amzama Quest fir a quick ship tour of this lovely small ship and a magnificent meal.
@Azamara have some of the most incredible itineraries around the world, mostly due to the small ships that can reach ports many of the larger ships cannot. This cruise was a #golfcruise around the British Isles, but there are so many to choose from, including Singapore to my hometown of Fremantle, South Africa, Panama Vanal and my bucket list, San Diego to the South Pacific islands of Tahiti &Bora Bora!!
If these sound like you, get in touch to discuss.

On my first visit to Rotterdam many years ago, I wasn't that impressed, but a second visit has blown my socks off. Maybe it has something to do with a beer tour and a fabulous guide. Big thanks to @taucktravel for putting on such a fantastic excursion.

Our stop today is Antwerp, a few minutes walk from where we dock. Probably the most diverse selection of international cuisines I've seen in such a small area. Ready for my beer tasting tour later 🍻🍺
