Maybe it is time to review where we have been and what lies ahead. We have been making our way around Australia, crossing from the Pacific Ocean to the Tasman Sea, and eventually to the Indian Ocean and our last Australia stop, Perth.
Yesterday we visited Adelaide. We spent most of our time at the South Australia Museum. Their collection of Aborigine-made art and artifacts is wonderful. A few examples...
If you look up the Museum's website, you may find more and better examples of this unique work.
For a complete change of pace, our tour took us to a chocolate factory on our way back to the ship. The samples were delicious. It was fun to watch the candies riding on a conveyor belt, like a scene from I Love Lucy. But after two months of nonstop buffets on the ship, we were not very tempted by all the giant Easter eggs and other goodies.
And speaking of food, our dinner was an Australian barbecue outdoors on the deck. There were ribs and corn on the cob and all the things you would expect at a barbecue, plus the biggest, juiciest shrimp I have ever seen. All this, plus a trio playing music and singing Australian music, made for a great evening.
Stuffed again, we went back on shore, lured by rumors of free Internet in the terminal building. Well yes, it was free, but like the Internet on our ship, it was overloaded and just didn't work. And on that subject, sorry if I haven't answered your e-mails. We do love hearing from you! Thank goodness, it is still fairly easy to send new entries for this blog. It is written offline and only takes a few minutes to send. Keep your fingers crossed that the blog will continue to behave so well
