I think we'll leave the kids in the kids club, and settle down here. What do you think, Lizzie?

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.

That wind would almost blow your hair off!

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!

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!

The library is a great place to sit and watch the world go by as the winds rage outside.
