The Great Sail Home, it was actually a TransAtlantic Cruise, with a stop at the Azores. The scheduled stop was to be Ponta Delgada in the Azores. We’d been there before and planned to repeat our last visit. We wanted to take the excursion of the Sights and Cheese and Wine Sampler. This included a trip to see the two lakes, Sete Cidades. The lakes are famous for their striking colours. One lake appears green and the other blue. But, the weather can be very changeable. Rain and wind are common.
26/03/2024 – Last stop before the great sail home – to Southampton and, the steroids are doing their job. Podge can breathe so much better🙏.
We’ve been here so many times before that we had no great plans: Not even to visit Nelson Harbour. So, we decided that today we would simply go ashore and check out the shops but this time, we would visit Redcliffe Quay. For some reason, we’d never even seen this on the map even though its just around the corner of the main drag past the Heritage Quay Complex.
25/03/2024 – 3rd and last time for this trip.
Most likely not returning anytime soon as P&O seem to have dropped this port, at least on the Britannia. So sad, no more Champions Bar. 😥 An amazing bar playing lots of local songs such as, Delilah, Living Next Door to Alice (rude version) and the yogi bear song (very rude). Just loved watching the parents faces 🤣
And, we met one of Tubbs’s new boyfriends.
