We've had a one week whirlwind visit to the Sunshine Coast and we want to say a huge thank you to all our friends who supported us (we truly feel that we belong to a village β€οΈ) and to the few we were able to catch up with it was lovely. The week was packed with medicals (with no surprise results π). We no sooner arrived and we were off again.
We are now in Auckland.

Hope everything is ok with you both. Xx
Safe travels guys
Circumnavigation of Australia
Some guests knew this would be their only opportunity to fly to the other side of the world and experience the land down under. For others this was the perfect taste test to plan a return trip. For us it was to be a constant reminder, through the eyes of guests to our country, of how much our country has to offer and how much we have to be grateful for.
From the diversity that each destination offered, to how clean our country is, to how welcoming and friendly the locals were, it made us proud to be Australian.

Thanks for reminding us of that Australia is a remarkable country of diversity and natural wonder and how genuinely warm, welcoming and engaging Australians π€© We should all be proud always π¦πΊ
Theres that glass of wine again
You two are great ambassadors for our amazing country
It was an amazing cruise indeed. We love Australia and we will see more of it for the next 30 days on our own. Thanks for your wonderful lectures, great learning with a touch of humour.
We truly enjoyed your presentations and group fora! Looking forward to seeing you both again!
Wonderful Where are you off to next ?
We left Melbourne for Burnie, Tasmania but didn't quite make it. We arrived outside the harbour to be advised by the port authorities that the wind and tide conditions made it unsafe for Viking Orion to dock. We waited to see if conditions improved but they only became worse. So we turned to tail/stern and headed for our next destination Eden New South Wales, where the captain was able to secure a berth a day early. We overnighted in Eden which is a quaint, quiet and pretty town, with a population of just 4000. The weather was lovely and the guests enjoyed the layback feel of the town.
As if to make up for the missed port the culinary team whipped up a sensational Chocolate By Death for lunch on our now early sea day and the Bar Manager arranged Port tastings as an accompaniment. Geoff had been called in at the last minute to present another lecture.
With Eden ticked off we are now heading to Sydney for disembarkation from our Circumnavigation of Australia. It's been a wonderful itinerary that we would highly recommend.

Looking forward to doing this cruise again at the end of the year.
We especially enjoyed Eden and also the Chocolate Treats. Too many to pick from. π€
Viking really knows how to pivot under less than optimal conditions, still giving the passengers a stellar experience. We’re off again soon to do the Bankok, Bali, and Beyond cruise.. first In this part of the world!
Wow, all this food is delicious! I love it!πππ
1 day you will get to Tassie π€£
We have had a lovely day in Melbourne celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary lunching with one of Lea's bridesmaids Jeannine Bonnefin and her partner Peter
Once again forgot photos! We had a nice walk along St Kilda Beach back to the ship Viking Orion, where we enjoyed a fabulous sail away with canapes and cocktails.
Thank you to all the guests for their best wishes and cards on our special day.

We have had two fabulous days. In Adelaide Lea's cousin Dexter and partner Jen, along with dear friends from the Sunshine Coast days, who all live in Adelaide now, visited on board the ship. We had a lovely day of catching up, not having seen them for 7 years!
Then this morning when we turned up at the new event of Book Club, the ladies had organised a breakfast including Mimosas to say thank you and happy anniversary for us tomorrow. π₯π₯
Feeling very loved. π
