Cruise Ship MS Albatros sailed into Townsville Saturday 18th February. The MS Albatros was built for long distance cruising and is one of the small sized ships that operates once a year on an around the world itinerary. She is currently on a 60 night, 61-day leg from Sydney, Australia to Genoa, Italy.

Fantome Island - A step back in time

Stepping off the tender into the warm tropical waters and walking up the picturesque white, sandy beach through the trees I was not expecting what I saw next. An expansive field of white sand and concrete slabs are all that remains of the basic fibrolite huts built to house an indigenous leper colony that closed its doors for the final time in 1973.

The night lightning struck - Breakwater Marina


We woke at 4am this morning to a powerful crack, followed by rumbling thunder! Lightning was lighting up the sky at the marina. A petrified dog and scared child scrambled into our bed (I do miss our super-king bed at times like these!) Sleep wasn't coming anytime soon, so we got up and watched natures powerful show.

Loo with a view - Townsville Breakwater Marina by day

I was sitting in our bathroom looking out the window and thought to myself how lucky are we to have such a beautiful view from the loo! Not only do we have a beautiful view but it is forever changing depending on where we are moored or anchored.

I wanted to share these beautiful views with you.  I will be posting a view from our loo every Sunday.  Do you have a beautiful view from your loo?
