Arrived safely in Hull and after 90 minutes in a basic wait area boarded the Pride of York. Settled in and headed for their buffet that served various brown items with potatoes and rice. We then headed for the cabaret where a Clodagh Rodgers/Mary Hopkins style vocalist entertained us while we drank a bottle of Sauvignon Bland. Was surprised that even while still in the Humber Estuary the boat was moving fairly dramatically vertically....there's the coastline, there's the stars, there's the deep blue sea. Well after 5 hours sleep we hit our fresh gale force 6/7 and for 4 hours it was like a Disney simulation of landing by plane at Glasgow airport on a cloudy/windy day.....too much for a delicate stomach like mine (RJL). What a swell time.
Anyway now on Terra Firma and heading for Rouen, probably after visiting a Belgian shop to recuperate with Belgian waffles and lashings of chocolate.
Speak soon.
