Today, we sighted the first cruise ship of summer, in the harbour at Auckland, it's called The World. I remember reading about this chunk of marine hardware a year of so ago, it claims to be not so much a cruise ship as a floating community where the so-inclined can buy apartments, live their lives and never set foot on dry land, unless they want to. Leastways, I suppose they're allowed to get off if they want to, but who knows?

There is an article on Wikipedia about The World, click here.

Hey-ho, it takes all sorts...

Looking back to an earlier blog, at the picture of the chap about to throw himself off of the Sky Tower, reminded me of an old joke of Max Miller's concerning the options available to someone standing on the edge of a precipice.
