Adelaide to New Delhi India via KL Sunday 20 Oct 2013

Posted on 21/10/2013 by Greg
We got to the airport at about 7:15am, so we had about 2hrs in the Qantas Lounge before our flight left at 9.55am.
Checking in was a bit strange. We had to have our carry on baggage under 7kg. To do this we had to take out our cameras, tablets and kindles, reweigh the bags and then put it all back in the bag.    Apparently thats OK.
When we went through customs and immigration, the Indian guy at our counter said that we would be in for a bit of culture shock when we first arrived in India. He said the big cities were very different but the country side was much more relaxed. Continue reading →

Port Victoria SA 23 & 24 Sept 2013

Posted on 25/09/2013 by Greg
Monday 23 September2013  Port Victoria Yorke Peninsula SA
We were woken this morning at around 5:10am with what I thought was the sound of a train coming straight at us. It turned out to be a howling Nor-Westerly. Deb was first up and out of the van to rescue our table chairs and fishing gear. The wind was soooo strong, it took some effort just to open the van door! Anyway, we quickly had  everything loose in the car and we retreated back to the van and the warmth of our bed. Continue reading →

We woke at about 6:30, Aiko slept on our bed and she decided it was time to get up, or at least be taken out side. Reluctantly I got up and took her outside, it was a beautiful morning, still with blue skies and the warmth of the day was just starting to kick in. Continue reading →

India – We are getting ready for you

Posted on 20/09/2013 by Greg

Everything is booked for our India adventure in October / November, just waiting for the paperwork to come through.

As usual for all our more exotic holidays, we booked into to see “The Travel Bug”, our travel doctor. We went and saw them the other day, both of us expecting to just have to get 1 or 2 booster shots. But how we were mistaken. We always take their advice and get what they suggest. Continue reading →

Monday 15 July 2013 Our Last Day at Sea

Happy birthday to our niece Tara, we hope you’re enjoying your first birthday overseas and that London has turned on a great day for you.

After breakfast 8 of us went to join in on a behind the scenes tour of the ship (you had to be over 8, so the youngest 3 went to kids club for the morning). It was a great way to spend almost 3 hours. Continue reading →

Carnival Spirit Sunday 14 July 2013 At Sea still

Posted on 15/07/2013 by Greg
We had another lazy start to the day, we all met up for breakfast at about 9:15 (Dante andTessa were having their second breakfasts 🙂 ). We had another very leisurely breakfast. The serving staff seemed a bit under pressure this morning for some reason , and 1 or 2 of them weren’t coping very well.  But as we left their smiles seemed to be breaking through again. (Maybe they were glad to see the back of us for the morning.) Continue reading →

Carnival Spirit Saturday 13 July 2013 At Sea – cruising somewhere south of Noumea.

Posted on 14/07/2013 by Greg
 We had a very lazy morning. Sea days mean they run a brunch instead of breakfat in the main dining room. Sarah, Dante, Tessa and Sophia were up early for breakfast on the Lido, as were Kieran, Ella and Ethan. Carly was still feeling the effects of being “Gluttened” yesterday. So Deb and I met Ben down at the dining room around 9:15 for a very relaxed and unhurried breakfast. Around 10:30 we managed to drag oursleves away and start the day. Deb went back to out cabin to read the papers on her iPad, Ben went back to his room and I went up to the Lido to catch up with the others.  Continue reading →

Thursday 11 July 2013 Mystery Island Vanuatu
Happy birthday Desi, our youngest niece is 7 🙂
We got the day started with what has become our usual Island hopping day routine, breakfast at 7:45, up to Deck 9 at 8:45 to get our Tender number, back to our room to get our stuff and then down to Deck 1 to get the tender over to the island. Somehow Ben and Sarah and their 3 children can get all that done quicker than Deb and I, go figure huh!! Continue reading →
