| At the port of Freemantle |
 |
| Walking down the streets reminded me of my home town of Marshall, Texas. |
 |
| Many sculptures and this Ferris-wheel along the boardwalk area. |
It is famous for the largest convict-built prison in Australia. Guess the prisoners were excited about designing and building their own home? NOT! Freemantle also supports the arts and wine industry. Freo is Australian slang for Freemantle and is at the fishing and boating pier and is very popular with locals as a night out for dining and entertainment.
 |
| This guy, Bon Scott, made his home in Freemantle at a young age and came to be famous with the AC/DC band. |
Our day today was set to get to Target and buy some shorts that fit. We don’t even have to unbutton our shorts anymore. Just pull them suckers right off! We also needed more coffee for our room so had find another local grocery to pick up some.
 |
| This was a bike park for kids to play |
It was a beautiful day and we spent a few hours walking the streets and shopping. After returning to the ship, we talked about our Asian destinations. We have determined we have until the first part of June to make a decision on our trip to Singapore, Vietnam and China.
 |
| Beautiful hotel. |
We have two cruises and a total of two months planned in that region beginning in September. We will make the decision before we pay our final payments on the Bering Sea, Japan, Tokyo and Singapore cruises.
 |
| Many fishing boats located here |
But, where do we go? It seems the Coronavirus has spread just about everywhere although not as concentrated as the Asian market. We’ll be thinking a lot about that over the next several months.
 |
| Signs are starting to appear in cruise ports and airports about the Coronavirus |
Hopefully it will not be a pandemic since they are fighting hard against it. We hope it doesn’t spoil our plans but if it does, we’ll just change and come back when it’s safe.
 |
| New friends, Elaine and her husband in Australia that love to travel as much as we do. |
Well, its off to another destination. I think our next stop is Esperance, Australia. Looking forward to seeing more that Australia has to offer.
