Day 2

Image
By
Up at about 0815 after hot night. No. Not that sort of hot. The room was like an oven or maybe a sweat box. We had the fan running most of the night.

Full English as we have no idea when we are getting onboard ship to start our week of eating and drinking 24/7.

First stop Solent Sky Air Museum. Small museum but packed with planes and history. Well worth a visit.



Took photos but most of them on the Canon. I'll add them later.

Then off to Ocean Village. Not what we had seen on Google. Turned out to be a private swanky housing estate.

So off to Town Quay. Parked for a couple of hours ..

Blog moved to Travellerspoint

I decided that trying to maintain different platforms for the blog(s) was getting difficult to maintain and so I have decided to move all the travel blogs to Travellerspoint. All the vehicle specific blogs such as "Suzi Triplo" will stay in Blogger. Only any that are travel oriented such as "Cruising" and "Devall Travel" have been given up and entries in future will be in  The new home of Devall Travels . Travellerspoint

The local football team were at home judging by the variety of different Southampton shirts on display on everyone from kids to old blokes. Good to see so many people supporting their local club. Starbucks was air conditioned. A couple of fraps went down well. I'm glad I had the Canon with me to capture things... Problem being that the 1100D doesn't have WiFi to transfer pix off the SD card. Our parking ran out at 2.20pm and our check in time was 3.30pm before the added hour and a half from the email informing us of the delay. Rather than hang about we decided to go to the Ocean Terminal and see what happened. It was 2.35pm when we joined a q

It's Ålesund

By
After breakfast left the ship and have come across to look at the Ålesund Museum. It's a short walk if you see the signs but longer if you trust the map. Nice little museum. Now across the street in a cafe with a coffee where there is WiFi. posted from Bloggeroid
