My first contact with a Stone Age tribe on Vanuatu 🇻🇺 got off to a poor start.
The head man in the village told me they ate the first Christian Missionary they encountered in the 1850s… 😳

On the war memorial in #NewCaledonia the name of Melam Baouma, a soldier of #France, who obviously didn’t stay ‘far behind the front lines’ fighting with the #USA in #Afghanistan 🤨

Stopped to pay my respects to the war dead of our ally #France in Noumea #NewCaledonia today.
500+ names 1914-18 on the memorial for the “war to end all wars”, or as #Canadian author Margaret MacMillan put it:
The War That Ended The Peace

I found a #Canadian connection in Thurston Park Suva #Fiji.
A monument dedicated to the memory of O.J. Marks, of Marks and Co. who drowned in the St. Lawrence River in the disastrous sinking of the Empress of #Ireland.
Read about it and weep 😪
BTW the water fountain still works.
Yay 😅

Travelling and looking for strong WiFi?
Check out the local #library, even one that still has its old card catalogue. 😂
🤔
Without checking Google your trivia question for today is:
How many libraries around the world were funded by Andrew Carnegie?

Alberta's Risky Experiment to Sell Bitumen on World Markets
As China and India rapidly accelerate the electrification of their economies, Danielle Smith somehow thinks she'll sell them more oil.
She's delusional.

Made a pilgrimage to the house of Robert Louis Stephenson in Apia #Samoa, another one of my heroes.
IMHO this bronze statue is artwork of the highest quality.
I can just him sitting at his desk writing..

It’s striking how, in the space of a year, the self-proclaimed democratic light on the hill has allowed itself to descend into a lawless dictatorship.

Next stop for me will be Cook’s Monument on the Big Island of #Hawaii.
TBH he’s one of my heroes. 🤷♂️
History’s greatest navigator/explorer worked his way up from very humble beginnings and poverty in #Yorkshire.
His advancement and accomplishments in the Royal Navy were entirely due to #merit.

A statue of King Kamehameha I in front of the Hawaiian Supreme Court
In the early 1800s he united this archipelago into a unified kingdom.
In the 1890s American planters led by the Dole family staged a coup d’état and overthrew the government, leading to the annexation of #Hawaii by 🇺🇸 in 1893.

As the article states #Canada 🇨🇦 would be a stable, reliable and congenial host.
Cashing in on the #NewYork real estate and moving #UnitedNations HQ north of the border might also be quite cost effective. 😉

Attended services yesterday at the #Episcopal Cathedral in the historic centre of #Honolulu #Hawaii.
An outstanding example of Gothic Revival #architecture built from locally quarried stone; exception being the arches, pulpit and font, carved in #England under the direction of HM Queen Victoria.

The first two sea days out of San Diego were rough but finally the #Pacific started living up to it’s name.

Spotted a bird today, an indicator that we’re approaching #Hawaii.
The ship is spotless. The crew is excellent.
Full marks to the Dutch and Holland America’s MS Zaandam.

Where wealth accumulates, and men decay:
Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade;
A breath can make them, as a breath has made;
But a bold peasantry, their country's pride,
When once destroyed can never be supplied.

So petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre formally endorses Trump’s neofascist international lawlessness.
Next peewee will be encouraging Putin to kidnap Vladimir Zelenskyy and his spouse to face a show trial in Moscow.
Remember when he ordered his grisly henchmen to vote against 🇺🇦Ukraine?

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

We flew down to San Diego today to start a Pacific cruise with Holland America on the MS Zaandamn.
I beginning to wonder if cruising would be a good alternative to going into the old folks home, when the time comes. 😂 😉
