Orion


at Sea lots of presentations Mike Fogg’s  ‘Footprints on a Forgotten Land’ a tumultuous tale of conquest and discovery, betrayal, bloodshed, bungled expeditions, calamitous and courageous cattle drives.  Lectures  with  Harry Christensen  ‘The declassified Truth’  the shameful part Australian government ( lead by John Howard)  played in East Timor.   
Tours of the ship, Captain Mike Taylor showed us the bridge and Executive Chef Yannick the kitchen galley tiny and very hot for the number of meals they had to cook.
10th June At Sea
12th June.  Day of utter despair disembarkation; I had to leave the Orion  and only have photos and memory of my magical time.
