audience with the queen

Sabado, Pebrero 28, 2009


The queen was in town for a day last tuesday and this is the closest i got, such a shame - i remember when the qe2 was in hk, i was able to get close enough to almost touch the hull.


Cunard Line's Queen Mary 2 docked at Jellicoe Wharf as it is too large to fit into the main cruise terminal at Princes Wharf.

The Queen Mary 2 is 345 metres long and weighs 151,400 tonnes. More than 16,000 meals are served each day to the liner's 2,400 passengers, including 73kg of lobster and 3.3kg of Russian caviar, and the ship's two whistles can be heard from 16km away.
