Love your shot of the Opera House. I can imagine "South Pacific" performance was simply wonderful.

Really made me feel that I could be quite comfortable on a cruise (haven't been on one yet). 7 weeks (like some of those folks are doing) would be way too much for me, however. Sounds like you're having an awesome time.
