BON VOYAGE ..World Cruise 2011 Dawn Princess

[Gold Coast Cruisers]

OMG....:eek: how busy is the traffic in that area. Vastly different to cruising in our waters where we're lucky to see one or two ships enroute.

Just sailing into Le Havre now.

It is the port for Paris, but I believe its a long ride, and once there they wont have much time . I believe , just across the estuary from the port , is the French Village of Honfleur which a lot of folk choose to visit. I think you can just take a local bus there.

Looking forward to hearing about their day in France.:)

Sailing in..

 

 

Looks like its quite a big port....

 

[NSWP]

Thanks David, yes LE HAVRE is quite a big Port. We were there on Crown Princess in 2009.

Nothing really at the Port for cruise pax.

 

The actual town is about 30 minutes walk from the Pier. A lot of pax go to Paris for the Day, too rushed. Others go to D Day Landing Beaches.

 

On our 2 visits on our 2009 B2B we did shorex to Honfleur, and shorex to Fecamp/Entreat ? very nice.

 

Well part 1 of this epic adventure is drawing to a close. I am sure everyone has had a great time. I hope the engines last out.

 

Mention has been made of the English Channel, it is one big moving parking lot for ships..I know back in 2009 I counted 30 ships around us, we were the biggest at 100,000 tonnes, no one got too near us.

As our world cruisers reach the half way mark in Dover, and the half world cruisers disembark, I wish to thank those who took the time to take us along for the ride, with their entertaining blogs and photographs.

 

Thanks for sharing your experiences, which brought back fond memories to those of us who have visited ports previously. You have brought much pleasure to many.

 

Wishing you good health and safe travels for the rest of your journey.

Dawn is breaking on Dawn as she approaches Dover.

Still a bit far away at the moment , but I am sure you can see the famous White Cliffs.:)

If you want to check the cam now , you may get the sail in.:D

 

 

[Sandielle]

I had thought the white cliffs may be in the background, but wasn't sure it it was just a cloud. I see the cliffs clearly now.

Thanks for that link..I forgot about that one..:rolleyes:

 

You can just make her out , but a bit blurry...still it is very early in the morning:D

 

[purpledragon]

Flag is up she must be there, but no she is moving. I thought the flag being raised meant she had docked

[Sandielle]

No, I think they put the flag up when in that country's waters or when the pilot boards. I can google it, but do you know already David?

[Sandielle]

I think she's playing 'spin the bottle'. Thought she had docked before. :confused:

the white cliffs of Dover.......

Garry/Joanne, thanks for your blogs, enjoy part 2 of the World Cruise. Bad luck about Amsterdam. Hope you get into Bergen, Norway.

[Sandielle]

Oh that's a shame, Joanne. Never mind - keep on enjoying, as we are all enjoying your blog. :)

(Maybe it was arranged by the guys to keep the girls away from the diamonds!! :cool:)

[Raison]

What a shame to miss Amsterdam....wonder what Philip will do?? He must be busy trying to organise something.
