0 Comments QE2 set to be a Cape Town hotel

Word viagra! Word viagra! BONER!

I get quite excited at things like this because I’m quite exciteable at the moment. And not just because you, miss (The one sipping your coffee right now) are flashing me some of that La Perla. That’s for another story.

Well what has happened, is there is news floating around that the cruise liner, the QE2 may be docking in Cape Town where it will act as a floating hotel. Never before in the history of Cape Town has it been simpler to get action. You simply tell birds that you stay “On a cruise liner”

You don’t need to read the game, you don’t need to be smooth, you just need to know that single line.

The Queen Elizabeth 2, or QE2, was the flagship of the Cunard Line for more than 40 years. Her maiden voyage took place in 1969 (69? HA HA coincidence with you the Cape Town hotel plan? I think not!) and she was one of the last great Transatlantic liners. She weighs 70327 tons (That’s a big bitch) , is 963 feet long (About my size) and has a top speed of 32.5 knots.

The QE2′s new owners, Dubai based Nakheel had planned to turn the QE2 into a seven star floating hotel off Dubai. But then the recession came along.

They have now applied for permission to berth the QE2 in Cape Town’s commercial port.

It would make sense, especially in time for the 2010 World Cup, I think.  It would be kind of cool, because the last time I was on a ship was in THIS article in Cape Town, where we tried to hook up with some people from Semester At Sea. And we failed. Read that story for a true account of what happened that debaucherous night.
