Re: Shangri-La
Hi Marion.
Sixteen years of traveling the planet before it started to get ruined, Luxury watching the stars in the middle of the Indian Ocean, leaning on the rails going through both Canal's, Sunrise in the Pacific, Ice up around North Cape, Hurricane's in the North Atlantic. Then the sea life Albatross Penguins, Seals, Whales, Sea snakes up the Barrier Reef.
We all wish we could go back, but our memories are as sweet as when we first saw it all.
Cheers Des
