Carnival Cruise Lines has announced a
special shore excursion to visit a “full sized
replica” of Thomas the Tank Engine.
The exciting trip is available during several
selected upcoming voyages aboard Carnival
Glory which call at Saint John in New
Brunswick, Canada.
It includes a rain ride along the town’s
waterfront along with a variety of
‘Thomas & Friends’ entertainment such as
handicrafts, videos and storytelling – plus a
special appearance by none other than Sir
Topham Hatt.
A message in a bottle thrown into the
Atlantic Ocean in 1985 has washed up
in Croatia, after floating for 28 years and
travelling almost 8000km.
The bottle was found during a beach cleanup
day near the port of Ploce on the Adriatic
Sea, among “the rubbish that winter rains
have brought to the shore,” according to its
finder, 23-year-old Matea Rezic.
Rezic said that the bottle was broken but
the message, written with a blue ballpoint
pen was “in good shape as it was plastic
coated,” according to an AFP report.
The mysterious message simply stated
“Mary, you are really great person, I hope
we can keep in correspondence. I said I
would write. Your friend forever. Jonathon,
Nova Scotia, 1985”.
A photo of the missive has been posted on
Facebook, sparking a thus far unsuccessful
search for the erstwhile Jonathan or Mary
amid speculation as to how on earth
Jonathan thought she would get the
message by putting it in a bottle and tossing
it into the ocean.
