Viking Sun Cruise: Sydney to Durban – Part 1

After three months with the family in Perth WA, how comes it that Roy and I are indulging in such an extravagantly long cruise?

Well, my Chief Planner of Travel & Leisure found a ship that could take us from Australia to South Africa – the Viking Sun would be docking in Fremantle port during the 28-night Sydney-to-Durban leg of her Miami-to-London world tour.

Roy Goes to Rotto! – 25-26 February

Ha! Roy was finally prevailed upon to visit Rottnest Island – or Rotto, as it’s more generally known here in Western Australia.  (Click here for my 2018 day trip with Susan.)

As regular readers of this blog will know, my husband is the epitome of a Taurean: he loves his creature comforts. He detests anything akin to camping, hates the heat, and is anything but a beach bunny. No doubt he was hoping to continue to dodge the issue as he had successfully done thus far.
