Geraldton

We are aboard the Sun Princess just off Geraldton in WA. The weather is sunny and we have settled in to life on a cruise. We will take a tender ashore shortly.

We have caught up with friends Eddie and Patsy and despite a few hassles with bags we all sorted and settled. Today will be quite laid back and not very strenuous.

The ship has all we need but things generally seem a tier down compared to life on the New Amsterdam on our cruise last year around the Mediterranean.  The cabins are smaller than last year, the shower not the same, the food in the casual dining is served on melamine plates but on the positive side drinks are less costly.

Because of some problems the stop at Cairns has been cancelled giving us one time when we have 4 days at sea. For those still working this is a bonus, for those of us who aren't working it may be a disadvantage.

As the photo shows this is a 'tender' port where passengers wanting to go ashore are ferried between the ship and the land by the ship's life boats.

So if I manage to post this entry it will mean I have found a free WiFi spot on shore.
