Church in Fremantle

One of the main shopping streets

Tea House where we had a bite to eat

My Steak Pie
Good evening from Perth/Fremantle, Australia
Today we docked in Fremantle.  Perth is a 15 minute train ride away.  We decided to just see what Fremantle had to offer.  We took the Shuttle bus into the town it was about 5 minutes away.  And we walked up and down the streets in and out of shops.  They even have a Target here!  Bought some toiletries I am afraid we might run out of and don't want to be in china without toothpaste or deodorant,  We then stopped in a Tea House and had a bite to eat.  After lunch we headed back to the ship around 2pm.  I had to take my advil and lie down.  My hip really start to hurt last night and was continuing to hurt.  I think maybe my shuffle board the other day I moved different from what I normally do anyway I actually slept for about an hour and then read till it was time for dinner.

Augusto made us a Casaer  Salad and a great pasta dish.  Tonight there is really no entertainment as we are still docked and lots of people are off the ship!  We decided not to go to the movie as we have a really really early tour tomorrow.  We are going into Perth, then to the National Park and 4x4 in the Sand Dunes!  We are in the Western part of Australia and it is not very populated here.  Today a lot of the big shots from NYK Shipping line which is the owner of Crystal where touring the ship.  There was a lot of bowing going on.  I hear when we get to Japan there will be even more.  Guess they need to check on their investment.  We had a nice day today but I really would have liked to have had an overnight in Melbourne instead of here.  There just doesn't seem to be that much to see and do.  I am not into seeing anymore prisons and that seems to be what all Australian Cities have!  The people are just so friendly.

We have an all day tour tomorrow from 7:50am to 4:30 and then at 7:45pm we have a World Cruise affair to go to Called Pan Am Mania.  Tonight when we returned to our cabin after dinner we each got a magnetic pin like the wings of Pan Am.  So I if I am not too tired tomorrow evening I will post all about our tour and our World Cruise event if not it will have to wait until the next day.
Hope all is well with you.  Not hearing from too many of you.
Good night and God Bless!
