Hoping you dont have to swim on the way my sweety, how cute and precious this little duckling is, even look at you:)))
I though you were only leaving next week my dear, but you said goodbye for now, are leaving earlier or did I read wrong:) Hoping you have the most wonderful trip, being totally spoiled on this cruise, having 5 meals a day and
a huge swimmmingpool on deck..lolll
Don't forget to sit at the captain's table, if he isnt 85 years old:))) Just enjoy and it will be great to be out
for some time, but I will truly miss you......
Dikke kus en heel veel liefs, pas op jezelf!!

Nicole Oh! he is so cute. I am guessing you used a polarizer because you can see the bottom of the pond and it add to the composition of the image. Well done. Cheers Alvin
