9 July 2013 Greenock

This morning we sailed up the Clyde into Greenock, Greenock is a small town and the port for Glasgow.  I was up early to go to my stretch and abs class and gracious me I am very pleased I was, such beauty at we sailed up the Clyde, very picture book indeed.  We were greeted by a piper and some Scotsmen in their kilts, Sam did say it gave him goosebumps. We left the ship about 8.45, Donald was there to meet us it was lovely to see him, we then went to see Katy and Joe and we had a very lovely reunion.  We then went to see Margaret and Jimmie. Sam, Donald, Katy and Margaret are cousins.  We went for a drive to Aberfoyle, had some lunch and spent the afternoon, it was the most beautiful weather, 29 degrees unheard of in Scotland.  It was very lovely for us to all catch up and we were back at ship by about 5.00ish, very special being met by your loved ones.  A pipe band farewelled the ship as we sailed away, this was special indeed.  We had a sea day (needed one too) the next day.  Love Sabine and Sam  XXX
