The ZEROpumpkins holiday thread!!! Pics inside...

ZEROpumpkins · 07.15.2007, 12:09 AM

Right now i'm on a big boat in Sydney harbour writing this on one of the compters they have onboard. I've been on a cruise for 10 days and am waiting my arse off as the line to get off the boat is massive, there's like 2000 people. But it's been a great holiday! We went to 2 islands in Vanuatu, Port Vila (which is the capital of Vanuatu) and one Island in New Calidonia. I went snorkeling on the three islands, one of them I even saw a squid

. On the last couple of nights I met a few people and we just hung out till about 3am. The boat came in 4 hours late this morning, and they are refusing to serve lunch. Thus, the only food on board are cookies for $1.50. Excuse the rambling nature of this thread, I'll update it and go into more detail when I get home. Thanks for reading!

Giant chess board

The boat as seen from Wala, a small island in north Vanuatu and our first port of call.

A small view of the markets in Wala

A small boat full of turtles and starfish. I got to pick up one of the large turtles. It was awesome.

A pig in Wala

Now we're in Port Vila, and this is a shot of a side street.

Looking at the bay from a hill in Vila

Mystery Island, our third port of call.

ZEROpumpkins · 07.15.2007, 06:04 AM

Isle of Pines, our fourth and last port of call. Isle of Pines is in New Calidonia

Coming back into Sydney now, here's the skyline.

The Harbour Bridge as we come back into Sydney

Opera House

Getting windy out on deck

Back in Sydney this afternoon, it still feels like I'm on the boat rocking.

You should put those all into a photo slideshow on youtube and set it to the song "Rock The Boat". Only then will it's true humour be unlocked.

But yeah, nice pix. It looks like a wonderful holiday.

That looks incredible! I've honestly never been on a holiday nearly as spectacular as that. Hey, nice camera too.

Thanks, it was fantastic, but very short.
