Sailing away



Today, I think I will write about travel, the sort which evokes a cruising experience from a bygone era, when the ship dominated transatlantic travel, before the jet age.
They must have been very glamorous times, when you would wave goodbye to the people left behind and as the poster says " Getting there is half the fun!"


We would need to pack our clothes in a steamer trunk. This one belonged to Greta Garbo ~

These two majestic Cruise ships were in port  this week, on Tuesday the Queen Victoria and today the Queen Elizabeth.

How does this sound, to you ... Art and antiques, world class dining experience,  deco ball rooms, swimming pools, posh spas, entertainment and amazing sea views, by day and  moon light and starry nights from the deck at night.
I could be tempted by all this and every time I see one of the boats in port I  feel like going to pack a little  bag and sail away for an adventure. A summer holiday from 38 pound ~ those were the days!


Hope that you are having a lovely week
hugs
