SUNDAY:
Hello everyone!
Well this is it. We have packed our suitcases totally now, apart from one or two last minute items that we need to use overnight (which will go in the hand luggage anyway!).
This morning after breakfast we went to an inter-denominational service held by the Captain in the Ballroom and which we all enjoyed.
Then there was a Disembarkation Talk about the order in which we will go ashore in the morning.
We are now about 70 miles from the coast of Denmark sailing towards Newcastle upon Tyne. It is a fine sunny afternoon and we have had a typical Sunday lunch which was wonderful as always here.
This afternoon 'you know who' is just starting to watch the Cricket on the tv in the cabin! and I am writing up our final blog page; then we will both be able to relax before this evening.
We are 'casual' dress code in the dining room tonight of course, as everyone has packed their best clothes. We have to put the cases outside our cabins at 11.00pm tonight and the crew will then load them onto the various coaches ashore tomorrow early morning, and we don't see them again until we get to our destination.
We will have an early breakfast tomorrow (Monday), meet in the ballroom, and when our ticket number is called for our various methods of transport (we are coach to Newcastle and train from Newcastle to York) we will go ashore. Our bags will be on the coach and we will get them back in Newcastle railway station for the start of our land journey home.
As we have to change at York and only have 10 minutes to do so we will have to organise ourselves there; but as it is not far from Hull we could always get the next connection if any 'hiccups' occur.
This is the last page I will post on this Blog on board, as there is nothing further to tell really.
When we get home I will add a final page and some photos from our camera for completion - and as mentioned before there will be a full Cruise 2007 page produced on www.ivyvillacompany.com before long.
Hope you have enjoyed our 'diary' and that we have not rambled too much !!!
