Greetings from FREMANTLE or FREO as the locals call it! Getting here took a long week at Sea, as we hid out and dodged wave surges from two cyclone systems. Our departure from Adelaide was timed to carefully avoid the path of Cyclone Narelle and we hugged the southern coastline of Australia, in the shallow waters of the Great Australian Bight. Later in the week we sheltered near Point Culver, before taking the turn and heading North along the western coastline.
Above shows the path of Cyclone Narelle and the Itinerary changes we needed to make to keep safe and also deal with the scacity of fuel, as many countries, like Australia, shut down their supplies to non domestic users.
My first view of the Harbor on this lovely Saturday, April 4th afternoon. Watching the gangway being lowered into
place with the local shipyard staff and our Security officers.
The Port of Singapore is massive and thus deserving of it's own post!
Right next to the Flower Dome in Gardens by the Bay is the Cloud Forest Dome .They sell the entry tickets as a joint package. The Cloud Forest currently has a special exhibit, Jurassic World The Experience incorporated into the forest.
Sunday, May 17th in Singapore was the last day for Tulip Mania at the Flower Dome in Gardens by the Bay . Sheri joined me in passion for flowers and we headed over to explore on our last port day here.
