We learnt today its worth checking if Southampton FC are playing at home on the same day a 5000-strong cruise ship is departing, because the traffic in Southampton was rather chaotic!
Despite theЧитать далее

Today is our first , and now technically only, day at sea. We were due a second day at sea on Tuesday. However, our first stop of Hamburg was replaced at last minute with Bremerhaven, which we willЧитать далее

Our pilot for Bremerhaven arrived on board by helicopter, apparently the norm for this port. Alas, as it was in the small hours of the morning, we didn't see it. Even if it hadn't been, guests wereЧитать далее

Back in Rotterdam and in the rain, we wandered to the Markthal and the cube houses. We visited these when we were here two years ago, so it wasn't particularly new. The street art and sculptures inЧитать далее
