What a nice cruisey day... except for our early morning wake up call!
We arrived in Harwich harbour at 6.30am (England time) and this time we were ready on time...ish! We headed through customs who questioned why we were only staying in England for 2 days the caught the train to Liverpool Street. When there we caught the Underground to King's Cross (Our new home) and went to out hostel (it was free to leave our luggage there for the day).

Steve came back from his shower and he had turned the shower on (while fully dressed) to see what it was like... needless to say he went to dinner with wet shorts!
Had pasta for tea – believe it or not but the ability of being able to have burgers and fries every night has fast worn off!
We went to McDonald's for 'dessert' (actually it was so

Back to our cell room by 9.30 and went straight to bed!
Boring but nice and laid-back.
