Last Friday night after eating dinner, we kept hearing big boat horns. We hear these occasionally here, but we'd never heard so many before. Whatever was happening we wanted to see it! We could have walked down to Ogden Point, but we were afraid we might miss the excitement if we didn't get there quickly, so we jumped in the car and drove down.

There were three huge cruise ships at the point, two docked and one just pulling away. I wasn't able to get a photo of this, because I was driving, but when you approach Ogden Point from the east on Dallas Road, the sight of the cruise ships so close to the residences is really quite amazing. It's as though someone threw up two or three huge hotels right across Dallas Road from the homes there.

There's quite a lot of parking down at Ogden Point, and much of is is clearly reserved for cruise ship support vehicles. There are many buses. But there is also pay parking for people down for the walk or for a bite in the restaurant. Surprisingly, you can even charge your electric vehicle down there, if you pay to park in one of two electric charging stations I found!
