Day 8 - Aberdeen

Docked in a commercial  port near Aberdeen  this morning with a nice view of an oil rig that's in port for maintenance.   

We were booked  on the city tour in the afternoon,  which was a good thing as it rained all morning  and  finally cleared up about an hour before our tour started.  So we spent the morning onboard just chilling out and reading. 

Our first stop on the tour was Duthie Park, which still boasts its original Victorian layout  including  bandstand. It also houses an extensive  greenhouse  complex  that's probably the 2nd biggest in the  UK after Kew.  



After that we went to Kings college  chapel and the cathedral.  


Back onboard at 4.30 we had an early  meal and quite a few cocktails before  sobering up enough to win the trivia quiz  in the Explorer's  lounge.
