Rare mysty Posted February 8, 2019 Author #751 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Today we are in Cairns. The day started grey and drizzly. Veranda rail.... Lots of fog and mist..... We needed more sunscreen and set off for the mall about 15 minutes walk from the ship. Things started to really heat up as our walk progressed. From along the way..... On our way back to the ship we saw the Lagoon where people go to cool off..... I was sorely tempted to wade in fully clothed. By this point Myster and I were dredged in sweat. Hot as blazes here! We ran into a lovely couple from the ship and had lunch at Tha Fish. Delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCCruiser57 Posted February 9, 2019 #752 Share Posted February 9, 2019 It’s amazing the number of WCs that have 1,000 or more days. One person has over 1,700 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was delicious! Of course this should have read ..."Starting with a glass of Monopole, with a yogurt and fruit offering,......." Did someone mention alcohol soaked passengers? 🙂 Thanks for the info DCC! Amazing number of days! Today is another sea day en route to Darwin. Weather is hot and humid and last night very rainy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mysty Posted February 12, 2019 Author #755 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Beautiful pic Turtle! Myster and I did a walk about in Darwin today. We took the City Walk just outside the Darwin Cruise Terminal..... We ended at the black dot on the next map..... We hit Number 2, Christ Church Cathedral (the original was built in 1902 and devastated by Cyclone Tracy). This one was built in 1975 incorporating part of the ruins of the original structure..... Next we found Number 1, The Tree of Knowledge/The Beagle Bells. The Banyan tree is a species revered by Buddhists worldwide as the "Tree of Knowledge"...... Adjacent to the tree is the HMS Beagle Ship Bell Chime - a musical instrument linking the City of Darwin to Charles Darwin's voyage on the HMS Beagle from 1831-1836..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlemichael Posted February 12, 2019 #756 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Great pictures Mysty! Looks like you had an interesting exploring day. We were lucky to have good weather as it can be hit and miss at this time of the year. It was hot of course but no rain to speak of. We got a local bus out to the Museum and Art Gallery. It is small but very good with many fine Aboriginal works. So now it is goodbye Australia! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCCruiser57 Posted February 13, 2019 #760 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Not sure about the exact number, but probably around 12-15 based on the names recognized. In Bali 41 folks are disembarking and 56 are getting on. Thus we will have about 310 on board. The suites are full as ther are about 60 solo guest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mysty Posted February 13, 2019 Author #761 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Valentine's Day at sea on our way to Komodo Island tomorrow. Jumbo red hearts are blooming everywhere!

Rare drron29 Posted February 14, 2019 #763 Share Posted February 14, 2019 And the 2020 World Cruise on the Whisper has sold out.One of our trivia team on the Muse got the last suite.

Rare mysty Posted February 14, 2019 Author #764 Share Posted February 14, 2019 We are dodging a bullet by escaping winter at home. Here is a picture our next door neighbour sent us this morning. A view from her front door..... Today is a sea day. This morning we sailed through the Rote Strait. View from the starboard side..... View from the port side..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mysty Posted February 14, 2019 Author #765 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Lovely rose from last evening..... Today we are anchored off Komodo Island. Soon the first group of intrepid Dragon hunters will sent off on their quest. Myster will brave the wilds on the 9:30 am departure and he will take the camera. I desperately want both him and the camera back at the end of the excursion. 🙂 Some pictures from the starboard side at anchor..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeforthree Posted February 16, 2019 #770 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Glad you enjoyed it Mysty and Turtle. It was as good as I remembered it! Lois, the pictures do not do the food justice! Great spices and fresh ingredients with our own work making the food...doesn’t get much better than that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mysty Posted February 19, 2019 Author #773 Share Posted February 19, 2019 We took the shuttle bus to the drop off near Four Points by Sheraton and made our way to the Central Market. The sky was looking very threatening. We wandered through the Fish Market and then moved on to the Central Market..... Chicken heads..... Harbor Mall Entrance..... Then the skies opened and we ran for the shuttle bus. Hopefully the weather clears as there is a planned Dinner Under the Stars on the pool deck tonight.

turtlemichael Posted February 19, 2019 #775 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) A very nice dinner on deck after sailing out of Sandakan. And the rain held off. But can someone tell me why the officers at such events always all sit together on their own table? Same happens at a table in La Terrazza at lunchtime every day. To me, it is a disappointment that officers are not more visible and do not mingle on Silversea in comparison with my experiences on Regent and Seabourn. It was still a nice night.
