On the 7th January, Noel and I headed to Norfolk Island.
Lucky me had a window seat and got some lovely photos coming into land.
Warning: lots of photos! 
We had both wanted to go there for years. A package deal came up on my
Facebook timeline which sounded great, so we booked. It was fantastic!
I'm a bit late posting this as for some reason blogger didn't want to play nice!
Slaughter Bay looking toward the old goal.
The supply ship, HMS Sirius, was wrecked here near the Kingston Pier
in 1790. It was on the reef
where the waves are crashing to the left of the photo.
Emily Bay with the Salt House ruins.
This is where we snorkelled which was fantastic.

Looking toward Phillip Island at Slaughter Bay near the pier.
I was lucky enough to have a window seat leaving too.
This is Phillip Island, about 6km from Kingston, the old settlement.
From Captain Cook Memorial.
We went to the Island Fish Fry.
We had trumpeter fish. It was so delicious, I had three helpings!
But I didn't have the sweets so that's okay.
At the Fish Fry at sunset. Can you see me (hint - red hair!)?
It was a little cloudy but still beautiful.
We were entertained with a wonderful singer and some dancing girls.
Norfolk Island Cemetery.
It was fascinating reading the head stones.
Sunset on our first night just a couple of hundred metres from where we stayed.
Cows have right of way on Norfolk Island!
If you've got this far, I hope you enjoyed a look at Norfolk Island.
We took so many photos it was hard to keep the number down in my post.
I can highly recommend visiting here and if you're interested,
I can send you the link to the travel agents we went through.
Our package included flights, accommodation, car hire,
Norf'k Laenwij (Norfolk Language) class, welcome dinner and several tours.
I can say we would definitely go back again.
