Melbourne & beyond

Arrived to a breezy morning and had a leisurely breakfast, allowing those with more pressing needs to disembark.  Surprisingly there was no cellphone coverage in the cabin and limited on deck.  Eventually contacted Lynn & arranged to meet tram 109 at the end of the line at 11.00.  We got off the ship just after 10.00 and were (sort of) surprised that despite the notice in the Princess Patter, the broadcast on board and the signs in the terminal, the woman ahead of us had an apple. Lucky for her she declared it before the dog found it. The dog was suitably rewarded. We were berthed beside the much smaller Seabourn Odessey, which can be seen in the photos.
When Lynn & Wendy arrived we went for a pretty extensive walk, had coffee and back to the waterfront for lunch, followed by another walk along the recently renovated piers.  As neither Lynn nor Wendy had been to this area for a while, they were delighted to see how their taxes have been spent.  All too soon the day was over and we walked back on board and got ready for dinner.  I must say that the wind had really got up and was coming straight into the harbour, with lots of white caps.
After dinner we went to the theatre and saw a very good illusionist.  Don't know how he did it :-)  A big day and bed called soon after.  At least tomorrow is a sea day, so can relax,
Vivian, Wendy, Murray, Lynn
