Voyage to Neverland

The trip there was an adventure in itself, that is if you want to avoid flying and take the ship. Yes, flying is cheaper, but after all, this was a special week.

There are two identical ships that pass each other in the middle of the night. We left in the evening of one day and arrived in Tasmania the following morning. Sleep? Well, it depends on the weather. A five metre swell will make it more challenging to do that. The basic cost (business class) gives you a recliner seat in a large room facing aft through large windows. Quite nice, and the reclining action is good for a reasonable sleep. For those who are not good at sleeping that way, there are cabins at about twice the cost and upward of that for a high class cabin.

The ship tied up in Devonport, which suited us perfectly, because that was where Neverland was. That was where the birthday was going to be.
