We took a trip today along the coast to Birling Gap – a place where the sea is swallowing the land, and where it’s easy to admire the “white cliffs”; these cliffs are eroding fast, and buildings are vanishing as years pass – note the rubble at the base of the cliffs:
We then took a walk along the cliff top towards Beachy Head (we’d planned to walk all the way, but there were more up/down sections than anticipated); the walk gets pretty close to the edge in some spots!
Very windy in Brighton this afternoon, and creating spectacular waves on the pebbly beach – I took this video near to the burned out West Pier (where the new i360 tower is being constructed):
I took a few photos, too:
A few other photos, that didn’t seem to fit in the daily posts … here is the La Cucina restaurant which serves Italian food in the evening, but is the VIP breakfast and lunch restaurant; beautiful and quiet, with as many as two wait staff to each table (we never saw more than about five tables occupied, when we were there!):
The carpet in the hall to our room is decorated with fish heading the same way as the ship – except for the occasional rebel that is supposed to represent Norwegian, that “cruise different”:
Excellent steak dinner at Cagneys, our first night (I didn’t bother with daily food pictures!)
Our of the central areas of the ship:
Dinner preparations at Teppanyaki:
A “towel elephant”; we had a different towel animal every night including a rabbit (it was Easter), frog, pig and bear!
We enjoyed a fruit carving demonstration:
And that’s the end!
