Gosport Ferry webcam appears to be down at the moment. Used to view it via this link: http://www.alarming.co.uk/cameras/httpdocs/current.jpg

Question regarding cabins on Pont Aven. Just wondering what the difference is between these two types of cabin: Outside large 2/4 berth cabin. Outside 4 berth Club cabin. Is it just the TV and perhaps coffee & tea making facilities or is the Club larger than a standard cabin? What do you get for the extra cost?

Are we expecting another visit from the yanks maybe?

Here is another live cam located on the Isle Of Wight. It is situated high up on the spire of All Saints Church 150 feet above of Ryde and over looks the Solent towards Portsmouth and Southampton. There is plenty to be seen on a daily basis, with cruise and container ships passing by and ferries and hovercraft making regular crossing between the Island and mainland coasts. http://iwccti.co.uk/wordpress/index.php/ryde-webcam/

PA still in Santander. Captured this pic from the port webcam showing PA with her bow doors slightly open. They must be carrying out some work on her while she is laid up.

Re: Restaurant recommendations, Saint-Malo Yes the excellent La Licorne, 6 Place Chateaubriand, 35400 Saint-Malo. Spent a good 3 hours here one afternoon last December. Great food and service.

Re: Cafe's restaurant’s & bars within walking distance. Found a very nice cafe in the square in front of the cathedral called Cafe La Catedral. Easy to get to from the port. Here is a link to the trip advisor page: http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g187484-d3906053-r153261175-Cafe_Catedral-Santander_Cantabria.html

I am travelling to Santander soon on a mini cruise aboard Pont Aven. We have got up to 3 hours in Santander. Can anyone recommend any good cafe/bar/restaurants that are within walking distance of the port and that are easy to get to and return from within the 3 hours ashore.
