A colleague of mine went round-trip last summer by boat from the U.S. to Wales, but this year he opted to fly to save time. I'm with Kathy -- can't imagine spending that much time aboard ship, although it was the speedy travel of its day.Molly of Molly's Canopyhttp://mollyscanopy.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-42001203450346960582018-07-29T15:16:27.946+01:002018-07-29T15:16:27.946+01:00How wonderful, though cramped, to travel by ship. ...How wonderful, though cramped, to travel by ship.

Yet that's how all my ancestors made it to the States and I wouldn't be here if not for them. I enjoyed your great photographs!

Rather than fly over to London, we took a ferry and train. The ferry was so relaxing with no crowds, and a beautiful way to learn something about how people once traveled by ship around the British Isles and far beyond too.

We rode up-top on the ferry from Oban going over, but stayed below coming back as the weather had changed! I still remember Kit trying to keep his balance on the rocking ferry while bringing ice cream back to Suzanne and me from the ferry's snack bar. :)La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.com
