No, we didn’t have a flood, we’re just out of sight of land!. Currently we are somewhere between Newcastle (UK) and the German – Danish border. The weather is still fine at 14C, going up to 18C tomorrow for our first port of call in Skagen, Denmark. Today we have just been getting lost on exploring the ship and trying to avoid eating too much! The sea state is disappointingly smooth, there is no vibration or mechanical noise on board, if there were no windows showing movement you could easily be in a hotel.
We have (slow) Wi-Fi on board, but it lets me get the blog written at my pace, and not scrambling to get it done before we leave port.
Passengers are a mix as usual, there are a lot of Japanese and Chinese, a good mix of Australians and Kiwis a few Americans and Canadians and as expected quite a few Brits.
This part of the North sea has plenty of boat activity, most times I look out from the balcony there are 5 or 6 in sight.
There wasn’t much to take pictures of this time, so you’ll have to make do with a picture of the cabin. We splurged on a mini-suite this time which is quite a bit larger than the normal balcony cabins we have had before. This one has the advantage of a sofa which is much more comfortable than using the bed as a seat.
