Below is the link for our visit to Airlie Beach, Australia. While the day was a good one it became more interesting (towards the bottom of the day's blog) as I met someone that all of you know. It was a great visit, and I look forward to more with him.

Super nice man. At 85 his memory is still sharp. Couple of things he pointed out were the Jacob Hester five runs on 4th down against Florida. He spoke a great deal about the game and Tebow but said the calls by Coach Miles and the Hester performance he would always remember. Also said Tiger Stadium is the loudest stadium he has ever visited. Shared some funny stories about Danielson and said man you guys (LSU fans) hated us when CBS changed night games to the afternoon. I told him yeah I was one of them.

We always would call him Uncle Verne in our house. Huge fans.

When we get back to the ship (jumped off for a few extra days in Sydney) I will be sure to tell him this. He will get a good laugh from it.

Make sure and go through the Strait of Magellan because of, you know, irony....

Fourchon thanks for keeping us posted on this adventure. Excellent job on the blog also. I don't think i would have the patience with the internet on the ship especially now that I see how many pics you post in your blogs.

Every cruise I did longer than 120 days went through the Suez Canal.

Thank you......I appreciate it. Sadly, tonight is the last night in Sydney so the Wi-Fi will suck again starting tomorrow night. Back to 4 second videos and 4 hours to upload 20-25 photos.

That looks amazing.

If someone goes missing on the cruise, I’d x-Ray Verne.

Just a kind note. On June 6 in Lisbon Portugal. Our Lady Of Fatima is 13 minutes away. Beautiful Churches in Portugal. Miraculous holy water at Fatima. In case this is of interest.

Thank you for the suggestion, but we have been before. Now, a couple from Houma on The World Cruise have booked an excursion with Viator to visit Fatima.

We have continued on our journey, and I keep forgetting to post on TD.com of our daily blog posts. We had a great day in Colombo Sri Lanka yesterday, so I wanted to link the blog for yesterday. Be sure to look through our previous stops. I think Airlie Beach or Sydney was my last post here.

We had four sea days so I got lazy and did not update the blog but hope to catch up tomorrow. Today was a visit to Victoria, Seychelles. A beautiful island with some magnificent beaches and surprise visit with huge tortoises.

We visited Nosy Be, Madagascar today. Certainly is not what we are used to back home.
