Tuesday – Lisbon

Today, we arrived in Lisbon. I was assigned tour escort duty, which meant setting the alarm and being up early enough to grab some breakfast before heading ashore.   Once breakfasted, and shoreside, I joined the small number of escorts awaiting further instructions. We’d all picked up a CMV rucksack, containing First Aid Kit and a clipboard, and dutifully done...

Friday – Amsterdam

Today we arrived in Amsterdam. It’s been a bit grey and quite cold all day, but at least it didn’t rain.   I was a man on a mission today. Last year, I missed getting into the Van Gogh museum on account of the huge queues, and then discovering later that I could have purchased fast-track tickets from just inside...
