Day 359: Rhapsody of the Seas.


Planes, trains and automobiles are one way to get to Cairns, another mode of transport is going back to the days of the grand old ladies of the seas.  Although in our present world, you won’t have to sleep in a hammock, scrub the wooden deck or worry about being keel hauled if you do something really wrong on board.  Today’s ships are refined with the latest luxuries, from movie cinemas, numerous pools, whirlpools, Casino Royale, themed bars, Adventure Ocean for the kids.  I hope that doesn’t mean they tie them to a rock and fling them off the back – modern day keel hauling (joking).  Would you believe this ship even has a rock climbing wall?  Now wouldn’t that be tricky in the high seas, adding to the challenge of it all.   The Rhapsody is truly a modern day lady of the high seas.
