My favorite port of call for the entire cruise was Mystery Island - a very small island with no people, roads. stores, running water, internet, electricity, TV, shops, or tourism (except when tour ships land nearby). Sounds heavenly doesn't it? No one lives here and yet 65,000 mostly Australian tourists flock here every year, 99% by cruise ship. In 1974 Queen Elizabeth made an unscheduled stop here for an impromptu "royal beach picnic in paradise. And for the first time, she had no one to wave to..."
