Around-The-World Trip Highlights Week 8 (Sydney and Noosa)

…d along as fast as we wanted to. Our beach day today was spent at Tea Tree Bay Beach. This was one of the beaches within the Noosa Reserve and was on the hiking path that ran from the main area of Noosa Head all around the Reserve. It was about ten to fifteen minutes walk from the parking area and was clearly a popular surfing bay with at least forty in the sea at an one time. The beach was not monitored by lifeguards but was popular with swimmers…

Fred Olsen Cruise Review – Spain and France Autumn Break

…Bay of Biscay Our transit to Spain required us crossing the unpredictable Bay of Biscay on our first day. It was well-behaved and we had a smooth passage, despite this time of year having some risk of more stormy seas. The lack of rolling and movement led to my table companions sharing their Bay of Biscay stories. I felt that there was some disappointment that it had been so calm as most clearly love being at sea and enjoy the motion – especially…

The 5 Best Things To See On An Antarctica Cruise

…chicks. Another great example of a hike was on Deception Island at Telefon Bay where we hiked right up to the crater of a volcano which had really destroyed big parts of the island. The other type of zodiac landing, which I really enjoyed as well, were ones where we either went and visited a research station, so for example we went to the Vernadsky Station which was a Ukrainian station since 1996 and before that it was a UK station which they sold…

…ptly improved which meant instead of calling into the advertised protected bay inside Deception Island, we landed at a more exposed site called Baily Head, which has the largest chinstrap penguin colony in Antarctica, and is hardly ever possible to visit. On all three cruises I’ve been on, the return crossing of the sometimes-rough Drake Passage has not happened per schedule either. On this recent trip, our time in the Antarctic Peninsula was cut…

…ut across the beach to sea. The Clifton area is after Sea Point and Bantry Bay and before the busy and buzzy Camps Bay area, also popular with locals and tourists. Clifton is popular not only because it is so beautiful, with soft dazzling white sands but also because even in the windy mid summer months it is very sheltered from the winds. The sea, as it is the Atlantic is very cold and you need to be fairly brave to venture into it – although it i…

The rooms are dotted around a hill and are a mix o…

On the way back stop to see the Penguin Colony at Boulders Bay, in Simonstown (the South African Naval Base) and then in the very colonial looking and slightly hippy town of Kalk Bay.
