Lord Howe

Spent the last 10 days on Lord Howe Island.  Henry Lidgbird Ball was sailing past in 1788 taking some of the first fleeters out to Norfolk Island when he spotted this one. I guess naming it after the navy's top boss at the time was a good move as he end up becoming an admiral himself much later. I didn't take out any travel insurance. It's only 1000km off the coast writes he who had to change the return dates twice and pay extra accommodation.  It seems stormy weather combined with a mountainous island, a narrow airstrip and a smaller plane don't mix. Resulting in 30% of all journeys to and from the Island being disrupted in some way.  I'll remember that next time.  There is much to do here and we did not cover the list properly so a return trip with insurance will be required.
