Day 55 Albany, Australia

Today we were in Albany and our Captain did his best and got us in on time.  It was iffy because of the medical emergency yesterday we lost 4 hours.  We had a tour of the National Park and Middleton Beach.  The tour was also suppose to include a natural bridge and the blow hole.  Unfortunately the road to the natural bridge is closed due to construction and we did not go.  For some unknown reasons we went to the whaling museum café for a 45 minute coffee break.  There was hardly anything there and we did not have tickets to enter only the café and the gift shop.  Then they decide we can go to the blow hole.  Well it was reminiscent of Iguazu Falls again as it was a long walk along rocks and steps down and because it was not windy the blow holes we could hear but not see.  Then I had to walk all the way up.  Did much better than I did a  few years ago in Argentina.

Now we are running late and people are complaining they want to go to the town.  So the guide gives us a choice do we still want to go to the beach or just go to town or back to ship.  I wanted to see the beach.  5 people got off in town we drove through and I saw it all so no need to walk around.  The beach was beautiful unfortunately we only had 10 minutes and we are all wondering why we wasted 45 minutes having coffee (which was not included) when we could have been at the beach.  The scenery was breathtaking on the whole trip.  The first stop was what they call the GAP and we walked up the rocks.  It was awesome.  Andy was on our tour Ilene is not feeling well so she did not go.  We got back to the ship around 1:30 dropped off all our stuff and went met Andy for lunch at Tastes.  We sail this afternoon at 4:00pm. 

5:00pm I need to go to Hubert’s as that is when the drawing will be.  I did not win last cruise so I hope I win this one!

Albany has approximately 35,000 population and it is lovely we drove all around the coast.  We set said to Perth/Freemantle where we will arrive tomorrow around 12noon and be there overnight.
