Pics from Cruise - Aurora 2002

Photos from around the ship

The theatre - seats 600.

Champions bar - were we watched Wimbledon (weather permitting) and had most pre-dinner drinks.

Our cabin

The terraces, and one of 3 pools (this one was the best)

The deck by the Crystal pool - Richard and George bringing lunch

The Alexandria Restaurant - totally faultless. In the photo, Freddie is becoming accustomed to silver service.

What we did

Sunbathed - Freddie after a tiring swim.	Relaxed on deck with evening drinks! - George, leaving Lisbon
Collected streamers as we left Southampton
Played Table tennis
Ate lots of food! This is children's tea, Freddie is wearing a hat he made earlier in the day (and didn’t want to take off)
George had swimming lessons every day and went from swimming in arm bands to doing almost a whole width with none! (Note, two instructors when this pic was taken)
Swam for fun! (Freddie in turtle)
Sat outside amazing port and cheese shops in Lisbon because it was "too smelly" to go in!
Ate in fantastic restaurants, picked at random, while ashore.
Played in Jumping Jacks (5 -8 year olds club) George and Freddie in the soft play area……
………and in toybox (1 - 4years)
No photos of this, but the boys also had a wonderful time in the night nursery and slumber parties, where they were left at 6:00pm, and picked up again, asleep at 02:00 - if we could keep going that long!
We played tennis - going over the Bay of Biscay in a force 7 (look at the net!)
…and deck quoits
And after all that, we did a fair amount of sleeping (I did get him a bed guard the next night!)

Where we went

Port 1 - Vigo -"twinned with Beirut?" Extraordinary 1960 communist architecture.

Port 2 - Lisbon - Beautiful.

Port 3 - La Rochelle, where we failed to take any photos.

Port 4 - Guernsey. I didn't take any pictures in Guernsey, so here's Aurora from the tender on the way over. Been before, normally fantastic, but not recommended on a Sunday.
