Last cruise with us were dear guests from Sweden. From left were Hotel manager Jose Brito, International hostess Jessica Palmer, Anna & Anders Rydberg, Goeran Thomas Grahn, Captain, Gunnar Friberg, and Bo Sven Lagerqvist. Al members of Steam ship society SKARGARDS BATEN and lovers of Steam ships. I have a wonderfull evening with them.

Na zadnjem putovanju imali smo drage goste iz Svedske. Svi su clanovi drustva Parnih brodova SKARGARDS BATEN i zaljubljenici su u Parne brodove. Vecer provedena sa njima bila je prekrasna.

Something completly different for me. Funchal is green paradise.
Not only that I have seen a lot of green towns. Here You can smell all different scents of Tropical flowers. I really enjoy it all the way.

Nesto sasvim drugacije za mene. Funchal je zeleni raj. Ne samo da sam vidio velik broj zelenih gradova. Ovdje mozes osjetiti miris svog Tropskog cvijeca. Stvarno sam uzivao cijelim putem.

Arecife. Vulcanic island. Magma is everywhere. Very hot day. Walk out for a refreshment and Dulce de leche. Tonight is Captains coctail party. I have to rush back on board to get ready.

Recife. Vulkanski otok. Lava je svugdje. Vani je vrlo vruce. Prosetao sam vani da se osvjezim i radi mog sladoleda. Veceras je Kapetanov coctail prijem. Zurim nazad da bi se spremio za tu prigodu.

Hassan II mosque. Perfect crafts on it. One of must to see points. Walking one hour from port. It's worth it.

Dzamija Hassana II. Perfektno umijece na njoj. Jedno od mijesta koji se moraju vidjeti. Pjesacio sam sat vremena ali se isplatilo.

.....Plaque-Crests exchange. Every time vessel change itinerary there is a ceremony of Plaque exchange. That occasion on board captain welcome Authirities of the Port and City. Very good promotion for vessel. For all of us there will be a nice glass of cava and some delicious finger food. Needless to say there is always TV and Newpapers. I become use of this occasions.

Izmjena Plaketa. Kod svake promjene rasporeda putovanja uvijek imamo ceremoniju izmjene plaketa. Za tu prigodu zapovjednik docekuje visoke goste Luke i samog Grada. Dobra promocija broda. Za sve nas tu ce se naci casica dobre Cava i nesto ukusne hrane za jesti. Nepotrebno je reci da je tu uvijek prisutna TV i Novinari. Ja sam se vec navikao na takove situacije.

After while I had a long walk alone. I saw beauty of this city. there is such a lot to see. Photos will explain better than words. One of the targets is to visit a good friend at Fatima. Just I would like mine folks to be with me.

Duga setnja poslje dosta vremena. Vidio sam ljepote ovog grada. Fotografije ce to bolje objasniti nego rijeci. Jedan on zadataka bio bi posjeta starom prijatelju u Fatimi. Samo za to bi volio da su moji sa mnom.
