Our ship departed Noumea late yesterday and cruised the Pacific Ocean all night and all day today. This was our view …
… until this ship sailed past in the opposite direction about a kilometre away from us.
We had breakfast with a friend while sitting outside at the back of the ship. The only show we saw was Ricky Albeck and The Belair Band. His mum Beccy and grandma Carol were in the audience, and Ricky persuaded Carol to sing These Boots Are Made For Walking.
Most bands have their speakers way too loud. I have been wearing earplugs most of the time! At any time, there can be up to four shows happening at once, but most of the venues are not designed for musical performances, so the acoustics are terrible. The sound in the main theatre is excellent, until the drumming volume is increased and drowns out the vocals and other instruments.
We met up with Beccy and other Roadies for a drink and ended up having dinner with a large group of Roadies.
