Hello everyone, at long last I am back ...... too many problems trying to log on ... but hopefully they are now resolved, there is a lot of catching up to do .... where to begin ... okay January '13 - Spent in Cape Town, South Africa .... an absolutely brilliant city to visit .. beaches galore, weather excellent and very reasonable prices good exchange at 12.-13 Rand to the GBP £ February - A weekend in a very cold Bergen, Norway .... had a good time. March - Norwegian Coastal Voyage to see the Northern Lights which were excellent, was very cold but well worth it. March - Spent my birthday in Gothenburg, Sweden .... another cold but nice weekend.
