Very detailed travelogue on visiting the remotest inhabited islands in the world: Tristan da Cunha and St. Helena, as well as S. Africa, Malaysia and Singapore, and Indonesia. Very informative, full of tips, history, what it was like to visit and stay there, indexed by country. Visit my webpage for this and other downloadable travelogues: http://www.tcp.com/~lgreenf
These are fascinating islands. Tristan has only 238 people, all with same 7 last names.

which constitutes the non-smoking section has a curtain which can be
pulled shut when showing videos (there's a TV and VCR), and you can borrow
videos from the purser's bureau and watch them here late at night, as many
people wound up doing. The ship's reading library is also located in this
lounge, stocked with a moderate selection of boring books. The eating

videos in here as well), and the sun lounge (unlike the main lounge
downstairs which has no doors leading outside, the sun lounge exits out to
the sun deck and swimming pool). The sun lounge is also the alternate place

There's also a bar here, as well as another slot machine by the door out to
the sun deck. The sun deck has tables with umbrellas, chairs, and chaise
lounges to relax on, both in the main rear section as well as a few on the
sides of the ship. The small swimming pool (square-shaped) is located here,
