Ruminations from the Silver Muse.

I went for a bit of a walk around the terminal. Just outside the QP free wifi I presume.


And SQ know how to advertise. At the top of the escalator to the QP.


And on the lounge floor a display of Aviation history in Cairns.








I liked this story.

Time to board. The view from the window and the seat view.




Then the taxi.








We had to wait for this little fellow.


Then on to the runway.


And one last look at our home for the last 6 weeks.

Scenes from the flight.






Dirty windows. The cloud lasted until approach to BNE.






The flight was an Alliance Embraer 190.

And that is it folks. But in 4 days time we are off again. spending Christmas in Japan with the family. As it is their first visit it is going to be the classics. A week in Tokyo ,3 days in Kyoto and 4 days in Osaka where we are spending Christmas. The family then heads for Niseko to ski whilst we spend 3 days in Kanazawa before fling to Bangkok for 3 weeks there to warm ourselves up.

I hope you realise that Silversea cruisers can get their knickers in a knot over that.

Did they clean their cabin when they left?

 

[drron]

We didn't clean it once in the 44 days we were on. You have a room attendant to do that and he was very good.

Thanks for this report. I really enjoyed travelling along with you.

Thanks for the trip report @drron ! Coincidently Mother NoName was on a cruise with the 2nd half having seemingly a close to identical itinerary. They were 80-odd days from Vancouver to Sydney and arrived back home on Tuesday. So I’ve been reading your trip report as well as her’s on WhatsApp. Will confirm but 99% sure it wasn’t the same ship.


EDIT: Confirmed as a different ship. They were on Viking Orion.

It was tailing us most of the way from Japan.
