Day 1–Dover

27th June - Dover  

"Settlement since at least the Stone Age, always strategically important as gateway to Britain at the narrowest part of the English Channel.Notably famous for the White Cliffs and the Castle."    

 

The Ship

Left home on a nice sunny morning and drove to Dover, stopped for photos at Western Heights then parked on the dock and boarded our cruise ship, Pacific Princess.    New ship to us so spent a few minutes orientating ourselves with the layout, didn't take too long as it's tiny, well it is to us.Sailaway into an ever increasingly grey evening and off into the North Sea.    

 

The Atrium

 

 

 Dinner in the main dining room one of us had Melon followed by Beef and Onion Pie with Garlic chips (chips turned out to be actual garlic pieces in the pie) no veg on offer! and the other had Red Snapper Mojito followed by Basa with a pineapple salsa - as usual we will let you guess who had what.So, soon time for bed, this sea air just makes for tiredness.
