Susan/Jeff: I only know about monkeys on my Silversea cruise on the Shadow that I already posted. Pigs I do not know.

Continuing on for this cruise, you all know that we were stuck with stiff seas, and that Capt. Dag turned us around, fortunately, to get out of th way of the seas that were going on in the Bass Straits. By the time we left, they were 40 ft. and they rose to 60 ft. after he made his decision. I'm glad he did, and I hope to revisit this area! Sydney was great! It is that sort of city where you don't feel the need to visit museums, palaces, etc., as there are none that are considered not to miss! On my first day, I did a walk along the cliff from Bombi Beach to Tamarama Beach, and it was beautiful!! Lots of surfers and beautiful views. Hope I can soon post my photos!!
