Welcome all to my fabulous home town, we've put on a wonderful morning for you, not sure it's going to stay that way as it's forecasted to get windy later. I hope everyone has a great day, unfortunately I'm stuck over the hill working all day! I am going to a Princess cruise presentation after work, to drink wine and wave goodbye as she heads back out.

Im not on the ship but what would be the attractions for a cruise ship passager.

 I did a road trip there 20 years ago and love the area. Especially the seafood.

I did swimming with the Tuna on a cruise there a few years back, though unfortunately that's moved on now.

Did they can it ?

One of my favourite places.  Free shuttle buses into town and what a lovely little town it is just to walk along the promenade/beach or browse the local shops.  Stop for coffee or seafood.  Residents are so welcoming and cruise visitors feel special.  First time there some years ago I did a full day trip to Whalers Way I think it was called (the Rugged Coast).  Loved it.  Plenty for sea food lovers but I love the unspoiled natural beauty of the coastline.

Boom tish.

 

In reality, they moved it on to Victor Harbor.

So at the moment we have Golden, Ruby, Majestic, Sea and Sun Princess in Australian waters.

 

That's five out of eighteen. I wonder what the record is?

Cheers for the pics David,  I went for the tuna throwing festival (Australia Day weekend) and cam a creditable 5th despite being beaten by around 20 metres.

It was a hot and windy day.

 

we missed Kangaroo Island as was too rough to tender.

 

Now in Adelaide where 1000 passengers are getting off today. We are doing a tour this afternoon to wildlife park

Sorry Chiliburn, I've only just seen this. I think there is lots to see and experience, depending on the interests of the visitor. I know they run a hop on/hop off loop that stops at various places around town, including parks, museums and seafood eateries.

 

There are also lots of tours on offer, including swimming with sea lions, visits to oyster farms, visits to national parks and koala sanctuary areas. There are always markets on, showcasing local talent and the walk from the ship to the markets along our beautiful beach, with it's sculptures of Makybe Diva and the recent addition of the Tuna Poler is fabulous as well! There are also a number of friendly pubs with outdoor seating across the road from the beach for a nice meal and a frothy if that takes your fancy!

I didn’t realise you were on the same cruise as us, Sarah. We joined in Adelaide! We’re in E219 if you want to say g’day.
