Travelogue
We spent 27 hours sailing from Bilbao to Portsmouth. The biggest challenge was dealing with the utter boredom!
We both managed to get some sleep, despite the ship's antics. The Bay of Biscay is notorious and whilst for us it was by no means rough, there was plenty of cavorting around in the night as we sailed north from Bilbao.
We were up before 7:00 and had breakfast in the cafe as soon as it was open. That was almost the highlight of the day.
We read our books. We watched some shows on the laptop and on the TV in our cabin. We sat outside on the deck in the sunshine for a while. We even got talked into playing a dumb music quiz game by the ship's entertainment staff when we ventured into the bar for cold drinks. At times it felt like we were inmates in a psychiatric hospital or residents of a care home (a glimpse of our futures perhaps?!). Surreal.
And M1, with the short memory that he has, suggested a game of Travel Scrabble with M2. And got slaughtered. Again. But it passed some more time!
Finally, we sailed into Portsmouth at about 21:00. We disembarked with more cyclists than we'd realised were on board and cycled the 3 miles from the port to the Airbnb apartment we're staying in tonight.
That's it. Photos!
