Flaam, Norway

Flaam has got to be one of the smallest towns I have yet to see on this trip. I’m pretty sure that the ship has a bigger population than this town. Located at the end of a Fjord in Norway this little getaway is quite picturesque. Enjoy the pictures below.

Return from Norway

We are back from the “Lands of Fire & Ice” and I have some video’s and pictures to show. First off we got a chance to go the famous Blue Lagoon in Iceland. It is supposed to be this natural hot spring but it’s not as natural as you think. The Lagoon itself is not natural at all and is in fact man made. The heated mineral water is real but is pumped into the lagoon through a series of pipes from the geothermal power plant next door. Overall it was still a good time and something that not many people can say they have done. Below is a video of the lagoon. I did not take many pictures because water and digital cameras don’t mix, so right before leaving I pulled out my camera and shot a few clips.

Lands of Fire & Ice

Our next cruise we are off to Iceland and then to Norway (which is why this cruise is called "lands of fire and ice") for the last time! In Iceland we are going to the famous blue lagoon for a crew tour, so that should be the chance of a lifetime. This is another 13 day cruise so the update wont be for a while.

TLF Graphics goes to Gibraltar!

I was wearing my TLF t-shirt when I had this picture taken and there is probably no better photo opportunity than this. The picture below was taken at the tip of the rock. It is hard to make out the background because of the fog but on the left is part of the African coastline and the Mediterranean Sea, on the right is Spain and the Atlantic ocean. Two continents and two bodies of water in the same picture!

Gibraltar, UK

After every Mediterranean cruise the last stop the ship makes is Gibraltar. A small peninsula off the coast of Spain the city is part of the UK. Its famous for its “Rock of Gibraltar” and the monkeys that live on it. After my third trip to Gibraltar I finally decided it was time to take a tour of the rock and go see these monkeys.



Just past the airport is Spain.

Monte Carlo

Located on the coast of France and part of the French Riviera, Monte Carlo is home to the Grand Prix, and playground to the rich and famous. After looking at the pictures you will understand exactly how much money flows through this place.




(yes you can actually test drive a ferrari around the grand prix track)

Vatican City

We were back in Rome for the first time since I picked up the ship there exactly two months ago. This time I got a chance to actually go into the city. A bunch of us went to Vatican City and saw the Sistine Chapel along with St. Peters square. Here is a video of the square and the long line to get into the Basilica.
