After our 9 day long cruise, we arrived back to Sydney, Australia on December 8th. We arrived in the morning and my boyfriend, my dad and I got up at 5 am to watch the arrival from up on deck. Arriving at Sydney by ship while the sun rises is not something you do every…
When we sailed away from Lifou, we had two days at sea before we got back to Australia. I was almost as bad at taking photos during these days at sea as I was on the first two days of this cruise. One morning though, I decided to go on a little photography stroll. I…
