Arrival into the Port of Vancouver - May 12/2010

Arrival home after sailing over 9000 miles - it is a beautiful sunny May day to sail into the Port of Vancouver.

Flowers on display for sale in the market in Hilo. This is our last port of call before we arrive in Vancouver (next 5 days will be at sea)

This is the biggest banyon tree in the world - it is huge!

Our first "port of call" since departing Sydney (3 days at sea to reach here) Upon disembarking the ship, we were immediately hit with the heat and humidity of Noumea.

Coral reefs off the coast of Suva, Fiji - absolutely amazing how the ship sailed through it (of course we had the mandatory pilot boat leading)
