Well our escape from Xmas couldn’t have been worse and much like The Kranks Christmas.

 

At the cruise terminal was sent to the naughty passenger corner where another pile of glum passengers sat, because our travel insurance didn’t state New Caledonia, but we did have cruise insurance. Luckily I had written to Southern Cross to ask if we were covered in New Caledonia and they wrote back affirmative, but the policy only showed Australia.

 

You can’t travel without the NC insurance. With limited data left on my phone roaming I searched for the email, found it in gmail but the 5 attachments of course wouldn’t open! Luckily I had also sent it to my yahoo and eventually found the email to show them, by this time I was shaking and in tears under so much pressure and worried my data would run out. 

 

Then we get to passport control and she looks me up and down many times like I was on some offenders list and calls over a superior. Heart dropped. So they are all looking at the passport and at me and I’m asking what, what. Finally with little explanation she says it’s a glitch because it’s a new passport and waves me through. 

 

Get on board still distressed and think finally. Well within a few days I get sick and miserable.

 

Then this morning…I wake up to Camera messages, Person detected in Hallway then another five messages that movement detected in other rooms. Well…guess who forgot to put in the SD card in the cameras so I couldn’t review. I’m frantic now and can’t call the police as don’t have phone use in middle of the Coral Sea we are in airplane mode, only messaging. First thought was ask someone at GZ to phone for me. Finally managed to find a friend to call them. 

 

So I’m watching on camera at four police with guns, going through the house and managed to talk with them through the camera. Nothing appeared breached and they gave the thumbs up. No idea who or what triggered the cameras, we don’t have a cat but apparently may have a ghost. 

 

So now am feeding on Panadols while the rest are eating shrimp and petit fours. So much for escaping drama at xmas. One more day to go. What else could go wrong. 

 

 

 

 I’m impressed you got police with guns to turn up: are you a VIP? Embassy staff? Spy?
