We are in the final day of our cruise. It is expected that we will berth at the P&O wharf around 7.30am tomorrow. We will taxi it to a hotel for an overnight before flying west around midday.
The cruise has been pleasant, but neither bro Graham or I will plan another for some time. We met quite a few people who have done dozens of cruises in various places around the globe. They talk like caravan people with a certain amount of one-upmanship about their cruises.
New Caledonia is to have a referendum next year so the the inhabitants can decide whether to stay as a French territory or 'go it themselves'. The indigenous people are called 'Kanaks'. In New Guinea some bush people are called Kanakas which is a derogatory term.
More about the cruise with photos when I get home.

kev, Good to know that the boat is still afloat and that Graham and you have enjoyed your cruise. The nights and mornings are freezing here, I can't wait to get to Bali and soak up some sun. Rain has been predicted for most of next week. That is something to look forward to,,,,,,Marg
