Cave dancing
Deep Club in Makarska is a club inside a cave. A bunch of us from the boat head there around 11pm for our first night of partying as part of the cruise. It gets packed quickly, full of Aussies and it is hot a sticky. Carter and I sit by the cave mouth at one point to cool down and spot a group of what we thought were Canadians.

No, they are actually Aussies, but have caught the spirit and ate celebrating Canada day. Doh…i feel a bit…

A boatload of Aussies
Booked for an island hopping cruise for a week, we get on our boat to find it chock full of Aussies. Carter and I are the only non-Aussies, apart from the crew.
