Looking into the QE2

The beautiful Cunarder RMS QUEEN ELIZABETH 2 visited Lisbon again on 14 August 2008, so now we have only three more calls including the farewell on 13 November 2008.
She will return to Lisbon on 29 August, 29 October and 13 November, closing a special relationship between the QE2 and Lisbon started on 28 April 1969 on her maiden call while on the shake down cruise prior to the maiden transatlantic voyage to NY...
At the time she looked a very attractive girl with her original slim white funnel. Now it is almost over and I can't find Sam to to ask
"Play it again, Sam, play it again..."
