Planten un Blomen - Hamburg's Botanical Gardens

After the soccer game, we took advantage of the late summer daylight hours here in Northern Germany. We strolled the gardens for an hour and then found seating in the grassy area, surrounding the lake, to await the nightly fountain show. Can you believe it is 10 pm when show started! Look how bright the skies are! At 10:30, as we made our way home, darkness finally comes. Sunrise starts at 4:50 a.m.! I wear an eye mask to bed each night. Crazy German Summer!

September 30th marks the one year anniversary of when this great adventure for me actually started - when the ship sailed out of Belfast Boatyard.

Any day on a boat for sun and fun is a great day! Today it was a group of 17 for a tour of Honda Bay - we had 3 stops to snorkel, swim and relax. Thanks Holly for arranging it all!!
