Sunday, March 1. Lovely Day. 26 C.
The day went as planned. Lyn picked us up at the Port Gate in her snappy new Red Mazda. Within 1/2 hour we were sitting in Keith and Jenny's living room as if we saw them last month instead of six years ago.
Lyn had picked up some appropriate Australian pastries and sandwiches for those so inclined. The pastries were of a common kind in Australia but not in North America The conversation, although short, was lively. The Stafford's had met Lyn some time ago, twice in fact I believe and is a good mixer, so the time was easy.
Before we knew it it was time to let Keith and Jenny get on with their day so we were on our way. Lyn took us on a very long scenic drive around Melbourne where she has basically lived all her life. We also went by Rod and Lyn's earlier home in Melbourne, and the place she worked while living in it. We had a very pleasant time with Lyn, who drove 1 1/2 hours each way today to do this for us today. Thank you Lyn!
We ended up at a quaintsy little shop where Lyn and I had milkshakes and Fellette had a Ginger Ale and something else that was very refreshing. I only mention this to let you know that things are similar but different here in the Land of Oz.
As we were having Lifeboat Drill near sailing time, it rained for some time but fizzled out as we headed to sea and Tasmania before ending our a Australian part of the cruise in Sydney on Saturday.
An Excellent Day!
