I (David) went into work last week (I think it was Thursday – 7th July) and told them that I had booked and paid the deposit on a cruise starting on 21st July ….

Then told them that this was for 2023 !

I’m quite excited about this.  We will go to the Kimberleys (NW Australia) and go on a 12-day cruise up the coast of northern West Australia.

Click to enlarge, as always.This is the approximate course of the cruise.  Our friends Marchelle and Mark went on this tour a couple of years ago, having researched which “cruise” was the best to go on.  So we have booked with the same company and boat (it’s called “Discovery One”).  A smallish craft – maximum 20 passengers, shallower draught than most boats, two smaller-still rubber “outboards”, emphasis on good food and flexible itinerary according to conditions.  What is seen depends on what conditions are like, and what the captain thinks is best.  However the rock formations, bays, beaches, birds, fish, crocodiles are all spectacular.

So, I’m excited at the prospect.
