We finally docked in Southampton on a very wet and very cold Friday morning at 5.30am, after a very rough crossing (Force 10) across the Bay of Biscay. There was a slight delay in our disembarkation, so we waited in the Crows Nest with our hand luggage until about 11.30am when we were instructed to go ashore.
After collecting our other eight cases we dived through the nothing to declare!!! exit where Nicola and Tom were waiting for us.
After loading our cases Nicola could hardly contain her excitement as she gave us the above Welcome Home card. ----Please read carefully ----. You will then understand there were lots of tears and excitement as we drove out of Southampton Docks back home.
Needless to say this was a perfect end to a perfect holiday and it looks as though Doreen and I have a new project to work on.
