Flagship French Fleet [not really]
At Sea: Over night and early morning we steamed in a South Westerly direction, later on during the day we altered course and headed in a West-South-Westerly direction. During our sea day today at some stage we will cross the Greenwich Meridian, this is the line that separates the eastern and western hemispheres, such as the equator divides the northern and southern hemispheres. It runs from the North Pole to the South Pole passing through the borough of Greenwich, in London giving the line its name.



We have noticed that as we head further north we are leaving the oppressive heat behind us, the temperature now is quite pleasant, in fact at night on the upper deck it can get a bit chilly. I have also included some extra photos taken in France and Barcelona to this post. With our limited grasp of foreign languages and all this country hopping, at times we have to stop and think where we are to be able to say please and thank you in the local language. Tomorrow Gibraltar.
