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.…
The theme for our travel pics this week is P for Pacific Islands. To start the week off, an island we’ve only been to once – but which we fell in love with, instantly … the Isle of Pines, in New Caledonia. This island is just plain gorgeous, with excellent snorkelling, and swimming, and breathtaking…
The theme for our travel pics this week is O for On-board Images. We’ll wrap up the week with an image that is almost a cliche .. but I couldn’t resist, because it was just so wonderful to sit at the stern of the Pacific Dawn and watch the waves wash away all our stresses.…
The theme for our travel pics this week is O for On-board Images. This picture is from our first-ever cruise in 2011, and unfortunately, the image size (and resolution) is not the best. But it’s still gobsmacking to see the detail, the work, the artistry that has gone into this fruit carving. It was onboard the…
The theme for our travel pics this week is O for On-board Images. Now here’s a familiar scene! This is where I, my wife, my sisters, and their travelling companions spent a lot of time in April last year. No, not because it was a bar – but because it was also a cafe, serving…
