Port Vila Vista
So... I haven't managed to find the time to put up an account of my overseas experience. So I decided to write a thousand words, or at least the pictorial equivalent.
Any questions?

Seven days in sunny July
And now it all comes crashing down... But I must admit it was nice to get back to work and have my finger on the pulse once again.
I learned a few things while on the cruise. They are as follows:
a) Hypnotism is a load of bollocks. Not like I didn't think that before; this just proved it beyond any shadow of a doubt.
b) Tropical islands don't mean warm water. Not in New Caledonia at least.
c) Not unlike in Gary Larson comics, there is not a hell of a lot to do on tropical islands. Not that that matters; it's kind of the point.
d) When I got off the ship at the end, the earth moved under my feet. Everyone else just affected not to notice. The Emperor's New Clothes, I tell you!
I can't be bothered explaining further tonight, or uploading any pictures. They take forever!
Further bulletins later. When I can be bothered.
Could be next year then, I guess.
