Southampton

Set off from home at 10:15 and shaved 30 minutes off the travel time by 12:30. Some of you may think I was speeding to achieve this. I was not, I simply used a tear in time that the lovely Elizabeth created for me.

But enough spoilers.

We arrived in Southampton an hour before our check in time and then spent the next 45 minutes crawling in traffic, 4 cruise ships and the football over loaded the roads. Getting rid of the car was a breeze and then we had to wait to check in! Our assumption is that everyone turned up early and caused chaos. We eventually checked in, and then queued up for security and by the time we got on board and to our room we had to go straight to muster.

Still, nowhere near as bad as airports…

Few beers, evening meal, job done.

Note to self: When you have a dessert and they offer you custard, make sure to tell them when you have had enough, otherwise they just keep going with a bemused look on their face….

This morning we are traversing the Bay of Biscay with glorious grey skies and 10c temperatures. Lovely.

We know the temperature as a Frenchman told use over the speakers with a spot on parody of Allo Allo ‘Good Moaning’

To breakfast!!!
