Driving through Burnie today, the boys were delighted to see a huge cruise liner in port. The MS Volendam is the biggest ship they've seen and they were very impressed (actually, we all were LOL). After a bit of quick Googling (gotta love smartphones!), we discovered that the ship is named after a town in North Holland; it's port of registry is the Netherlands; and it's on a journey around the Pacific from New Zealand to Canada and lots of places in between.
I think we'll have quite a few countries to research next library trip!
