Vacation Update

Bad weather started sweeping in yesterday, and the captain of the cruise ship I'm on announced that instead of stopping at two ports where people would have to get off in the ship's tenders we would reroute to the Orkney Islands and Invergorden. Having had the last cruise I went on changed around without expecting it, I suppose I'm able to deal with things as they are. Today, in any case, we're proceeding at top speed over a wind-swept sea from Iceland to the north of Britain. I've managed to see another two waterfalls and a geyser (next to the Geysir, although it erupts infrequently and didn't when I was there) among some rugged but pretty impressive scenery. The thought of this vacation coming to an end next week is in my mind, but I suppose I'm ready to accept the upcoming flight back (and being able to show more pictures) as I look forward to the stops still ahead.
