Dag 7
Sunday
12. februar 2022, Norfolk Island ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
Our last full day and the sun is out. No mist over the airport so those people who have been stranded here for four days can now leave.
We leave tomorrow.
Today the Glass bottom boat Tour has been cancelled as the waves are still crashing over the reef into the lagoon.
Went to the Convict Settlement instead to witness the horrors of convict life. Followed by a walk through the Cemetery.
Our last outing of the week was a traditional dinner down at No. 9 Quality Row. Rooms were not restored where we ate. It was called the ‘Annex’. Nearly had a full moon.Les mer

Debris about but sunshine at last

Our Glass bottom boat tour has been put off until Sunday as there is still quite a lot of wind. Huge waves.
Have a free morning instead.
Went to the Pitcairn Settler’s Village. Well worth the trip.

Dag 5
Tropical Cyclone
10. februar 2022, Norfolk Island ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Quite exciting evening. Island battened down for torrential rain and wind.
We had to boil water and fill containers or whatever we could find because the water supply is run by electricity. Once that goes it’s bedlam.
Wind was fierce all night plus rain. All safe and tucked up in our units.
Some parts of the Island lost power. Not us.
Huge waves at Kingston. Hurled huge rocks up and over the car park.Waves covered the huge winch used to bring cargo onto the shore.Les mer

Dag 5
Raining
10. februar 2022, Norfolk Island ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Today we are meant to be doing a Garden Tour.
Very wet under foot. The garden we went to had lots of interesting things other than trees and bushes etc. Fruit trees, creepers, exotic trees and a maze for kids plus a large one for adults.
Spiders everywhere so we girls picked a tall person to walk behind. Golden Orb Spiders I think. Webs were humongous.
Next was a restricted visit to the Botanic Gardens and morning tea. Still drizzling with rain.
Program change again. After lunch we went to the Cyclorama. More history of Norfolk Is and Pitcairn Is. Extremely well done.
Dinner at our Resort. Our cooks are as good as any others on the Island.Les mer

Rain and fog
9. februar 2022, Norfolk Island ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
There are a number of people here who have been stranded because the planes cannot arrive from the mainland to pick them up. We were lucky to arrive before the cyclone affected the weather and plane activities.
Still hot and humid.
Visited a goat farm. They make cheeses and soaps. The owner and his family also make all types of pottery, jewellery and paintings.
Went to see the T shirt printer then the chocolate and Lolly shop. Had ice cream and milkshakes.
Afternoon was free so had coffee and then just relaxed.
Tonight’s dinner is at the Homestead.
Our bookings were mixed up so half the group were fitted in to eat while the rest of us went for drinks at the Bowling Club.
By the time we were able to go back to the Homestead for our meal we were well primed.
Everyone was fed but a very late night.Les mer

Dag 3
Progressive dinner
8. februar 2022, Norfolk Island ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
We are eating at 3 local homes tonight .
1st house was like a House and Garden home.
Sherry and nibbles plus a run down on the owner’s lives here on NI. Everyone is related to the Christian Family from Pitcairn/Bounty and everyone works so hard.
Next house was main meal. The ladies from both these homes were sisters.
Next was dessert and the lady was a stand up comedian. She assured us that she was descended from Fletcher Christian and a Tahitian princess. Also kept telling us how ‘royal’ she was. Very funny.Les mer
