Valentinesday part IV

They gave us two keys to the room. Keys! Metal keys, not those credit card looking things. No key ring, just two keys. I opened the door with my key.

As we were getting ready to leave BH asked me if I had my key. I looked on the counter, grabbed the key and put it in my pocket. I put on my jacket and left my purse on the bed.

We strolled on the deck.

Four times around the deck is one mile!

This was before gyms became standard on cruise ships I suppose. If you absolutely had to exercise while vacationing you could do a couple of miles on deck.

I don't exercise, ever, I wont be doing it on vacation.
The fire station.Publish PostWith all original accrutraments. A view from the stern.


I have a question?
Why is there a telephone booth on the deck?
No satellite, no cell, didn't you have to have phone lines?



The ship was used to haul around a bunch of smelly sailors during WWII. This is an anti aircraft heavy machine gun.
War ship/pleasure cruise ship. A strange mix don't you think?

I loved the size of this chain.
It holds the ships anchor.
See those red roofed buildings on the water. We had lunch there. It's a little shopping village. They have a great candy store where we got some awesome fudge.


I thought this was interesting. They have a paranormal research center on board. It was closed for remodeling. There are many ghost sitings on board. We had thought we might get a visit from the Woman in White. She strolls the deck and appears from time to time.
Her dress? Maybe it just looks like it.


When we get back to the room I find that my key is missing. BH tried to use his and it didn't work. We had to get a new one from the desk.

I looked everywhere. All my pockets, in my jacket and pants. When we got inside I tore up my purse, even though I knew I didn't put it in there. Under the bed, in the bathroom. Everywhere! It never did turn up. I think the Woman in White lifted it.

I really do.

What a need experience. My grandparents traveled on the QEII which I guess is the sister ship.

I love that they've kept so many things original on the ship to look at.

Did you eat on the ship?

Well no, we didn't. We wanted to. We tried to. I'll post it later.
