Much of the day was spent driving to the port – Portsmouth in fact. You know the routine: Motorway –> delays –> arriving late at the port –> then getting the full security treatment including an inspection under the bonnet. Well we’re on board now. There’s entertainment, a party atmosphere. A demographic who really should be tucked up in bed by now with hot cocoa but are downing drinks from the bar instead. I’ve come to enjoy these cruises. Not quite a booze cruise. Not a straight ferry ride either. More a blend of Butlins and Wetherspoons afloat.
More to follow. We roll this way until Saturday morning!
