Auckland to Vancouver cruise - #14 - March 23 to April 30th/2017.....


On Wednesday, Holland America docked at Port Vila, Vanuatu.

We took the Holland America Tour ($64.95) to tour the Lagoon Cruise at 8:30 - the tour lasted about 2.5 hours and was on a little boat called the Barge. 

We went on the bus to the lagoon - the Tour Guide was interesting, and we learned about their history (Tip $3Aus).    

The boat was covered and held about 40 people – they had a bar set up, and an alcohol drink was included. 

There were hundreds of starfish in the lagoon.   A very nice tour with a gentle breeze……

 
The Port had maybe 50 tents set up outside, but fenced in next to the Ship.

For dinner, I had bacon and cheddar soup, Yankee pot roast, lemon custard trifle and melon sorbet. 


Thursday, April 13th, was a sea day.  There are many activities on the Ship, including games, a library, and activities that the Ship has scheduled.  You will never be bored, especially sailing across the South Pacific.

For dinner, I had Boston lettuce with gorgonzola cheese, prime rib with stuffed baked potato, and for dessert, cream Brule.  I also had a Grolsch beer.
