We are somewhere between Sydney and New Caledonia. The ship is a bit Rock n Rollish in rough seas.The Skipper tells us that tomorrow will be calmer.
Sydney is a great place to visit..if it isn't raining non-stop. It had been raining for the last 10+ days and the sale of umbrellas has boosted the Australian economy. Our hotel was in Darling Harbour which is a massive entertainment area.
On Saturday night I caught up with some friends fro our Papua New Guinea days. We gathered at a club in Coogee. Another friend from my earlier time in PNG, Albert, drove us around to a few touristy places before delivering us to the harbour to board the Pacific Pearl.
Graham and I rode the SydneyMonorail on its last day of operation. I am unsure exactly why it was shut down. I have heard lots of reasons and one of them was that it "just doesn't suit Sydney town'.
Thanks Sydney friends. Great to catch up.
Wednesday: Last night the sea was still rough and the whole ship creaked and banged all night.
The entire ship ran out of hot water early yesterday and it took most of the day for engineers to fix a major pump to get hot water back on.
Can't post photos until we get home.

Kev, Good to know that you enjoyed Sydney and that you caught up with your friends. Hope the sea has calmed down and the hot water has been fixed. We are all freezing over here. Have you been able to use your balcony yet or is it to rough? Enjoy the scenery....... Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink.....Coleridge. Marg
The ship from hell? Paul W.
