This is an early post today. We started a new art class this morning. It is all about the Aboriginal art of dot painting. We will end up with 6 paintings, 4 x 6 that we can frame if we wish. I probably won’t-no place to hang it at home. We traced our...
it was a hot, sticky day in Sydney. The ship moved to a different pier overnight to make room for a big Princess ship. Our ship is small enough to go under the Sydney Bridge, so we had to give way to the other ship. We had to take a water shuttle to the...
I got up at 4:45 to go to Deck 7 to watch us sail into Sydney Harbor. It’s a beautiful sight. One of the guest lecturers was there to explain what we were seeing. The best of course was when the Opera House and bridge came into view. I went back to...
The morning photo is of a cave in the harbor at Eden. We had a panoramic tour of the area. We first drove to a city up in the hills. The area we drove through reminded me of farm/forest areas at home. Except there were wild cockatiels flying through the trees. The...
Sorry there was no post last night. We didn’t get back to the room til after midnight..I’ll start from the beginning…the photo above is off the starboard side( that’s the right side to all you landlubbers). More islands off the coast of Australia,, Luckily we decided not to take the tender and a shuttle...
I didn’t have a very good day. I had leg cramps off and on all night. Then I woke up in the morning and spent time in the bathroom-not fun. I had to give up an all day trip up the coast. I felt terrible about not being able to go but it...
We had to go through a face to face immigration this morning. We met in the theater and groups were called to go. I was signed up on a tour but elected not to go because of my stomach problems. So after we went thru immigration, everyone left on their tours and we had...
Last day at sea for a couple days. We’ll be in Melbourne for 2 nights. It’s nice to spend a couple days in a city. My schedule was the same as usual, lecture at 9:30, trivia at 12. I went to a felting class at 1:00. I finished my troll. Felting is...
You can’t tell it from the above photo but we’re sailing in 10-12 foot swells. It’s been hard to walk around the ship. I haven’t been nauseous but I have been feeling the vertigo. At breakfast , around 9:00, we saw our friends, Beryl and Ben. We sat with them and talked til...
Our schedule was pretty much the same. We went to a lecture by our favorite guy. This was on how sheep changed the world. It was about the wool trade. It was humorous and informative. Then on to Trivia. We did pretty good today but not the winner. ‘I played Euchre...
