The Lair Christmas Island

... noisy, and had a brief discussion on computer networks with the Chief Engineer as he has been asked to specify cable lengths needed to connect the onboard computers in a network. After a spell at the bows I retreated from the rain to my cabin, and was very pleased to receive a new mattress - the main benefit of the party, from my point of view, was chatting to the Chief Officer and finding him to be IC furniture!

18th Monorail to KL Sentral, Ekspress train to airport. Not many people on the flight and only a few that I recognise - Gordon and James, mainly. Arrive back on Christmas Island about 2pm. A beautiful clear approach to the runway, a great view of Settlement on the way in, and a nice smooth landing. Begin the walk from the airport into town but am saved from walking too far when Anne stops to give me a lift. The Cove is full of yachts - there's 9 of ...

Today Spider was sleeping and i was stroking him and he woke up in a sudden and bite me with out thinking!!! Prudence told me it would be O.K. but i don't believe her! Apparently our ship has gone off track and we are lost!! its exciting but scary!!!

No pics.....but stopped at this tiny island, the airport lounge consisted of a shed !! probably as big as your garden one !! and had a hand painted sign saying "welcome to Christmas island" Colin wanted to get off the plane, but......not allowed. Not sure what would have happened if the plane had an emergency....as the firetruck looked like something about to be condemed.

I continued on and after another 20 km or about 45 minutes, just when I thought I had enough of the humpback hills ups and downs, we descended on the fishing village of Pulabuhan Ratu. It was rather scenic ...

... added for a bit more effect. In fact, as a first I had my buttocks massaged too!! The 'highlight' of the torture has to be the guy trying to move my upper body as far as possible in 1 direction, whilst simultaneously moving my lower body in the opposite direction. And all that for 2 pound sterling!! Well, I'm off to lie down and recover...

... is apparently some of the best in the world and is unbelievably huge. We did a cave dive and saw numerous lantern fish that glow fluorescent green and loads of small red prawns that eat the dead skin off your feet (very pleasant!). The best dive though was a sunrise dive where we were in the water before 6.30am and saw no less that 20(!!!!!!!!!!) grey reef and white tip sharks - one of which was around 3m long! The only down-side is that this couple told me that after the diving in ...

Première fois que je vois autant d'eau d'un coup! J'espère que je sais encore nagé. Que c'est bleu! Notre arrivée sur cette petite île volcanique surprend tout le monde. Ils n'ont qu'un vol par semaine et ce n'est pas aujourd'hui. Tout le monde nous accueille chaleureusement et s'enthousiasme pour notre voyage. Malheureusement pour moi, ce n ...
