City and Outback Australia

Today we docked in Noumea, New Caledonia. We had a short stay of around 7 hours. We decided to try the hop on hop off bus tour. This had around 7 stops around the area of the port or around a 5 km radius. The busses were new and thankfully air conditioned which was such a relief. Everyone was given a wrist band that was colour coded so it was easy to see which bus you needed to hop back on to. Here are some photo's from the area.

We are on the P&O Pacific Explorer departing from Sydney Australia heading toward Noumea, New Caledonia. This is an 8 night cruise. So far the food has been only ok in the buffet area though we ate at Luke Magden's burger bar last night and it was fabulous. The sea has been unkind and we were both pretty sick which doesn't happen often. They were unable to use the ships stabilisers so i'm sure thats why we fell ill. No fresh water between certain hours but that has now been fixed. The cabin Steward is great but when are they not they I guess. We will be late to Noumea due to adverse weather so we will be staying longer in port to compensate which is great.
