For breakfast we mostly went to the Arts cafe and had a pastry or savory baguette, bagel or focaccia. That first morning we steamed out of Southampton on a sea day. The wind certainly was very brisk so tendering would have been very difficult.






Past the Isle of Wight.


And Osborne house.








Then time for lunch.




I had the Penne pasta and Mrsdrron the ribs. Both good.

Our second night's dinner.




W e both started with the beef tartare. Different from previous cruises.




I then had the lobster bisque. just OK.


Mrsdrron had the lobster. A tiny tail.


And I had the filet of beef. Very nice.




In the morning we awoke in the Port of Rouen.

We went on an excursion which started at the cathedral, a lunch and after to Monet's Garden.
The Cathedral -Notre Dame de L'Assomption de Rouen has a long and somewhat turbulent history. It was from 1876 to 1882 the tallest building in the world.

And we move inside. Impressive.































Now I have always looked up in historic buildings. However I found out this dat that those days are gone. If I look straight up I would end up on my ack. The only way I can do it now is sitting on a chair.

with an iPhone, and I imagine most phones, you can switch to the backwards facing camera i.e. towards your face and hold the camera out in front of you. Actually easier to get a properly centred photo if you’re looking for that type of thing.
