Day 12 Aloha HONOLULU

The least said about last night, the better. The seas were, I believe, the worst to date in the Queen Victoria 2019 World Voyage so far, as severe storms lashed accross parts of Hawaii. Today, approaching Honolulu has been glorious, the rain, forecast, having fallen prematurely the day before. Yes, yesterday afternoon and evening was dismal and bumpy to the point of being funny!

The beauty of travelling ever westard are the constant extra hours to get up in the morning. Being “full of the joys of Spring”, at 6am certainly is a welcome novelty! However, as I have found out, staying up late is hard work, and last night, I had to forego the superb party in the Queens Room, which, had I not been affected by “mal de mer”, I would have enjoyed thoroughly. However, these are not rare occasions; there’s bound to be one or two more before I disembark at Sydney.

Back to right now; the weather seems ideal for one of those whale watching excursions, you know, those trips where there is never a whale to be seen! I shall write about this later. In the meantime, in a separate blog, a few pictures.

All the best, David.
