An early morning start yesterday saw us drive from the west to the east of London on the M25. Despite all predictions the journey was easy at 70mph most of the way. Despite heavy traffic the lack of intersections and use of roundabouts saw a much easier drive compared to Aussies love of traffic lights to snarl things up. Hazel did a quick search to find something for us to do before boarding, so a couple of hours was spent at the wonderful Beth Chatto’s garden. Fantastic use of plants produced atmospheric gardens in a relatively small area. Joining Voyagerwas easy, everything well signposted and organised. Compared to T42 our cabin is quite spacious, and the bathroom positively luxurious ! Overall we are very impressed with the ship, staff and facilities. The wifi is a bit limited so I might have to limit the number and size of pictures on the blog. The lectures have given us an apertite for the tours to come. At present we are still crossing the North Sea , quite smooth so far, on our way to Bergen
