Another transit day. Travel involves a lot of this inefficient use of time, waits punctuated by brief bursts of activity.
Fortunately, we had access to the boat for much of the day. Even though we and our bags had to be out of our cabin by 9am, there were several groups who had transfers and flights arranged by Riviera who could stay on board, so the staff didn't mind us doing the same. We thought of going to see more attractions, but the only one I could think of was the Stock Exchange Palace and that felt like a palace too far. So after hanging around a while we walked down to the Atlantic Ocean and back.
After some lunch I then walked up river as far as I could in the time available, then mid afternoon we took a taxi to the airport. And that was more waiting in a series of places... the duty free queue, the lounge, the gate, and sitting on the plane for a period before it went anywhere.
But really that all went pretty smoothly and uneventfully, and the flight was a bit over two hours, then an hour and a half or so back to Herne Bay.
