Freemantle

Had a very nice day in Freemantle, spent with Annette and Peter. They met us at the ship, then coffee in Freo, a drive to Kings park and then back to Freo for lunch. We had not seen them since 2009, so we were thrilled to spend time with them - thank you.

Survived the Storm

Well, we are now anchored off Esperance - sun shining and a lot calmer this morning. We have heard that Perth took a battering last night. Have not heard when we will be moving on. We are looking forward to catching up with Annette and Peter in Freemantle. A pic of the view from our balcony yesterday . 

The First Week

Well after boarding at Sydney we found our cabin and found that our bags were delivered very quickly. It was decided that the "domestic duties" ( unpacking) could wait and after lunch we went on deck to enjoy the Sailaway through Sydney Harbour - as beautiful as I remembered.

Two days and we embarked in Melbourne - meeting Megan for coffee, then Liz and Leanne for lunch. The next night was a bit rough and Peter came down with his first bout of seasickness.

He had recovered by Adelaide and once we docked we were met by another friend - again a lovely lunch and time to catch up.

We we're then told bad weather was expected , so a change of plans - full steam ahead for Esperance , where we will anchor to hopefully wait out the storm.  We now expect to arrive in Freemantle 1 day later. Unfortunately Colombo has been cancelled, and we will go straight to Dubai from Frmantle.

Gale force winds expected, so hope Peter will be ok.

2016 World Cruise

Well, we only have two days and we are leaving on our next adventure. After much deliberation, the cases are packed - they have only been undone and checked a dozen times....never mind if something is missing we will just buy it!
104 days on  the Sea Princess - neither of us are sure how we will cope, BUT we are so looking forward to seeing new places and meeting new friends.
Keep an eye out for posts, we will update as much as we can.

Here is to a good holiday.
