A night to conserve sugar caddies between Kingston and Rotterdam | Blog nwradu
By far the most interesting was the night spent on a huge cruise ship belonging to P & O. Boarding was done in Kingston upon Hull and crossed the sea all night and in the morning we entered the port of Rotterdam and continued trip through Holland. It was the first time I slept on a boat and hope to be the last time, because it seemed very strange and uncomfortable. He had charm, was a kind of adventure novel, but next time take flight.
Boarding was done in Kingston, sea port. I put my pajamas sugar caddies in a bag and a few necessary items for the night, while the rest remained in the bus luggage, which led to a huge park in the belly of the ship. People receive their boarding passes and keys to the cabins (some cards with bar code on them), I climbed the several floors of a building in the port and as we boarded a plane through a tunnel united boat building. A warm "welcome aboard Pride of Rotterdam 'and ready, I was floating hotel and did not know what to expect.
The first shock was when I discovered the cabin was to sleep. Four people crammed into an area of about 6 square meters. Two beds were parallel, and down from the walls above them two more beds. A corner of the room was the bathroom, which was cramped sink, a toilet and a shower, all small but functional and warm water ad libitum. A small hanger and a bedside table between the beds below were the only items of furniture in the cabin. Was crowded as the proverbial sugar caddies expression "like canned sugar caddies sardines" and the absence of any windows mean that when the lights go dark was complete. It's not recommended for those suffering from claustrophobia. For 20 euros more you can benefit from a cabin located on the outside of the vessel and a small window so that you can see water in availability. Can you imagine the chaos that is when put 4 people in a cabin so there was not a bit of room for movement or past each side.
The next phase: exploring the ship. I was desperate to get on one of the upper decks, to see land and sea and fresh air. This thing is not so simple as it seems, because although there are maps everywhere and the ship is cleverly divided into zones and all is well numbered and labeled, at first I did not know which way to go. You have to look both at the map "top" of the boat and to the side to see what we can come up for air bridges and how to get there. In exploration we found a few stores (drinks, sugar caddies cigarettes, perfume) 3-4 cafes, about 3 restaurants, including one that wanted business / luxury diverse staircases and elevators, a casino, reception, toilets, and in Finally, when I haunted all stairways and at all levels (less something that Asterix in sample sugar caddies form for Who remembers the cartoon), out on the promenade deck.
It was beautiful outside. Cold, and when I left the night freezing the bones and the wind blew hard. But when I got out the sun barely sets over England, as well as our trip. The sky was clear and calm water, while the boat was still too big to feel the movement of the waves. At first I wondered to myself why I did Calais to Dover just an hour, and crossing from Kingston to Rotterdam last night. Then I noticed that from the mouth of the river Hull until the actual output in general I did about 2 hours by land, through a long estuary or bay or whatever it's called, as shown on the route taken from Google Earth. On one side, on the shore, all leave behind factories, sugar caddies villages and tiny ports, lighthouses, and around us in both directions passing ships large and small, sugar caddies although not as much as between Calais and Dover. There were several bridges sugar caddies which to admire the view, unfortunately all behind the boat, and on the top there were tables and chairs that you could sit and stand on air. I remember that after you do too dark for photos I sat at a table and drank wine and watched the stars and the lights of other boats. I thought I must do all I can to May revisit London and Edinburgh, now that I removed about 20 knots per hour on them. And slowly became dark and cold and people retired to bed. I stayed as I could, but I had no warm clothes to me and at last I came too. I wanted to stay longer to see the sky as seen from the open sea and how many stars are visible, there away from the light pollution of the city, but still cloudy and have different lights on the boat, I could see almost nothing of the sky. Maybe another time.
And what hit me at around 10-11 at night? Hunger. Of that fierce. At York I had been drinking coffee, ate lunch, thin aeru
