Leant something interesting. Paying extra to express post a parcel from here only covers the section from Sydney to the “first port of call” - in this case Vancouver. Parcel then sat in Vancouver for 2 weeks before finally being delivered today 🙄 Won’t do that again. Will just continue to send parcels standard.

Watched a new to Netflix (Australia) doco. Finke - there and back. Gutsy 230km annual motorbike race on a dry river bed in Central Australia (near Alice Springs). I thought ski resorts kept orthopaedic surgeons busy… this race is next level. Filmed in 2018, if you haven’t seen it, and you like adventure sport docos, I recommend.

Royal Carribbean’s World Cruise on Serenade of the Seas is due to leave Bay of Islands, New Zealand tomorrow evening and arrive in Sydney on Friday. Just curious, will it pass by close to any of our coastline on the way to Sydney? (I’ve not paid attention to ship routes Sydney to NZ or vice versa before).

Had a rare day in the city today, I don’t go in very often these days. We visited the Banksy exhibition on at the Town Hall, then walked over to the Art Gallery of NSW - my friend hadnt seen the “new” extension, then a walk through the Botanical Gardens and down to Circular Quay. Ship of the day was the Carnival Splendour (so need to take a photo to post here). A very pleasant day out with nice weather.

@BonTexasNY all the best for your surgery & I hope your daughter’s symptoms stabilise. I have a close friend with MS who has infusions twice a year. Great that your daughter has such a positive outlook. @firefly333 all the best for your skin checks. DH lost his mum to melanoma at 15 & as someone who goes through what you do, I appreciate the advances in skin cancer checks & treatments. @Sunshine3601 hope the meds kick in for you ear and you can enjoy the cruise & cocktails to the fullest.

Another place that cruise ships “spoil” the view is the lovely indoor/outdoor cafe at the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) -
Virgin Removes 24/25 Oz Cruises?
aussielozzie18 replied to springaussie's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
Yes, I thought it was going to be a party hard ship for the beautiful 20/30 yo Instagram crowd but instead there were plenty of cruisers in the 50+ age range enjoying a new modern cruise ship with no kids on board and really good food & service. -
Virgin Removes 24/25 Oz Cruises?
aussielozzie18 replied to springaussie's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
My DD used to work for VV gyms and she noticed via social media that quite a few of her former work colleagues were on the same cruise that I was on. Pure speculation but it’s possible that Virgin gym staff were also offered cruise discounts/freebies. -
