Greenock, Scotland Part 2

                                                              a 9 14 (89) (1024x763)                      This is the city hall of Greenock. The Queen of England visited here some months ago, to open a new portion of the building. She has rooms that are just for her, including her own personal toilet, that no one can use but her.

                                                             a 9 14 (82) (1024x768)This is the Queen’s throne…….can you tell how low the toilet is? She is a very short person. I really wanted to sit on the “throne” but time was short and I might have gotten shot.

Here is another church we saw    a 9 14 (53) (1024x768)

When we returned to the ship we saw a folk show. It was one of the best shows we had seen on board. Sorry to say, since we expected, since this is a very large one with over 3,000 passengers, that the entertainment would be better than on the smaller ships. It has not been.

Scotland is lovely. You don’t get to see much of any country when you travel by ship. Here are some shots of lovely Scotland

                                    a 9 14 again (15) (1024x760)                  See the little island behind the yellow buoy? It is not an island but the bottom of a capsized ship. The ship was carrying sugar when it sunk, so if you catch fish from the ship you have to throw it back because they cause diabetes Winking smile
