Harrison and Lilly thought this bull, made out of corned beef tins, was pretty impressive.
We discovered it at the Tjibaou cultural centre in Noumea.

Bonjour!
We received a wonderful welcome when we arrived in Noumea this afternoon.
Liz and Emma both had anti-seasickness injections, and were feeling alot better, which made the
tours of Noumea much more enjoyable.
In case you're wondering, the injections started working after about 30 minutes. They lasted 8
hours, but the doctor gave Liz some tablets to take as well. The total cost is about $90 which we
can claim on travel insurance.
We love kids club
One of the cool things about cruising is the kids club. Lilly loves kids club and so do we. She has
fun there during the day while we can go off and have fun ourselves 🙂
Isn't the face paint cute!
Do I look bald in this?
That wind would almost blow your hair off!
“Blow cruel winds”
It's howling a gale up on the top deck.
Harrison and Lilly woke up really early, so Dad took them up on deck while Liz and I slept in.
They thought it was great that the wind was almost blowing them over.
Both Liz and Emma are still feeling seasick. Emma's going to get a seasickness injection this
morning, which is supposed to work wonders.
Liz is comparing it to pregnancy: "You only remember the good bits". I think I might try and
convince her to get the injection too.
We get inside the New Caledonia reef in about 5 hours time – so the big waves should abate
then.
Dad and I almost won a "name that tune" competition in the Piano Bar last night.
And I almost sang at the Karaoke bar. Maybe next time 🙂
More photos and news soon!

Looking back
Here's the view over the stern looking back west towards Australia.
We're midway between Brisbane and Noumea – about 400 nautical miles from either city. We arrive
tomorrow afternoon.
I love watching the wash behind us!
Any port in a storm
The library is a great place to sit and watch the world go by as the winds rage outside.
