Remember this ship from our little river boat cruise? We had nothing prominent on our list of things to do and this was close - free tour, we'll take it! I will say, I got a little bored and freaked out all at the same time. I was certain we were going to be lost forever (even with all the signs - some be them vague, giving us direction), stuck in the bottom of this massive ship, destine to go down if this ship decided to give out.......yes dramatic, but still I'm claustrophobic on ships at sea, remember Titanic (ironic is I'm listening to that song on Pandora - haha!)
'My heart will go on......' hahaha
yes, please, I'd love to sit right here and shoot things.....out in the open.
at the helm (go cougs!) check out the 'computers'
Now pictures from Jeff's phone: A BOMB! :)
do I look scared? this is where I was starting to freak out a little. tight quarters, small walkway, long way down....
this is where we split up and I refused to go down any farther - I could see this from the level up. there was a small viewing window.
the other thing that creeped me out were these fake people and then there was simulated sound of them talking, playing games, etc. It was especially creepy when the hammocks started to sway (only because live people pushed them), but I still felt like I was moving with them and waiting for someone to jump out at me. Forget the haunted house, this freaks me out enough. God bless those who serve on these ships, airplanes, on the ground and in the submarines. I couldn't do it.

great, get in here if the ship goes down.......
So the tour was closing and we were the last ones on there. I high-tailed it back to the beginning and then lost Jeff some where. He went right, I went left and somehow he took another 5 minutes (seemed like a long time when I thought I had to go back in to find him......)
Thank you HMS Belfast and those who served with you.
