Today 500 people got off and another 500 got on. We had to go through immigration, even though we were going right on with the trip. (see the little British there? )
We spend way too much time looking for internet connections. Today we walked all around the tiny, tiny town of Tilbury. The only one we found that was working was in a (you guessed it) Mc Donald’s. Then I used up the battery on our computer just working on couchsurfing. It turns out that it is very time consuming to find a host in Amsterdam. Our first 4 tries were unable to host us, so I had to find another 4 to ask. We may rethink this whole idea, since we do not want to spend our trip on the internet rather than seeing where we are. We may also find that not planning ahead may take even more time in the city when we arrive.
Well, can you tell that I am tired right now? We changed cabins today, so we had to pack and then unpack in a smaller room. No, this was not a surprise, we planned it, but still it was a pain. All done now.
Now we have a mostly new shipload of passengers to get to know. The ship holds about 750 passengers. About 250 of us are continuing, so like I said, 500 new friends to make.
Yesterday we stopped in Cherbourg, France. We did not take an excursion, we almost never do, but we stayed in town and again, worked on the internet. We docked at an old port building.
Like I said, we didn’t see much of the city. He had been here before (check out world cruise of 08, Duaneandarleen.blogspot.com)
