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.

Saturday 30th December 2017 - Mare Island, New Caledonia

Today we arrived at Mare island, and this is a tender port. We we were previously here in 2015 so weren't in a huge hurry to get a tender boat to shore. We pre-purchased tickets to Yejele beach and knew a couple of hours swimming at the beach would be plenty for us. Last bus from the beach was 3pm, with final tender at 4pm.
