'She's allowed to - and he's not....'
The third in this series goes ashore with the more adventurous cruisers. Whicker flies into the mountains of Papua-New Guinea for an eerie encounter with the Mudmen. On Bali he is stunned by beauty, walks into an ambush and minds his etiquette. After stocking-up in Singapore, the QE2 sails on to the sights and sensations of Thailand. For the passengers at Pattaya - orchids and elephants. For the crew -kisses and kicks. Then it's time for another sailor's farewell....
