                    <title>Strasbourg</title>
                    <description>We spent one night in Strasbourg and there happened to be a very colourful and loud parade of some sort going on through the streets. We watched them as they danced their way through the streets. Soon we lost interest and found ourselves browsing through the many cuckoo clock shops...we couldn39t resist and some old French lady that couldn39t speak a word of English somehow convinced us tha</description>

                    <description>I LOVE Venice........ I could really just end this blog entry right there but it will be a little unfair towards Venice so I will try my best to paint a pretty word picture of this old romantic place with all it39s mystique..No..you can39t drive your car to your hotel in Venice not even to just quickly drop off your oversized suitcase and boot full of parcels but you can however drive to</description>

                    <title>New York  revisited</title>
                    <description>We have been treated to yet another visit to New York and loved it We saw so much more by rather doing a sightseeing walkaround as opposed to taking a cabbus or train. We stayed in Time Square and walked the 1 12 hours or about 7km to the World Trade Centre site. As it39s open to the public now we just had to go in. Even though we don39t personally know anyone who died in the 911 attack</description>

                    <description>And we are back in Canada for a day  to view the Niagara Falls. The view is so much better from the Canadian side as one can see all three falls collectively known as Niagara Falls. It is made up of the American Falls Bridal Veil Falls and Canada Falls. Bridal Veil Falls is a very narrow falls between the two bigger ones.We walked right up to the brink of the Canadian Falls the water just end</description>

                    <description>Another pretty city it39s not as busy as New York and also not as big as New York but it still seems like a pretty cool city to visit. I loved the Bean a sttainless steel sculpture made up of 168 stainless steel plates welded together. It39s sooooo shiny I stare at it all day long I figured it must be the city39s bit of bling.We also went for a walk along the gorgeous waterfront it</description>

                    <description>This place must be awesome in winter but for now it is absolutely gorgeous Some of the trees are changing colour leaving the landscape dotted in pretty yellowsredsgreens and golds. There are still so many little flowers around and the place just seems to burst with colour.We could see the ski slopes behind our hotel it really looks like a lot of fun. This is definitaley a place for outdoors</description>

                    <description>Last Day at SeaFinally we got treated blue skies and it was just in time for our last day at sea. Blue skies above and blue ocean all around it was so peaceful and the best way to end our cruise.. Entertainment included a staff talent show and a final comedy and musical show. At sunset there were a few Orca whales next to the ship and then what seemed to be hundreds of dolphins swimming just behi</description>

                    <description>KetchikanAnother sleepy village nestled between mountain and sea with amazing scenery somehow I just cant get enough of the views. Ketchikan is Tlingit Indian for Thundering Wings of an Eagle that is because the town takes the shape of an eagle in flight when viewed from deer Mountain.We were warned about the traffic ninjas these pedestrian crossing attendants take their job VERY</description>

                    <description>SkagwayStepping into Skagway was like stepping back into time 1899 perhaps another Gold rush town they managed to preserve that olden day feel by keeping saloons and dance halls.  Its also in a very pretty setting surrounded by green hills and snowcapped mountains Some of the shore excursions available  White Pass Scenic Railway  its a train ride on a vintage rail car that takes o</description>

                    <description>After a very rocky 14 hours we arrived very very close to Hubbard Glacier about 400m a 122km long glacier that took 400 years to reach the point where it39s at now so the foot of the glacier that we saw in the picture is about 400years old  On our way to there we passed a few stunning icebergs...couldn39t help but think.....

                    <description>We spent the night in Seward as this was where we were to start or cruise from.. The day before the cruise we had some free time to go to the Seward Aquarium...it  does not match Cape Town39s Two Ocean39s Aquarium But we did meet a cute seal everytime we put our hand on the glass he would stop and rub his chin more or less where our hand was before he zoomed off again That was SO sweet </description>

                    <description>Where on earth is Seldovia Well... it is tucked away in the Kenia peninsula opposite Homer in Alaska with a population of about 260 and the only way to get there is by seaplane or boat There are no roads connecting Seldovia to the rest of Alaska. It felt like an Island but we had to keep reminding ourselves that it was part of the mainland..It is a stunning little place there is so much beauty</description>
