Ladee's Travels

A very special place next to the Lime Tree in Belgravia. It is beautiful with Christmas decorations. The food is always wonderful and I couldn't pass up the Lobster Bisque and the full Turkey dinner with all of the fixings. Creme Brûlée with a fig and plum compote topped of the meal.  Actually, seeing the staff again five and a half years after the last visit was delightful. The middle two were working tonight. What fun and giggles looking at this photo again.  Look back at 2011. There are three posts from the restaurant: http://ladeetravels.blogspot.co.uk/2011/05/london-ebury-restaurant-and-wine-bar.html?m=0 I love this place!!

We left Lerwick (60 05.57N 0 59.07 W).  The seas were calm and glassy with no waves.  The temperature was 51.8 F.  We have sailed 1,019 nautical miles, 842 to our next port, Akureyri, and 3,743 to New York City. Lighthouses and high cliff views.  Thank you, Shetland Islands, for a glimpse at your land! Summary from the Ship's Official Log Book With the pilot boarded at 06:20 from the ladder on our starboard side the Ruby Princess sailed inside the bay and approached our anchorage position.  The order to "Let Go" the starboard anchor was given at 06:57 and shortly after at 07"39 the Ruby Princess was resting safely at anchor and the first passenger tender proceeded ashore. Later that afternoon with all our passengers and crew safely back onboard we heaved home that anchor at 17:04 and made our way out of port, disembarking the pilot at 17:20 we then set courses for Iceland. Weather experienced throughout the day Sky: ...

I faced west as we returned to Lerwick. Our coach finished the tour with a drive through Lerwick and we could see the various house styles and other community areas.  The Ruby Princess waits for us to return.  Wild Zebra ship.  Temporary housing for oil workers.  Lining up to take the shuttle to the ship.

We stopped at the local museum to learn about the area. There were ruins in the area and views. Flora and Fauna galore!
