7. Travel Letter 3/9 2022

Sat/Sep/2022 By Kirsten Halmø

Hilsen fra RR.

Dear all.
Now summer is coming to an end in old Denmark, but the weather is still lovely, and there are parties and festivals going on. And now everyone over 50 will be offered a corona vaccination, so we know autumn is just around the corner. We have now been in Quinta do Lorde on Madeira for a week. We have driven around the island by car and enjoyed fantastic views of the mountains. We walked on the beautiful levadas with trickling water and everything is green. It has been wonderful.

Wonderful green north side sunny weather
Wow
On the third day the fog and rain was on the north side

And then we were lucky enough to (virtually) meet Sanne from Tønder. She has the courage to sail far and would like to join our Cruise 7, which goes through the Panama Canal and into the Pacific Ocean to the Marquesas with a stop in the Galapagos. We look forward to getting to know her better. Now the three of us have sailed alone for a month and soon need some company. Even if you don’t know each other that well in advance, the trip with Susanne has shown that it contributes positively in many ways by being more people. On Gran Canaria, we will meet Lise, Mikkel and Johan. It will be great to see how Johan has developed. Many experiences await him, it will be fun to see how he reacts to all the new things.
Best regards, Kirsten
