For the past 9 days we have been sailing in luxury (well, compared with what we are used to anyway) across the Atlantic and arrived safely in Dover early this morning. We have eaten way too much from the all day, all you can eat buffet, watched lots of films, played lots of volleyball...well Ian played, I watched, been to shows, danced the night away to 70s music and thrown in the occassional game of ping pong.

We don't want it to end but are looking forward to being home...if that's not too much of a contradiction! a few nights ago we took the mammoth 27 hour train journey from New York and it was surprisingly ok.

It is an old rail track that runs above the city streets that they have converted into a park. They haven't got rid of the tracks but made a feature out of them; they have built wooden sun beds, put old train wheels on them and put them on the rails. It ...
