Late Report.

[Russell21]

A couple of weeks late but I just remembered that I hadn't posted that the new wharf at Lifou is about 1/3 done. I had thought that they would extend the existing but they are putting in a whole extra wharf to the right, as you are coming to shore, side of the existing wharf.

Yeah the bigger ships stopped calling there as the original wharf is too small to handle the number of tenders required to land and return the larger numbers of cruisers.

Cheers, I will check out how the progress is going in November.

And Lifou will become swamped with cruisers.

 

It was on the edge of being overcrowded on Rhapsody of the Seas but I'd hate to go there on something as big as Ovation of the Seas.

No big deal if you can get off early or late.

It was more the number of people on the beach. It was jam-packed.

I just swim / snorkel, so do not need any beach area. I drop my towel and such by a tree and out I go, swim for a couple of hours and then head back to the ship.
