Scotland, Iceland and Majorca Jan 2017
We had a great trip to these three Countries the weather was mild to cold but we like Europe at this time of the year.
Iceland had some wonderful scenery glaciers volcanoes and waterfalls. One big problem there is the cost of everything $18.00 for a bowl of soup $32.00 for a hamburger.
Scotland we visited relatives and took a quick trip to Inverness and Edinburgh.
Majorca is a beautiful Island off the coast of Spain we had a nice hotel and it was all inclusive we hired a car and were able to see the whole Island during our stay.
I am going to try to pst some pics,

Madrid and Segovia
We arrived Madrid and visited the Prada Museum, this
is an art museum one of the finest in the world. Artists like Goya, Rembrandt and many others have their works displayed here and in our humble opinion this is a museum of the same caliber as the Louvre in Paris, the Rijks Museum in Amsterdam... an absolutely fantastic art museum to visit.
Today we did a guided tour of Madrid with our tour guide, Phillip. Madrid is the third largest European city in the world following closely behind London and Berlin. Madrid is a beautiful city with lots of people, lots of tourist, and lots of shopping. Most people live in apartments and use public transportation or walk to move around the city. Each residential development is designed around a large park for the residents to use. Some of the greatest treasures of Madrid are the Cibeles Fountain, the Syrian Via and Plaza Dr Espana.
This afternoon we visited the medieval UNESCO World Heritage city of Segovia. A two thousand year old aquaduct that was used to supply the city of Segovia with water remains in good condition today. The castle of Segovia is said to beWalt Disney's inspiration for the castle in Sleeping Beauty. The 14th century remains of the city wall and theCatherdal make you feel that you are part of a fairy tale.
Madrid has been awesome. It is hard to imagine what we might experience when we travel to the ancient city of Toledo on our way to the Moorish city of Granada tomorrow.

Mid May 2016 Killarney Ireland
We had a great cruise once again on the Norweigan Jade we are getting to know the crew nice to see some of them again.
A couple of days in Barcelona and on to Dublin.
We stayed in the suburb of Drumcondra and were lucky to find Fagans Pub Restaurant anyone visiting Dublin should eat there at least once it was fantastic.
Day two we took the coast road up to Drogheda a beautiful drive along the coast.
Day three we did the same thing going south to Wicklow.
A visit to the center of Dublin including Temple Bar is a must,
We drove North to Belfast and Londonderry where we listened to lots of Irish Music in the Pubs I consumed a good few pints of Guinness.
We headed south to Galway where we visited the Cliffs of Mohar then on to Killarney where we are at the moment had some nice Fish and Chips this evening.
Tomorrow on to Dingle then Kinsale and Waterford for two days before we fly to the Baltics for our next adventure. I am going to try to download some pics...soon.
