Confessions of a Cruise Chick - Part 1

G'day! Bonjour! Bulla!

I'm back from cruising around the South Pacific and Fiji! The three different greetings above were used at different ports of call and were used a LOT. What a wonderful experience I had with my 5 travelling companions. Would you like to see some photos? I will try and stick to my absolute favourites so this post doesn't get too photo heavy.


Day 1 - Sydney Harbour

After flying to Sydney from Brisbane, I was picked up at the airport in a private vehicle. Four of my travelling companions were already in the car and we were to meet up with one more lady at the cruise terminal.


From left to right - my sister Denise, me, my mum Maree, my step-mother Jenny, my step-Aunty Chris. Still waiting to meet up with Peta-Marie

Drinks in hand and ready to set sail! We found Peta-Marie - phew!

And we are off - backing out of the Harbour with a great view of the Sydney Opera House 


First port of Call - Noumea, New Caledonia

New Caledonia is a French Territory hence the Bonjour at the beginning of my post as French is the predominant language. The currency is the Pacific Franc.

Another stunning view


Lifou, Loyalty Islands

Check out that water!

yep, another selfie lol

on the tender to go back to the ship

that ship is huge!!



I hope I haven't bored you to tears! 

Now, as my title suggests there may be some confessions. Hmmm, not really. I can think of one off the top of my head. My sister and I started drinking alcohol at 10am on one of the sea days. Naughty!!!

Until the next installment.... See ya xx
