Sunday 17th September- We arrive back in Newcastle

After a smooth crossing back from Bergen we arrived in Newcastle Port at around 06.30 just as the sun was rising.
CHEERS !!

So we had to be up early for a shower and breakfast around 07.45 as the notification from the crew was that disembarkation would start at around 0730. We finished breakfast and headed back to the cabin and were surrounded by air blowers and dehumidifiers everywhere with crew still drying out the wet carpets etc. At 0815 they announced we could get o the ship and and after a quick trek accords the dock we collected our cases from the collection point in the car park and were on our way shortly before 0845.
We decided to us the A1 (M) again and it was a pretty quiet journey except for one part near Doncaster and the of course on the famous M25. We  arrived home just before 15.00 after had two stops en route for a drink and lunch.
We are glad to be home as the continual rocking of the ship was beginning to get to us.
A very pleasant evening catching up on the Singapore F1 GP which had a very interesting start.
Well that is it for the moment and out next travel plans are to a caravan site towards the middle of next week and with the family joining us for a long weekend.
Still have a lot to do on the Blogger and also organizing the photo blog whilst have sold a few things on ebay and need to get that organised as well.
