7 days on a nice cruise ship can either be boring or great.... For me it was great. I had things to do, there were interesting things to do provided by the ship and of course the FOOD!
Some thoughts.
Courtesy begets Courtesy! With a ship crew that was unfailing courteous, upbeat and willing to go out of their way to help... rubbed off on all and we all benefited!
We visited Ireland, France and Great Britain. I was struck by the fact that this world is very nice. The spring had come to these countries and there were green and colorful.
Also, those countries are very expensive with the weak dollar!... In Ireland and France it was not as bad (Euros) as England (Pounds)
We spent three nights in London at a hotel within walking distance to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. One of my heros is Winston Churchill and we did Churchill up right! The most interesting is the Cabinet War Rooms. This is a restored underground bunker where Churchill ran the war.
I was struck by the grandeur of the buildings. Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul Cathedral.... all larger than life and magnificent!
One last item... Cruise ships are not friendly to the waist line!
More thoughts later.
