    Afternoon Hop Hop Off Bus around Sydney

    2024年8月9日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    We arrived around 7a in the morning, we were able to check into our Hotel around 9a, grab breakfast and then jumped on both the Red- and Blue-line Buses of the Hop On and Off service to get a feel of the city. We combined the bus ticket with a ferry ride (that we used the following day). Since the 24 hour ticket started at noon, this was a fantastic way to start the trip. It's fun to see folks playing tennis, surfing and simply enjoying the city.もっと詳しく

    Manly Australia

    2024年8月10日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F

    Took the Hop On Hop Off ferry in the Sydney Harbor.

    After watching lots of sailing events and New Years celebrations in the Sydney Harbor over the years, it was a wonderful experience to see what it looks like in person.

    After a few stops, we got off the ferry at Manly Wharf. It seemed like we were in California: waterfront shops, vball on the beach, walking trails next to the beach and a beautiful walking trail with views of Sidney.
    The ferry drop-off was on the harbor-side of Manly; we walked to the beach side and started the coastal walk toward the Sydney Harbor National Park. We covered the bulk of the peninsula exploring the Barracks Precinct (an historic Australian Army site), North Fort (a remnant military complex, part of a defense system that spanned 300km of coastline during WWII), and many panoramic lookouts ending our journey at North Head which had spectacular vistas.    もっと詳しく

    Sydney Opera House and show

    2024年8月11日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F

    J9 started the day early with a workout at our hotel gym which is open 24 hours a day. When she returned, we went to breakfast where we spent some time researching information on creating blogs. (every day is a school day 😀) Then we walked to the Sydney Opera House where we had a tour scheduled at noon to learn about the facility and the current shows available. The creation of the Opera House is quite interesting:
    The design was an international competition: 233 designs were submitted from 28 countries.
    Danish architect Jørn Utzon was the winning architect behind the Opera House project.
    The original cost estimate (in 1959) to build it was US$7M
    Construction was expected to take 4 years; it took 14. This was due to a combination of creative- and political-disagreements combined with the complexity of design and structural solutions.
    There are more than 1 million roof tiles over the structure; the tiles were made in Sweden!
    The Opera House was (finally) opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1973
    The Opera House is not just one but actually six performing arts venues: the main concert hall (2,679 seats), the Joan Sutherland theater (1,507 seats), the Drama theater (544 seats) and the Playhouse (398 seats). There's also a studio theater with 280 seats. (Our tour only took us through the main and Sutherland venues.)
    Arnold Schwarzenegger won his final Mr Olympia body building title in 1980 at the Concert Hall
    After the tour, we looked at the schedule to see what/who was playing. We were told there was a possibility that some performances might be discounted if we presented our tour tickets. Fortunately the performance we wanted to see (Australian Pink Floyd) fell into this benefit! For a tribute band, the show was incredible experience with Pink Floyd's music resonating beautifully in the iconic venue, leaving us impressed by the wonderful sound quality at the Sydney Opera House.    もっと詳しく

    Morning walk over the Bridge; Zoo visit

    2024年8月18日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F

    J9's making me feel like a slug as she made it to the gym again today. After a casual breakfast, Mark reviewed Sydney highlights and it seems we missed walking the Sydney Bridge and visiting the zoo. With this now as a plan we started our walk to the bridge and wandered through The Rocks area which was in full swing of market and art fare. As with all art fairs, we found a fun local lunch -- but here it's kangaroo, crocodile and lamb.

    FYI We only walked on the birdge path, not over the bridge and saved $400 Australian dollars (not to mention avoiding a bit of height-squeamishness on J9's part) by walking the basic (street-level) bridge path.    もっと詳しく

    Goodbye Sydney, Hello Cruise ship

    2024年8月19日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F

    It's hard to say goodbye to our Hotel with its Executive Lounge breakfast buffet, afternoon buffet with happy hours and friendly staff. Below is our hotel coffee maker; what's not to like about 9 different types of coffee? Somehow I don't think the cruise ship will measure up. Another 1st world problem :)

    Obtained some additional Australian currency and found a currency exchange rate was .70 as compared to a ATM machine an .76. Yes the exchange rate on the internet is .64, so we feel a little violated. The misc fees are horrible, next time will investigate get currency at a local bank at home.

    Checked into our Princess Cruise ship and found their latest software revolutionary. If you order a drink using their application, they will deliver it to you anywhere on the boat!
    Our port departure was delayed a bit: we were told we have to wait for the ferry service to die down before we can leave our dock. There was a farewell party on the outside pool area which was a little chilly, so we instead found a nice table at the inside pool.    もっと詳しく

    Day at Sea

    2024年8月20日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

    Today's agenda for a day at sea --- normal ship stuff: wake up, work out, breakfast, nap, lunch, laundry, check out a few on-board activities, dinner and then watch a live show at 8pm and another at 9pm. (The dancers and singers at the 9pm were really very good.)

    So far the only 'disappointment' is that the ship does not have a "Crows' Nest"-type bar: this is a lounge that (on Holland ships) is located in the front top floor of the ship. Maybe we don't want to see where we're going even WITH alcohol in hand?

    This ship's application has an interesting mobile application feature: you can find your shipmate anywhere they are on the ship by searching on the app. Hmm.... is that a good or bad thing? 😀😀    もっと詳しく

    2024年8月22日〜23日, オーストラリア ⋅ 🌬 77 °F

    Not much to report on sea days. Today we passed this tiny island called Willis Island. It has a population of 4.
    Yes, you read that right: 4. It's a meteorological station and the team rotates every 6 months.

    As for the evenings, when you get to a show late you get the box seats with a wonderful view. Lol

    One nice thing about days at sea, there is no excuse not to get a full work out in :)    もっと詳しく

    Entering the port
    With all the cameras looks like a charterWith the help of a tugboat they turned the ship around 180 degrees!!What was cool is all the vehicles were running !The fees to ride in an assortment of actual WWII vehicles ... how cool is this?!They truly had an assortment of all the WWII tanks, jeeps, and transport vehicles.If your on a budget, you can get a ride in a jeep. It felt like hoggens harrows show.This German tank was re assembled from the remains of 6 destroyed tanks.We left and went further north and checked out some local beachesThe weather was nice, but super windy; so it was a blessing we weren't able to do a Reef tour today.The harbor near our cruise ship was like every other harbor, making you want to get a boat.We returned to the ship for the folklore show by a local band.Latter that night, they had a fantastic singer

    Cairns Australia

    2024年8月24日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F

    After 2 days at sea we arrive at Cairns at 11am, the home of the Great Barrier Reef. We're ~1,500 miles north of Sydney, & ~1,000 miles north of Brisbane. Therefore the Australian winter weather that was 55 to 70 degrees in Sydney changed to 65 to 80 degrees weather here.

    Pulling into the narrow Cairns Harbor was a pretty interesting experience. With the help of a tugboat they turned the ship around 180 degrees!! It felt like we occupied 90% of the width of the channel; & we had a full land-based audience watching the 'spectacle'!

    At first we couldn't figure out why we didn't arrive/dock until 11am: that ruled out any Great Barrier Reef tours or going on the Rail and Cable car ride in the mountains. However we later learned it was tide-driven -- there was no way a boat our size w/h been able to enter the harbor until the tide rose sufficiently.
    Every day's a school day....

    Luckily for us we attended the Cairns ship presentation and were told about the local Armory. What's better is that this weekend they were having the live 'show' where they pulled out a number of tanks and had 'rides' in them with a ticket purchase. With 1-Sept being Fathers' Day in Australia, there were plenty of tickets sold and thus opportunities to see these tanks actually MOVE. So we rented a vehicle and off we went to the armory.

    Afterwards we went to a local beach, then walked on the boardwalk back to our ship for a folklore show by a local band, followed by a fantastic singer.

    After a full day, no light piano bar tonight :)    もっと詳しく

    Darwin Australia

    2024年8月28日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F

    NOTE: Turn up the volume for the croc video! The SNAP of its jaws is just creepy!

    Yes, Darwin, Australia was named after Charles Darwin. Instead of evaluating evolution we decided to go on the Jumping Croc outing followed by a Hop On Hop Off Bus in Darwin.

    We learned Darwin (the city) was attacked on Feb 19th 1942 (10 weeks after Pearl Harbor ) by the same Japanese fleet that attacked Pearl harbor. They dropped a lot more bombs on Darwin than Pearl Harbor and the area was devastated.

    Going back to the tour, like other cruises we found you can purchase an excursion privately for half the price of the cruise ship offering.

    The tour provider was ~20 minutes late, but the ship was in port all day, so we didn't have any time concerns. The driver was both informative and funny going to and from the location. We're told a good percentage of the roads are flooded during the wet season, so we're happy to be here during the dry season.

    Moving on, we boarded a pontoon boat that looked like it was from a Mad Max movie. It has a metal frame around the boat for our protection. We were told not to hang anything over the sides; as evidenced by the video, that is one warning not to be taken lightly.

    We saw a lot of crocs including the alfa male named Brutus. Seems males are considerably longer than females and, aside from sheer size, their behavior is what helps you know gender (b/c who would try to look underneath!)

    Our guide did a great job making them jump. He showed us a nasty croc scar on his right arm that he got after a croc pulled him into the water years ago. 😳

    On the way back we drove to Fogg Dam -- it's a huge reserve, but they try to keep the croc population controlled by trying to trap & relocate them from the area. We're told 200 to 300 crocs make their way back to Darwin and have to be trapped and returned to the wild.

    Then we hopped on a Hop On Hop Off Bus, but unlike other tours, near then end of the trip they dropped us off at a bar on the water with a gift shop.    もっと詳しく

    Broome Australia

    2024年9月2日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F

    Broome is similar to Daytona Beach Florida, it's a place where Australians go during the winter (ie. 'dry season').

    Today we are going to drive around with our new Australia friends Simon and Janet Jones.
    Before picking up our rental car, we checked out the local Pearl shops, museum, Chinatown and the local market consisting of mostly Pearls and local crafts. We stopped for a coffee and learned that Simon used to be in the scuba diving business; he offered a lot of interesting information on the industry.The museum provided a display how they farmed Pearls. We found salt water pearls harvested from this area are ~200% more expensive than a freshwater pearl harvested elsewhere in the world but sold here.

    Getting our car, we first checked out Gantheaume Point which was very beautiful. Just off this point are fossils of dinosaur footprints located offshore but only visible during low tide. The tide moves over 15 feet in this area and if you're not here at low tide, you can't physically get to the prints. Since low tide wasn't until 4:30p, seeing the prints wasn't an option for us; so I'm putting the local picture here.
    A week later, I saw this article in the news indicating "Saltwater crocodeil spotted 50m off Gantheaume Point rocks", so I'm happy we didn't go swimming!
    Our last stop was in a park where preparations were underway for a festival. It looked like it would have been a lot of fun.
    Maybe next time!    もっと詳しく

    We took the train to visit Gael and Scott in Rockingham, 40 min train south of Perth. It's so much fun to visit folks in other countries. They gave us a nice overview tour of their area; we walked a few beaches and parks. Then we drove back to their house where they treated us to a traditional Australian BBQ for lunch (awesome!!). We then went in search of Giants.

    Later that night Susan joined us, so the 5 of us went to Ellington, a local Jazz bar for some Motown music. In Chicago bands are normally 4-piece, so a 9-piece band was a treat.    もっと詳しく

    Jewel Cave (Deepdene, AU)

    Arrived at the Jewel Caves and joined the 3:30pm tour
    Jewel Cave is the largest show cave in WA and ranks as the 5th longest in the world. The 1.5-hr tour was enjoyable with professional walkways and lights. Unlike our Banff-area Canmore cave experience years ago, there was thankfully no crawling required. And unlike other caves the majority of fresh water entering this cave disappeared years ago, so the the cave is no longer growing.もっと詳しく

    Then off to Canal Rock

    Where we climbed our way to the point, where Janet pointed out the whales.

    Afterwards we started our wine tour.
    At the winery, we experienced our green parrot again.
    Seems the green parrot is Indigenous to the area, but we're told it's also referenced as 28, because Australians will use a 28 shot gun to rid them of as the parrot eats there flowers.

    Later the same day you can start to understand how the bird is a pest as it eats the plants at the winery

    Then back to surfer point to watch the surfers

    First we drove from Margaret River back to Perth and caught a 1:20pm flight to Adelaide.
    After checking into the Adelaide Hilton, we took a walkabout around and found a little farmers market, wine store and theatre. Walking into a local bar we noticed people watching something called "Australia Football League (AFL)". The bar was really crowded, so we went back to our room to watch the game. Immediately we noticed this is way different than rugby and very popular in Australia. After investigating the rules on YouTube, the game made more sense and was just as fun to watch.もっと詳しく

    NE of Adelaide is wine country. J9 booked us on a full-day wine tasting tour. Aside from a few wineries, the tour had an interesting stop at a dam built in 1903.
    An unexpected expected outcome of the Dam is that sound is carried across the Dam wall, so our guide was able to talk to us from one end of the dam and we could clearly hear him on the other. More importantly, the dam was an engineering marvel at the time for its construction.

    We then visited 3 wineries, with a final stop at a viewing area with its history. The park had a number of art works.

    We arrived home just in time to catch dinner a nap and then catch a Stones tribute band. We were able to book 2 of the last 6 tickets on the main floor.

Then we thought about renting an electric scooter, but scooters can only be returned in town. So we decided to walk a trail we found in AllTrails. The trail was rated 4.6, so we thought we would walk until we got tired and get an Uber return.

    We found the trail next to a small stream to be excellent with lots of birds and plants.

    Local hikes on Kangaroo Island

    2024年9月17日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F

    We found two hiking trails on the northern side of Kangaroo Island. The first trail, Ema, had a AllTrails rating of 4.6 and was 6 miles long on the coastline. Driving to the trail was simple and we were only 1 of 3 cars in the parking lot.
    Later in the walk we talked to some locals and we're told if we see dolphins we should shed our cloths and join them in the water. It seems the Australian dolphins are friendlier than the US Dolphins. We didn't see any, so we didn't have to consider going swimming Aussie style.

    What's really cool, near the end of our hike, we met these two local tour guides and they were cleaning plastic and garbage from the beach. They love their island, and this is a truly symbolic of two ladies trying to make a difference.

    Leaving Ema we made our way to a Lavender Farm that served food. Along the way, I saw a Koala crossing the road. Backing up the car, Janine found him up in the tree. Not only is it in the wild, but awake. We have been told they sleep 16-18 hours a day, so this was a major Australia find (for us). After a couple pictures we continued our drive to lunch.

    Janine found our second location called Stokes Bay: a somewhat hidden but interesting beach walk just the same.

    Returning back to our hotel, we checked out the local laundry as all Mark laundry was dirty. J9 on the other hand responsibly washes her laundry each night.

    When we were leaving an elderly gentleman using a walker approached us and asked if we knew where his hotel was. It seems he was lost. He showed us his hotel key card --- it appeared he was staying in the same hotel as us. After talking to him for a while we convinced him into letting us drive him home. It seems he ordered a pizza for his wife, walked to pick it up, took a wrong turn out of the pizza place and walked ~3 blocks in the opposite direction. After passing the hotel twice he finally recognized the entrance of the hotel that looked familiar to him and j9 walked him back to his wife. We were so relieved to be able to help him, because it was dark and the streets were empty. Thank God our paths crossed!!

    Afterwards we made our way to the same pizza bar "Bella Cafe and Pizza Bar" and were able to place an order right before they were going to close. We found the house Pizza excellent! :)    もっと詳しく

    Started our day driving 1.5 hours to Flinders Chase National Park. It's on the far west side of the island and has a number of sights to see. They recently built a new information center that helped us plan our day.

    We started with a 1.5 mile walk around the Cape Du Couedic Lighthouse. Then went to the original house where the lighthouse families lived. Back then, once every three months the their provisions were supplied via boat and hoisted up the hill. At that time, there were no roads to the lighthouse.

    The next stop of the day was to Remarkable Rocks and they were remarkable indeed.

    We then went to Seal Bay after lunch only to find out that we were too late for a visit --- they were closing soon. But the park ranger we met at the entrance was one of the guides we met the day before picking up plastic on the beach.!

    On our way back home we made a quick stop at the wool store only to find it crazy expensive.    もっと詳しく
