Stepping Up The Fun

I’ve had a rough week at work and I’m tired of feeling so down. It’s time to move on!

Some of you may be aware that I’m part of a Cyber Cruise hosted by Mrs Lifecruiser which gives visitors a chance to “visit” other countries around the world and explore new cultures. When I first heard about the cruise, I thought it was a crazy idea and that it would never work but I decided to hang around anyway. I started out as an A Swab member which meant I could “visit” but couldn’t “host” which I really, really wanted to do because it was so much more fun.

Anyway, when the cruise came off its hiatus, I was determined to do better and I got promoted to A Team Cruiser which meant I got to take my fellow cruisers on special trips! The cruise started off as just a fun way of getting to know other bloggers but it has become so much more and it is breaking down a lot of cultural barriers. Something that is so important in this day and age! I’ve made a lot of new friends and I’ve learned a lot from the posts (I will never think Norsemen are only Norwegian again). See, the cruise is educational as well as being fun!

So, to all my fellow cruisers: thanks for taking the time to visit me and leaving me wonderful comments. To Mrs Lifecruiser, thanks for having such a wonderful idea. To the rest of you, why aren’t you with us?

PS: Watch out for a special cyber cruise competition coming to a computer screen near you!

(Dutifully, adds suggested links so she gets to keep her luxury cabin!)

Lincoln Castle

Lincoln Castle

Welcome to Lincoln Castle! Cyber cruisers are advised this tour is not for the faint of heart, we will see evidence of torture and executions so hold hands if necessary! William the Conqueror began building Lincoln Castle two years after the Battle of Hastings in 1066 on a site formerly occupied by the Romans. For 900 years, the castle was used as a garrison and a court with regular executions on the ramparts so watch your step my fellow cruisers!

Castle Howard

Castle Howard

What can you say about Castle Howard? It is one of the most stunning places I’ve ever visited and you know I love castles so I’m not saying that lightly! Without a doubt, Castle Howard is one of the brightest jewels in England and is a movie star into the bargain. The castle is more like a sprawling palace set in landscaped gardens and parklands, not far from the city of York itself. I’m in awe of this place, so I’m not sure how much humour you’ll get out of this cruise port, dear cruisers!

The A Team

Monaco ballgown

I got a surprise when I visited Capt Lifecruiser today - she promoted me to The A Team Cruisers!

I’m very honoured to have been chosen and will carry out my duties to the best of my humble abilities. Now I need to find photos of places I’ve visited to keep up with everyone else because I’m sure I’m less travelled than my fellow team members.

I’ll be making my official debut at the Monaco ball tonight so need to pick a suitable frock for the occasion.

I realise this probably won’t mean much to you non-cruisers but I’m sure you’ve visited enough to get a general idea of the craziness involved, otherwise feel free to skip these posts or come join in the mayhem.
