SouthAussie100 Posted September 12, 2007 Author #101 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I too would like to thank you for such a detailed and amusing account of your cruise. Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish.:) Enjoy your next trip away - probably gaurenteed that the bed won't rock and roll to much, unless you want it to....if you know what I mean. ;) :p Thanks Margot, I do tend to rant on a bit when I get going :o We're looking forward to the Thailand holiday - just got to get over the flight there......god what a whinge....and there's bound to be air turbulence !! :eek: OK OK OK....shutting up about the bloody turbulence now !! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aegpeg Posted September 12, 2007 #102 Share Posted September 12, 2007 You could always just have pizza that night. They make good pizza and it is fairly cheap. We did that when we wanted to watch the sailaway from Vila and it worked out well. We stayed up on deck and got to watch the market people pack up and fit more stuff in their boats than we thought possible. Tables balanced on top of chairs, balanced on top of boxes. Precariously high. Unbelievable. :eek: Then we went and had pizza, garlic bread and a bottle of wine. It was great. Thanks Brushtail! Hey if it was just me and the hubby we'd happily eat Pizza or at the steakplace or in Noumea. But we have little kids and grandparents in tow... Vila sailaway sounds fun! Might have to skip dinner that night too! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aegpeg Posted September 12, 2007 #103 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hi Aegpeg,The LePetite train did go ahead. We saw them loading people on when we got on our coach. cheers ness Really? Maybe they just drive it a bit faster!! Well that is good to know - thanks heaps!! Might ring P&O now and book it! Thanks for the review. It was great to read about the same cruise we are doing! I'm hoping for calmer seas in a month!! Have fun in Thailand - we're off there for New Years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cheznandy Posted September 12, 2007 #105 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Vanessa, you'll be swapping no sleep due to the rocking, for no sleep due to the bloody hard mattresses and heat in Thailand!! Most hotels/resorts have great all you can eat buffet breakfasts though so you wont miss out there!! Have a great time:) We did 4 weeks in May, Samui, Koh Tao, Phuket, Kanchanaburi and Bankok:p Chez xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stayed in Patong for 10 nights at the Novotel. Absolutely loved it. We're doing the Ankor Wat tour in Cambodia for 4 days. We work with around 100 Cambodian people and they are very excited about our visit. cheers ness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clozzie Posted September 12, 2007 #109 Share Posted September 12, 2007 LOL - have to agree about the rock hard mattresses in Thailand! We were at a 3 star hotel in Bangkok, and my hubby actually looked under the mattress to see if there was something wrong with the bed! Then when we got to Phuket and stayed in a 4-star hotel it was the same... you do get used to it after about a week! And the buffet breakfasts definitely go a long way towards making up for it.
