G’day Norfolk Island

G’day Norfolk … or should I say “Wat awey yorlee” which is Norfolks for welcome to you all.

The Norfolks dialect is actually a rather unlikely mixture of Cornish and Tahitian. This has come about as the majority of Norfolk Islanders are direct decedents of the Mutineers on the Bounty.

After a ‘brief’ flight of 2.5 hours and a further 1,043 miles to add to the tally we find ourselves back in the lovely island of Norfolk. Meeting up with Ma en Pa , Mariëlle and Sylvan and of course our cute 2 nephews, River & Lukas.

It was fantastic meeting up with them again on our 3rd trip to the island especially as they were waiting just behind the gates alongside the apron where we exited from our plane waving frantically.

So after a total of 22.5 hours flying time and 12,223 miles we’ve swapped one small island for an even smaller one!
