Day 73
March 14, 2010An early start this morning to watch the Queen Mary 2 come into port.
The time of her arrival was brought forward to 05.45 and we expected to be alone. There were thousands of people on the wharf to greet her! With just 100 feet to spare they turned the massive 1150 foot ship, around, 180 degrees in the port. …awesome!
Walking back at 7am we spotted the green gates to our nearest pub…The Norfolk.
I need some sleep……….
To give an idea of scale she is 147 feet longer than the Eiffel Tower and is only 117 feet shorter than the Empire State Building is tall
The Norfolks picture would make a great brochure / book illustration.
