Cruising to Fiji

 Seemed a long time in the lead up but finally had arrived.

Warren did a parkrun and was home in time to say goidbye to Lucy as she went off for her two week holiday. We hadnt heard the car pull up but heard the car door shut, went to get Lucy from back yard but she had already gone through the house and was in the front seat of Larelles car. No worries then about her for the time we are away.

They have taught her to swim! She was always afraid of the water, the smallest wave would have her jumping back away from it. Then she learnt that she liked going in the water with the other dogs but she would only go in up to her chest and walk. Glen, dog sitter, took her into the water and taught her how to swim. They are brilliant dog sitters.

We drove to the parking fir the cruise and jumped on board tge bus, it was about a 20 minute trip on the bus. A new terminal has been built since our last cruise making it closer to the river enterance and of course further from the parking. 

Then it was line up and shuffle along, photos then customs and finalky border force and then on to the ship, we were sent to the right along the deck, had to check in at our muster station, then we could find our room. We are mid ship, quite close to a set of lifts. The boat is 290 metres long, dining is at the back end and the entertainment is at the front. 

Jigging/walking track is on deck 7, unfortunately there is a smoking area on one side fir apprix 50 metres, not too good when trying to exercise.

Our dinner time is 5pm and alternate between the three restaurants or we can go to the Pantry for a buffet.
