Thanks for taking the time to pop in Ros.

What a wonderful side trip. It will be a nice break to be off the ship for a while.

Have a great time.:)

Looks like they dock first, so they will have to be away smartly to beat all the tourists up the rock:D

The next port was to have been Casablanca, but they are not going there now.:(

Great shots of her coming into dock David.

It's freezing here, I would love to be somewhere warm on a ship right now.. :)

I have just spent the last hour or so reading and enjoying the forum for DP WC and would like to say a special thank you to all who post, such wonderful picturers and information.

I will have to catch up with the other WC blogs also... seems once you start you just can't stop reading.

Retirement hurry up!! also need to win the lotto, but hey this is the next best thing.

I think next time I'm back in NZ, I will have to shout David a coffee, and check out the changes in your home town must be 30yrs since I have been to O....

I hope the Princess Upgrade fairy looks after you all.

Cheers Robyn

Have started catching up in instalments! Loved Joanne's story about the 'secret' keyhole. Seems tourist operators are the same the world over. :D

[Sandielle]

Cam's not updating again. Think they must be doing their engine trials under cover of darkness. :D

[Kiwi Kruzer]

Just checked AIS Live.. they are cruising up the Portugal Coast towards Lisbon , at a speed of 16.7 knots, so I think you are spot on.

Looks as though Shipwatcher is having hiccups at the moment. They should come back when it is working again. :rolleyes: Aagh, between the DP's cam and Shipwatcher, this is a struggle.

[thied]

having no trouble with ship watcher at all and it works just fine

[Sandielle]

Aagh, I see Shipwatcher is over its hiccups again. Mine are all showing now. :)

[Kiwi Kruzer]

The scheduled position puts them in the middle of The Bay of Biscay...

 

 

Heres some of the traffic they will have to thread their way through

to get to Le Havre.:eek:

[MMDown Under]

Great maps David.

 

I didn't realise Le Havre was so close to Southampton and the busy shipping channel.

 

I hope Bay of Biscay is calm for them.

[Sandielle]

Looks pretty calm on the webcam. :)

What an unforgettable birthday, Ros has had in Paris on Bastille Day. Love her story about how she just happened to get into Renault's enclosure in the front row on the Champs Elysees for the Bastille Parade and her story about not having a print out of her priority ticket for Versailles.

 

Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for each.

 

Paris has definitely been added to my list for next year. I love France, but it took me a long while before I fell in love with Paris.
