Sydney, Australia
2015年1月31日, Tasman Sea ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
January 29th and 30th.
We spent the past 2 days in Sydney. It is a very vibrant city teeming with people. The Sydney harbor is the largest natural harbor in the world and quite breathtaking. We sailed in early in the morning through the headrocks that protect the harbor. The intricate small bays and lush hills greeted us as we moved toward our docking area. As we progressed, we saw what is probably one of the most iconic pieces of architecture in the world-and there was a collective gasp from everyone. No matter how many photos of the Sydney Opera House you've seen, it still takes your breath away when it comes into view. We were fortunate enough to attend an opera there preceded by an unexpected harbor tour. The weather could not have been better (we hear that is not always the case) which allowed us to explore the city and botanical gardens extensively. We also ferried to Manly Beach, which has some very dramatic waves and is a big draw for surfers. Australia's rugged, natural beauty is incredible with carved rocks and crashing surf.

We enjoyed our time here, feeling quite overwhelmed that we were in Australia!もっと詳しく

The Tasman Sea
2015年1月31日, Tasman Sea ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F
As we left Sydney Harbor yesterday, the captain used some words like "pitching" and "groaning" to describe our upcoming journey through the Tasman Sea on our way to Melbourne. So we quickly finished our Proseco (first things first) and battened down the hatches. The seas last night were 20' swells and we are going through a gale today. Talk about drama! It is a challenge to do almost anything - it's hard to keep your food on your plate much less to try to walk anywhere. There are crashing sounds at times that we simply can't figure out! We are all feeling fine except for being a little (or a lot) sleepy. Jeff has been taking some video so we can share it when we get home.もっと詳しく

February 1
Melbourne is a very cosmopolitan city with many eighteenth century buildings adjacent to modern, dramatic architecture. Multiethnic, it has a peculiar claim of having the third largest Greek population of any city in the world. Even on a Sunday, it was full of activity with coffee houses, pizzerias and chocolateries being very popular. They have an extensive tram system and the central loop with its quaint 100 year-old tram cars is free for use.

We all agreed we had the best pizza we had in our lives at a streetside pizzeria. For those who are counting, we walked 30,000 steps today (almost 15 miles).もっと詳しく

Adelaide is a smallish city compared to Melbourne and Sydney. About 1.5 million people. It has a mix of old and new buildings, the older ones being primarily from the gold rush days. There was a very lively market there that had a beautiful array of fresh vegetables, cheeses and breads. We had some Algerian food that was a treat.
We are still enjoying great weather and good times.もっと詳しく

Port Lincoln, Australia
2015年2月4日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F
Port Lincoln is primarily known for it's tuna business and oysters. Jeff was brave enough to have a big plate of their famous oysters at 9:30 in the morning! The landscape is more like what I expected Australia to look like with it's sandy, scrubby hillsides. It was a short stop of about 4 hours so we all took the opportunity to walk about 6 miles on ground that wasn't moving.
The evening brought a special treat. If you give the chef 24 hours notice, they will prepare any type of meal you would like. Since we have enjoyed so many ethnic and local meals on the ship, we asked for a Philippine meal-it was fantastic! And served by our favorite Philippine waiter.
We are now sailing through the Great Australian Bight which is an expanse of windswept sea that is known for it's roughness. It is calm as can be and we are happy! The captain seems to be making a beeline west to get past it as quick as possible. We have heard that the temperature at our next port, Perth, is 101 degrees. Not a complaint, just an observation!
The second photo below was in the "bait" section of the convenience store.
It looks like Sara Lee sells different types of things here in southern Australia than in Woodstock!もっと詳しく

Fremantle, Australia
2015年2月8日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 97 °F
Our final stop in Australia was in Fremantle/Perth, which has the distinction of being the most remote city in the world. Having said that, Fremantle certainly makes the most of what it's got. It is considered a suburb of Perth, but it held our attention for 24 hours without us feeling as though we wanted to make the train trip into Perth. It had some very lively night life, "cappuccino" row and a very interesting maritime museum. On the advice of one of our favorite staff members Guarev, we had some of the best Indian food ever which helped to negate the worst fish and chips ever. Somewhere in between, we had a pizza with big chunks of pumpkin on it. Who knew?
The first photo below is Mr. Napkinhead (Jim) who celebrated his birthday yesterday in a typical fun fashion. We are not subtle.

The bartender in the photo is Albert, who is always at the ready with a drink when we come back to the ship parched.

We are now going to be headed north in the Indian Ocean with a following sea, leaving the organized and English-speaking Australia for our first stop in Indonesia which is Bali. We enjoy looking at the Southern Cross in the night sky and are headed into much warmer temperatures as we get closer to the Equator.もっと詳しく

Benoa, Bali, Indonesia
I’m not sure what I expected from Bali, but the magic of Bali enveloped all of us. The Balinese are Hindu and there are over 1,000 temples on the island that ascribe to their beliefs. Each temple is an individual work of art. I was aware that there would be a great deal of Asian and Hindu inspired decorative elements and architecture in Bali, but I had no idea how pervasive it would be. Literally every family housing compound, hamlet (multiple family houses) and villages (the group of hamlets) are covered with decorative elements and ornament. The roof peaks, the window surrounds, the gates, the fence posts, etc. are all heavily ornamented. Also, each house has it’s own shrine complete with “offerings”, fringes, statuary and fabrics. These fabrics (poleng), as well as curbs, light posts and other various public items sport alternating black and white patterning, representing the balance between good and evil.
The Balinese believe that every living thing has a spirit and will even pray to a flower as they pick it. Each day an offering is made to the spirits – it is a small leaf plate containing flowers, food, candy, etc. and it is placed at the entrance to the house or place of business.
We visited 2 temples, a traditional, rustic inn at the edge of a rice paddy and a local woman’s house. We wound up our trip at an orchid garden. We all agreed that if all we had done was take the bus trip, we would have been happy even if we didn’t make any stops. It was truly a sensory overload and my head is still whirling with the exotic nature of Bali, especially after the ship hosted a group of Balinese musicians and dancers before we sailed.
The first photo is of the inn along the rice paddy where we had lunch.
We knew that when we left Australia, all bets were off as far as seeing familiar,
Western things. It is an amazing culture shock.
Often before we leave a port, there are local people who come on board and put on a show. They are generally very good and we appreciate the work that goes into their performances.もっと詳しく

Semarang City, Java, Indonesia
2015年2月14日, インドネシア ⋅ ☁️ 79 °F
Happy Valentine's Day!
Today we visited the country of Java, specifically the Borobudur Temple, which is the largest Buddhist Temple in the world. It was built of lava rock in the 9th century and was designed to blend the Javanese architecture with the Buddhist concept of achieving Nirvana. There are 504 Buddha statues as part of the temple. There is evidence the temple was abandoned in the 14th century during the decline of Hindu kingdoms in Java and the conversion to Islam.
There are a number of active volcanos on Java, and it is thought that the temple was covered in ash and was undiscovered until 1814 and was then restored between 1975 and 1982. By the way, there seem to be volcanoes erupting either right before we get somewhere or right after we leave. I hope our luck continues to hold out!
In any case, the temple was an incredible sight if only in the sheer massiveness of the building. The over 2000 carved panels serve to tell/teach a story as one walks around the temple and up the levels.
The drive to the temple through Java’s cities, villages and coutryside was quite hair-raising at times, but fascinating in the variety of sights along the way. Our bus had a police escort which meant we could drive right up the middle of a narrow 2 lane road with car careening to the shoulders to avoid hitting us. This must happen fairly frequently as it was quite a long ride to the temple and you have a limited amount of time to see it.
It is getting quite steamy as we approach the Equator again – not a complaint, just an observation. The Java Sea remains extremely calm – it almost doesn’t even feel like we are on a ship.
We have learned to eat an Indonesian hot sauce called samba olec. It is quite hot and we have enjoyed putting it on many things here on the ship. When we were out to lunch in Java, Jeff and I spied a bowl of samba olec and piled it on our plates. WOW! It was a lot hotter and took a lot of rice and water to put the fire in our mouths out!
Nancy and I are giving a Valentine's kiss to our dear Emerson, the host at the main dining room. His main job for us was catching us as we came back from a bathroom visit during dinner and escorting us back to our table. With the amount of wine they pour for us, we didn't have a clue where our table was once we left it.もっと詳しく

Brunei was a very interesting stop. As we sailed near the coast, we were reminded of the economic base of Brunei – oil. There were dozens of drilling platforms and many boats affiliated with them.
The city is extremely opulent while also being rather spare. Brunei is one of only two total monarchies in the world. It is a little hard to get a real feeling about the Sultan, but he does have some pretty specific rules that are to be followed. One is Sharia, which was instituted in May. We attended a dinner at the Brunei Polo Club that was very nice. We were offered an array of delicious fruit juices as there is no alcohol served in Brunei. That was a change! There were quite a few musicians that played a very haunting and mystical song as they greeted us for dinner.
There is a “stilt village” that is on the waterfront in Brunei. It appears somewhat ramshackle at first, but it is actually quite nicely restored, with the owners having an interest in preserving the village as it had been.
There is a Mosque that was built by the current Sultan.
Whenever we come back from a particularly long day out and about, the crew is always there to greet us with a "welcome back" sign.もっと詳しく

February 18.
Today’s port was a short visit to a city on the northeast coast of Borneo Island in Malaysia that faces the South China Sea. The start of the Chinese New Year was last night so there was a certain energy about the city. We visited the market here and it made the markets in French Polynesia look like Wegman’s. It is a jumble of some of the most unusual looking (and smelling) foods we have ever seen! Aside from all the wonderful vegetables, there are exotic bottled items, brightly colored baked goods and butchered meats that I don’t even want to know about! I drew the line when it came to walking down a meat aisle that had more blood on the floor than I cared to subject my shoes to.
We walked through a mall and discovered that electronics, hair salons and “Hello Kitty” stores seemed to be the most popular. It was crowded and we thought that we might start feeling prepared for Hong Kong, which we will be visiting in 4 days.
We are impressed that almost every port has local singers and dancers awaiting us. There is a period of time after we dock that local officials come on board and clear us through customs before we can disembark. The music is always interesting and puts us in the mood of the local flavor. It is nice that we are a small ship in that we don’t overwhelm any port we are docked at and we rarely see another cruise ship in the same port.
The first photo is of some interesting items in the market and the second is the shopping mall – can you guess what the lucky color is for the Chinese New Year? The third photo is showing a little catching up with the news!もっと詳しく
