Our departure from beautiful Darling Harbour
First stop- Hideaway Island. After much negotiation on price and logistics we ended up booking a taxi driver for a half day and he took us out to this beautiful island about 20 mins drive from were the ship was anchored at port. It is a tiny island with a little resort on it and its supposedly known for its snorkelling. We had a great time hanging there for the day.
All kitted up ready for our first snorkelling adventure...
There was lots of beautiful things to see. Really brightly coloured fish, but the camera just doesn't do it justice. The fish aren't shy either... they come right up and touch you- even when you don't want them to... haha!
This was one of Josh's favourite finds- a little underwater post box. He loves the water so much, i think he just got caught up in the possibility of living under the sea... there was a cute little house next to this too but the photos didn't turn out too well.
Next stop- Lifou. Another great day out in the sun and snorkelling among some beautiful sea life. I put these pictures in, in memory of Kim and I enjoying the underwater camera at nan and pop whetton's place last year. Plus- i just think they are hillarious! For those of you who have never tried- it is REALLY hard to pose for a shot while under water.... (back me up Kim). Plus- I had flippers on.... but still- they are so funny! I look so unco and its mostly because I was trying to wave. (Mostly) :)
These next shots are from our third port day at Isle of Pines. AMAZING!!! This was my favourite spot. Although it got colder as we were getting further South. But the Island is spectacular. I think I will visit again during summer... LOVED IT!
We celebrated my 26th Birthday on the cruise. We booked into a really nice restaurant which was on board for something a little different to the buffet we got every other meal. This was just before going out- our cute little Philippino friend Roel, made me a nice birthday sign and balloons which hung outside our cabin door when I woke up on my birthday.
We loved the cruise. Mostly- just having time to relax and enjoy some of the worlds most beautiful spots. Definitely have to do it again!
