The Last Honeymoon is a fast-paced laugh-out-loud South Pacific joy-ride that follows newlyweds, Annie and Mitch, to beautiful Norfolk Island for their dream honeymoon. And everything that can go wrong – goes wrong.
It’s the honeymoon from hell in heavenly Norfolk Island.
Starts with our lovebirds, Mitch and Annie, together on a plane flying through sickening turbulence, and ends with Mitch in hospital powerless to help his new wife, Annie, who’s hopelessly lost at sea in a terrying white squall aboard the Rainbow Warrior VI.
There’s a barrel o’laughs and a bucket o’tears. There’s fights and bites, turtles and terns, lust and frustration, and lots of love – all set against the idyllic South Pacific Ocean… Which itself transforms in the blink of an eye into a dangerous death-dealing storm. Then it gets really bad.
The only way Annie and Mitch can make it through this rollrercoaster of matrimony is with the help of the entire community of unique Norfolk Island characters.
Will their marriage survive the honeymoon?
More importantly, will Annie and Mitch survive it?
Either way, it’s their last honeymoon.
