Beautiful, simply beautiful!

I really like how, as you scroll down, first you see QV and then QE2 - it really shows the contrast of these two Queens.

Thanks for sharing.

Whoops August it's July chanced it already.
It rained the whole day in Rotterdam as if the city cry-ed fore QE2 last visit. She was bow inn first. That made here departure less elegant. so we decided to go to Schiedam and watch here departure and turn around from there.

It was AL so sad with the wind, rain and grey sky and QE2 looking finer then ever. All watching and agreed we saw history sail away.

Greetings Ben.

Bit like Bergen, Ben. Rained most of the day but by the time it came to her final sailaway she brought the sun out so it was a happy occasion. Rotterdam do ships proud for first and last calls. I'm looking forward in a way to my last trip in a few months as it's last calls at every port. Should be a good atmosphere, if Bergen's anything to go by, but sad at the same time.
