Blog 202 Day 35. Final full day of this Caribbean Cruise as Britain comes into sight.

47°N.  Not so long ago it was 18°N !

So, this is it.  Another 6°N and we are in Buxton, and this time tomorrow, Roger, who is probably on his way to Southampton right. now, will be driving me home to normality and a rather thinner wallet!  There are lots of on board activities today.  But I have to be responsible and and pack my bags.  My last at sea breakfast was augmented by a small pancake and waffle.  The ship hasn’t run out of bananas yet.

We had the last time change at noon yesterday to bring us back to G.M.T.  It’s a beautiful day as we nose at around 15 knots towards the English Channel.  A small part of me will be happy to disembark.  

As this is my final blog of this voyage, I leave you with a few ship scenes, some details and a few highlights.
