A Postcrossing post card from Vitoria in Portugal.
Funchal was originally built in 1961 to cruise between Lisbon, Madiera and the Azores. At 153m in length, she’s much smaller than many of today’s cruise ships, but she still has all of the essentials, including two restaurants, three bars, a theatre, a library and a casino.
She can accommodate over 400 passengers, and regularly cruises around the world during the Northern winter.
Thanks for the lovely postcard, Vitoria!

He may not be the world’s best reader, but I think he’s the world’s best grandfather. “Glandan” (Bruce) read this bedtime story to the kids a few years ago, and we were lucky enough to film it. Contrary to what dad says, the monster in the story is a “Gruffalo”. It’s a delightful story by Julia Donaldson which is available at Amazon:
Here’s the bedtime video:

A Postcrossing Postcard from Aris in Greece.
This fountain is on the island of Crete in the town of Spili which is located in Chania region.
It’s so the donkeys can have a short rest and drink.
I wonder if this is what they had before petrol stations and cars?
Thanks for the postcard, Aris!
A Postcrossing postcard from Britt in Norway.
I don’t know the name of this ship, but Finnmark is a region of Norway on it’s extreme north coast, way above the arctic circle. I don’t imagine it would be very pleasant to be in a storm there.
Thanks for the postcard, Britt!
