Hi gang, sailing from Fremantle for 16 days, 5 ports of call in Indonesia on Sunday. We are actually going to Makassar (Macassar) where the famous oil for "gentlemen's hairdressing" came from and why women invented the anti-macassar for the backs of chairs. It's in the Sulawesi Islands. Also Komodo Island, the home of the massive dragons (I can remember David A going there many years ago)
Keep well and safe and happy wombating.

Re: Off on me jollies
Look out I'm back!! Wonderful holiday. Great ship, food, shows, friends old and new. Packed so much in came home "stuffed"...to some cold and wet weather. We stopped over the sight of the sinking of H.M.A.S Sydney, lost with all lives, a beautiful service. Will write in our military section. I hope you have all been behaving yourselves?? Yeah right...
Just got to get this extra 2 kilos off next...
