Queen Victoria Cruise

Voyage V913: Mediterranean Medley II - 17th-30th August 2009

Day 4: 20th August - Sea Day 3



 
This is the record of a 13 night cruise taken on board Cunard's Queen Victoria from Southampton on 17th August 2009. This page covers the third sea day out of Southampton on Thursday 20th August.

The third sea day again started bright and sunny. We were going to have to get used to this. Queen Victoria passed through the Straits of Gibraltar early in the morning, but sea mist prevented us from seeing much. We then headed north east for the rest of day, not passing much shipping.

The journalist and white suited ex-MP Martin Bell gave a fascinating talk on his career and views on world conflict. Fellow MP Lembit Opik was also on board, though apparently just for a holiday with his attractive, not non-cheeky, companion. Two further Martin bell talks were scheduled for later in the cruise.
