More Liverpool

Commonly called Paddy's Wigwam, the Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King was opened in 1967 and constructed over 5 years. The large crypt, at the base of the church was constructed before WWII, but the Cathedral's build was halted due to the war. So in early 1960, through a design competition, architect Frederick Gibberd (a protestant) won the project to create a building that would work around existing crypt and also have direct lines of sight to the altar, with seating for 3000. The roof is surrounded by a crown of thorns on the exterior and the stain glass lantern tower is the largest circular assembly.

Got to love a place that sells shirts saying " Where the heck is Yap? " Colonia ( population 3,100 ) is the Capital and Harbor town of Yap State ( population 11,600 ) one of four states in the Federated States of Micronesia. We are in the Pacific Ocean or Philippine Sea just north of the equator, Papua New Guinea and Australia.

TERNATE, INDONESIA

By Patricia Patrick • October 13, 2025
Ternate, Indonesia, which is both the name of the city and island, and is part of the Maluku Islands in eastern Indonesia. It is a port that sees maybe 3 Cruise ships a year. However, they really made an effort to show us the best of what they can offer. It's mainly a Muslim country, and we knew we had to dress discretely, but we knew little else. We didn't have our typical port talk prior, due to a technical issue with the AV equipment. Ben a fellow resident, organized an island tour, with about 8 stops, for 90 of us residents.

Cebu greeted our Ship with a big warm welcome, despite having just been rocked by a major Earthquake, days before our arrival. The Minister of Tourism arrived with a motorcade and she proceeded to chat with the residents and thank us, for all our support.
