Keep thinking we might do another but it's getting the visas for India and China that we dread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushka Posted March 12, 2014 #661 Share Posted March 12, 2014 It's a busy time in Melbourne and can't cope with 2 mega ships. Not to worry, this time at least there were very regular free shuttles into the CBD. Really in the end it didn't matter. Departing now. QM2 won the horn battle with X by a mile. :p[IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/12/ge4ajehe.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats2010 Posted March 12, 2014 #662 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Thanks for the photo of this monster :eek:. I think that the best ship deserves that best place in harbour :cool: God knows what was the reason for this decision ... bribery and corruption?

Pushka Posted March 13, 2014 #663 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Just arrived into Sydney. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/14/ruzaby8y.jpg[/IMG] Portside staterooms are a tad noisy at 6am on port days. Sydney's famous Doyle's restaurant is just below and the Bridge, to the right. I'm climbing it later today. Edited March 13, 2014 by Pushka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
