The past few days we traveled from Ponta Delgada, Portugal to La Coruna, Spain to Zebrugge, Belgium to, today, Day 34, Le Havre, France. Tomorrow, our final port, Southampton, UK.
In the Spring of this year we completed a circumnavigation of the globe, including a Tauck Tulip River Cruise that included stops in Belgium. We also during the trip stayed in Barcelona, Spain and Southampton, UK. Click on that UK link for a nightmarish introduction to Southampton. This time we are paying to have our Norwegian ship bus us from that city to Heathrow Airport.
However, British Air has two terminals there, 3 and 5. You can walk between those location, but they are 3 miles apart. BA uses Terminal 3 for short haul flights. The flight time between Heathrow and Schipol (Amsterdam) is only 1 hour and 25 minutes. But our itinerary shows that BA446 departs from Terminal 5. So we need to have that re-confirmed. (British Air just sent me an e-mail indicating our departure gate will, indeed, be in Terminal 5). I suspect that many flights from major European airports use Terminal 5 at Heathrow because their passengers then transfer to a long-haul flight. Then that flight returns to their home airport.
On Day 33, we had dinner in Savor. Caesar salad and asparagus soup, followed by a New York Strip Steak.
Maybe our final noodle lunch of this trip.
Man-Yi was earlier today a SUPER TYPHOON at 160 MPH, and crashed into the Panganiban municipality on Catanduanes Island at 121 MPH. Will cause havoc on the main island near Luzon City, then head for Vietnam.
