Cruising on the Aranui 3 again for my third lecture tour (twice this year!). Each time I make this voyage I am entranced with more and more cultural heritage details, as well as blessed to meet more and more heartwarming people.
Looking through my thousands of photos I can see a nice little story-line coming into focus, but for now I've shared a few random photos of my August 2012 voyage in three different posts:
