Our first segment ended in Dover on Friday where many passengers disembarked and we took on a new load of passengers that included 112 Australians.
We caught a cab into Dover which is quite a nice village, a very nice pedestrian street with good shopping, some English pubs and very ordinary Citizens many with tattoos. A very large sports store allowed us to buy a certain soccer jersey and we went to a supermarket to stock up on a few provisions.
On our return to the ship we learnt of a huge storm approaching the English coastline so we were advised that as soon as we left port it was full speed ahead to get to Dublin out of its way.
We docked in Dublin last night at 10.30 ten hours ahead of schedule and it is raining heavily this morning. We leave later today for Belfast.
Conditions were a bit ordinary and even the crew were feeling uncomfortable yesterday morning. It settled down later and was quite calm by the time we arrived.
