The Twelve Apostles Port Campbell National Park

It was a great relief for the four of us when the bus came to a halt after an hour or so after our lunch.  We finally reached The Twelve Apostles!

Thank goodness for the pills, we came out quite refreshed without feeling a bout of nausea... (I must remember to take them along during our travel next time) 

My girl used to have "phobia" sitting on the bus, she used to throw up during our travels last time... however surprisingly this time, she did not and she was not complaining about her discomfort.  In fact she seems to be having a great time....
She even have the mood to do some "facial" expressions...
 Andy seems to be in good mood too!
 We have to take turns to become photographers....
Finally we reached the entrance to the Twelve Apostles... 
We have to follow the pathway... do not go beyond the railings..
Though it was sunny, the wind was chilly!
After some walks and talks, we saw this awesome sight...
How I wish my camera is sharper!
How about this?  Isn't it spectacular....
Nearer angle.... 
Zoom in some more...
We were told that due to the erosion, they might not be twelve anymore... 
Mostly Asians, right?
Time to pose!
Someone has to stoop lower to get the scenery right!
We stopped someone to take this family picture for us....
Kept asking him to click one more... one more.... 
and finally I love this one Most!
Despite the long and winding road, I was so glad that we came here...
The driver was right... the earlier oceans  cannot be compared....
The ocean here is indeed a sight to behold....

    I wouldn't want to go and see some eroded rocks...but I bet the overall scenery of the place will take one's breath away. I didn't go to Stonehenge either when in the UK, same reason.

    The rocks and cliffs are pretty sight! They looked like mini canyons. We don't have such awesome seasides like that in our country. I am making notes of your trip for my future plans! Thanks for sharing Miss Colgate.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
