I had a much better sleep than the previous night in Barcelona, it’s nice to back in the, oh so comfy Cunard beds and fluffy pillows. On the first day Jane never feels like making it to breakfast, scuppered by a combination of excitement and booze she’d already preempted not
This cruise has had a bit of a chequered start. Our original flights were scheduled to travel from London City Airport to Barcelona, which was ideal for us, LCY is a fantastic little airport and only thirty minutes away from us by taxi, so ideal. That wasn’t to be and
QM2 was arriving late into Southampton this morning, apparently the sea crossing from New York had been a bit lumpy so she’d been diverted south to avoid the worst of it. We had already been informed by text by Cunard and advised to arrive one hour later than planned to
