  1. Hi

    Nice update thanks and decent tick in the box for your latest routing I think your adventure.
    How long do you think you will stay in Madeira?
    I guess Southampton isn’t in the itinerary now!

    1. Current planning is to stay until early October and then heading to Portugal for the winter.
      Southhampton/Portsmouth maybe beginning next summer.

Nearly Forgot How Green Northern Europe Was (Is!)Nearly Forgot How Green Northern Europe Was (Is!)

Just a quick note. We are on a short tour in northern Germany visiting family. Boy, it’s green here!

In the Med, over the past years, we experienced a different color spectrum. Nice colors in southern Europe, but missing this green.

To share our experience with you – here it is:

Heiligenhafen, Schleswig Holstein
Near Ahrensburg, Schleswig Holstein

Carloforte. Italy like we imagined it.Carloforte. Italy like we imagined it.

Small Island. Ferry connections only. Colorful buildings. No big box stores. No brand name chains. All buildings two stories high or less. Every little store felt like the time eons ago when the world consisted of small things. Zoomed back in time.

This post contains picture galleries to flip through. Words fail to describe, but somehow even pictures fail. Being here is the thing.

Small is beautiful!
Below is Italy’s answer to the Dodge Ram. Fits perfectly into every narrow alley, supplying stores and restaurants through the backdoor.

Walk Downtown
First walk around downtown and trying to get lost 🙂

Fresh Food
When we came out of quarantine, the first order of the day was replenishing fresh food onboard LUNARA. What a pleasant experience. Even though the shopping atmosphere is eery with face-masks everywhere. Post Corona, normal times will return. We can imagine how lovely shopping and tasting fresh food next year will be.

Are we in heaven?

Small Church:
Another day we discovered this small church downtown. The colors outside match tastefully with the surroundings and the blue sky. Inside, everything was perfect pastels.
