I am back
on solid ground! I’ve had a wonderful slow journey back to the UK on a cargo
ship. To start off, I had a couple of days in Charleston, South Carolina,
waiting for my boat – and saw this one from the marina – incredible size.
When I did
board the ship, I spent a good time just watching the process of loading and
unloading the containers from my cabin window. Just like Jenga really!
The ship
loading in front of us finished first, and got going…. It was amazing to see
the tug boats – tiny by comparison- spin
the ship around so it was facing in the right direction – whilst the sun set
over the river!
So – life
on board - as usual my best side was
captured for the id badge!!
I was
actually the only passenger on board so I got to choose my cabin. Here’s a
quick peek inside – although I choose it because I knew I’d spent more time
looking out the windows (this cabin had windows to the front and side) rather
than what was inside the cabin.
The much
anticipated onboard swimming pool looked like this….. lacking one essential
element!
So I made
do with the gym to keep fit
And walking
up and down 4 flights of stairs for every meal (cooked by the French chef!)
And every
day, at some point I went up to the Bridge to see what was going on (yes –
still surrounded by ocean!) and take in the rainbows, and waves, and sunsets –
none of which my photography skills do any justice to… but here’s my best
attempts.
This first
double rainbow was just behind us – it felt like we’d just sailed through it to
arrive in Narnia! But then there were many more…
