Welcome to my travel blog. We are occasional cruisers, usually with the aim of travelling at least once each year.

 Previously I have published each cruise with a separate blog. I have now decided to combine them all in a single location. This blogs primary purpose is to keep a summary of our cruises for ourselves.
The Brisbane ship tab is a list of upcoming ships into Brisbane for the ship watcher enthusiast. The photo tab are cruise ship photos. World cruise blog tab has links to follow, making it easier if you access the blog by a mobile device and can't see my reading list on the right.

Monday 1st January 2012, Sea day and Walpole Island

Today was just a lovely sea day with plenty of time to make it to Lifou Island tomorrow. The captain announced that we would be detouring for some scenic cruising past Walpole Island in the Pacific, east of Isle of Pines around about lunch time.
The island is small with high cliffs and if you really want more info on it then the Australian museum has published a paper that can be downloaded here. (Note: large pdf file)




Lunch today was typical Aussie with fresh prawns laid on. Delicious. I can't imagine how many they served today.

Entertainment tonight

  • International crew show
  • Tom Jones tibute by Jacques Renay

Dinner

Waterfront restaurant.
No menu photos so I can't recall exactly what we ate except there was another creme brulee. Can't go past that on the menu.

 Tomorrow we are in Lifou, New Caledonia.
