    Here's a few photos from my cruise


    I loved the stark monochrome winter countryside of Belgium

    The arrival of Santa, Christmas Eve - he climbed out of the funnel!

    GG you're back :j. Glad you had a great time :).

    I'm afraid retiring vicariously through you wasn't good enough for me so I've decided to join you :o.

    Goldie, it looks lovely! Sounds like you didn't get seasick or stormy weather at all?

    Lovely photos - I'd automatically have gone for the multicoloured busy ones, but you're right about that Belgian photo - really gorgeous.
