a titanic boat party
so Beit hall hired for us the largest boat on the river thames; complete with food, dancing, and singing! what’s not to like?
posing just outside Beit, in front of the Royal Albert Hall
the theme for the boat party was Titanic, so everyone was dressed to the nines
the tower of london castle along the way to the pier
high walls and nice green grass!
funny catapult thingies and tents around too
our destination
queuing up to board the boat
the Dixie Queen! with the HMS Belfast in the background
aboard the Dixie Queen!
a Titanic like chandelier on board
Victorian furnishings
the grand dance floor/disco
the huge dining room on the first level
enjoying some time outside soaking in the breeze
remi, joe and paavo from left to right
on the upper deck. you can see jack to the right of the picture. or rather, the only one who bothered dressing as jack. still, you can’t have too many jacks on the titanic can you
the boat was so huge that they had to raise tower bridge just to let our boat pass
people gathering around the upper deck to see something you don’t get to see everyday!
it rises bit by bit! traffic and pedestrians are halted on both sides
and finally! we are able to pass under
tourists waving to us from above
and the guy who’s in charge of raising the bridge too
back inside for food!
paavo looks happy with his food. (it was excellent by the way)
further proof
so does joe, while charles is more concerned about his hair. hahaha
the glorious food on offer. i liked the mediterranean salad!
paavo trying to evoke micheal jackson
sizing each other up for a fight
another boat which was about a third the size of ours. still, it didn’t stop them from partying wildly, as you can tell from the upper deck
socks with boats! hahahaha totally matches the theme
the tate modern as seen in the evening glow
with the 02 arena in the background
i bet you look good on the dancefloor;
the night lights as seen from the Thames
tower bridge at night! end.
