Sunday 21 September

Hello from Dublin. We arrived at 2am & left the ship 9am to come into town. It is the most beautiful day & today is the Final of the Irish Football so heaps of people around. Not in Cats & Hawks colours though! We are meeting our friends the Kettles after church - yes you heard right - George is quite keen to go & hear a good choir! Guess he will also be doing a bit of praying for next weekend.
We had a great day in Dover on Friday. Met up with Sally & Dave White (she was G's secretary for 12 years) & spent most of the day in Canterbury. Loved the city, hadn't been there before, & then back to Dover where we found a great restaurant with a courtyard for lunch. Enjoyed a couple of bottles of NZ sav blanc & I couldn't front up to dinner that night. No surprise that George did, though.
A nice day at sea yesterday - the only problem is food. Too much of it. The detox programme will be VERY necessary when we get back. Caroline says we'll be lucky to last 3 days - wait & see!!!
Belfast tomorrow, haven't been there so should be fun.
Haven't done anything cultural for a few days, maybe when we get to Iceland that will happen.
