The Kimberley Coast has the highest tides in the Southern Hemisphere. The difference between high and low tides is up to around 10 meters (32 feet). Here are pictures taken from our veranda on deck 5. Since you mention odd tides: did you know that in Mobile Bay there is only 1 high day per day? Strange but true. [And a shock to a young teacher 'from away' who marked the answer '1' wrong, only to be schooled by her pupil!] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mysty Posted March 13 Author #2427 Share Posted March 13 Today is a sea day. We're going to a wine tasting this afternoon. This is a pricey one. $300 each. I don't think we would have the chance to taste these in our real world. 😅 We're also having our next special request dinner tonight. Nasir Campur Bali. We'll see how this one goes. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted March 13 #2430 Share Posted March 13 A terrific list there, Mysty. I have - very many years ago when prices were less high - had a couple of these great wines, but to do a compare and contrast will be great. And hopefully prepare you for coming across a dragon in the next few days? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted March 13 #2432 Share Posted March 13 Mysty, your adventure is so fun to read. I have a question. Does it seem like you have been away for almost 3 full months? Does the time go pretty quickly? Just curious really and you still have many more weeks to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be going by in a heartbeat. 3 months has seemed like 3 weeks. We have enjoyed our time and have taken more leisurely days than on other adventures. We're looking forward to the next almost half. 😁 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The favourite was Chateau l'Evangile 2012 priced at $245. Voted #1 by 10 out of 12 people. The most expensive was Chateau Cheval Blanc at $820. No one voted for that one in the top 3. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mysty Posted March 15 Author #2438 Share Posted March 15 Today we were in Lembar, Lombok, Indonesia. Lombok is one of the thousands of islands in Indonesia and it lies due east of Bali. We took an excursion called Lombok's Cultural Heritage. We rode from the pier in air conditioned buses for about an hour to the arrival at Mayura Water Palace. Here are photos..... Next we visited NTB Museum..... Last stop was a crafts market. Tomorrow we are in Bali, Indonesia. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the evening many years back when my husband grabbed a bottle from our winecellar to go with our casual Friday evening tapa style dinner, you know, just bread, cheese, salami etc. Red wine went down very well. Then I saw the label... He managed to lay his hands on the bottle of Cheval Blanc we had been presented with as a treat. Had planned to keep that for a special occasion to go with a special meal. Oh well... taught us that life is too short to drink mediocre wine🤣 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drron29 Posted March 17 #2447 Share Posted March 17 And thank you very much @mysty. Enjoyed meeting you and your husband. A very nice lunch in the MDR. Was also a lovely touch meeting Bippin and Pisa 2 of my favourites from our last Muse cruise. May you have fair weather and seas for the rest of your world cruise. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
