On my way into Stornoway today I saw the towering presence of MS Queen Victoria.
The last time I saw her was in Sydney. The first time I saw her was in Napier on the 1 March 2008.
Launched in 2007 she is a fairly impressive 294 metres long although the current largest cruise ship, Symphony of The Seas is 361 metres.
It made me realise, yet again, just how small a world we live in. I've tried to find out how many nautical miles she must have travelled in her life so far but I've not been successful. Nevertheless it is a slightly strange feeling to have seen this ship as far away from my present home as she could have been.
Coincidentally on this day 10 years ago I also posted about a cruise ship far from home here.
