This afternoon we were treated to a guided tour of the MSC Opera, docked in Port Elizabeth<\/a> for the day whilst she voyages from Cape Town<\/a> to Durban<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This floating \u2018townhouse complex\u2019 accommodates 2 199 passengers in 856 cabins and is 251.25 metres long \u2013 a whole lot longer than the boat the Longhair and I\u00a0 sailed to Rio de Janeiro on in the 2000 Cape to Rio yacht race. In fact her beam of 28 metres would accommodate two of the 43 foot yachts we sailed on and her height at 54 metres positively dwarfs any large yacht.<\/p>\n

Frankly it was her height that interested me more as I wanted to grab a couple of panoramic images of Port Elizabeth from the harbour atop MSC Opera.<\/p>\n
