The theme letter for our travel pics this week is up to Q – so we’ve chosen Quiet Reflections. We visited Dunedin, New Zealand on a cruise ship (the Carnival Spirit) and loved the city – it was small but vibrant, friendly, historic and beautiful. But it was as we sailed out again that I was…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is up to Q – so we’ve chosen Quiet Reflections. To me, Cannery Row at Monterey Bay in California was always about Steinbeck, and his reflections on the flotsam and jetsam of society that was washed up on its shores. But then I went to Cannery Row…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is up to Q – so we’ve chosen Quiet Reflections. Noumea, in New Caledonia, is on the itinerary of almost every cruise ship sailing the South Pacific. And its probably fair to say it’s not the favourite port for many .. in fact, lots of passengers don’t…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is up to Q – so we’ve chosen Quiet Reflections. To start the week off, a church bell in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. We stayed in the Zona Colonial (Old Town) of Santo Domingo over Easter 2015, and it was an interesting insight into a deeply Catholic country –…
The theme for our travel pics this week is P for Pacific Islands. And we end the week at one of my favourite islands – Lifou, in the Loyalty Islands of New Caledonia. Lifou is a regular stop for many cruise ships – and it has some of the best shore-side snorkelling in the…
The theme for our travel pics this week is P for Pacific Islands. For Saturday, lets check out some street art in Noumea, New Caledonia. Just as you walk back to the Gare Maritime, or main Quay in Noumea, you’ll see a wall of amazing street art. It’s colourful, spectacular, and reminds me a lot of a…
The theme for our travel pics this week is P for Pacific Islands. Today it’s Tivua Island – a small uninhabited atoll off Fiji’s Viti Levu island. It’s used as a day-trip from nearby Nadi – but also has two isolated bure huts – used for holidaymakers who stay overnight after the daytrippers sail back…
The theme for our travel pics this week is P for Pacific Islands. For Thursday, how about we head to Mystery Island, – arguably, the southern-most island in Vanuatu (there are also the Matthew and Hunter Islands – but they are disputed with New Caledonia). Anyway, Inyeug Island (to give Mystery Island its proper name)…
The theme for our travel pics this week is P for Pacific Islands. For Wednesday, we travel to Espiritu Santo, in Vanuatu. We were near a village called ‘Hog Harbour’ on the island when we took this picture of our ship, the Royal Caribbean Legend of the Seas, as it lay at anchor in Champagne…
The theme for our travel pics this week is P for Pacific Islands. For Tuesday, an unusual image – this one is at Port Vila, in Vanuatu. When Tropical Cyclone Pam lashed Vanuatu in March 2015, it devastated the island nation with winds of more than 250km/hr – and the capital Port Vila, didn’t escape.…
