Today was moving day. We were picked up at the hotel at 7:20 a.m. and headed for the airport to make connections with the people from Princess. They provide free transportation down to Dover and our ship. We were actually able to get on the first bus out, an hour before the scheduled second bus. The driver was funny, telling us all the ride was boring so we could all just go to sleep. Little did he (or we) know. The drive is about 3 hours of cows and huge corn fields. About 2 hours into the ride, the traffic came to a dead stop. The driver got a call saying there was some sort of accident causing an hour's delay. For 45 minutes we did not move an inch. Luckily, we were near a rest stop and he was able to get us there. After a half hour rest and stretch, we were back on the bus and able to move. Apparently a van of some sort was towing a trailer and the trailer over-turned, causing the road to be closed completely. We were told that there is no license necessary in the UK. Anyone can tow anything! From that point on, we moved quickly on to Dover.
From what I could see, Dover is not very large but the view coming down to it is beautiful. And those cliffs really are very white!
We are now on board and moving gently through the water. I have already booked myself a facial in the spa for tomorrow morning. Ah, I love cruises!!!
