Sun Princess

Alan and I got up early to get pictures of the jetty at low tide around 7am. Alan's car wouldn't start so took mine for a drive to the port. The tide was so low that there was no water for the first half of the jetty, a distance of 400mt (see 1st picture). We took photos and talked to the fishermen on the jetty who had their lines busted off by rather large fish.

Back at the caravan Alan rang for roadside assistance which arrived soon thereafter but the car had to go back into the workshop by tow truck. The workshop is very busy but will hopefully fix the car tomorrow.

Later in the morning we left to go back to the port and watch the arrival of Sun Princess, a large cruise liner with over 2000 passengers. There were lots of people and media out to watch the spectacle which happened just on high tide around midday.

I took a few more photos of the jetty at high tide (see 2nd picture) to get a comparison with the low tide. On the way back we had a couple of quick shopping stops including the purchase of local frozen Mango (not in season). The frozen Mango makes a fantastic desert and is very good for smoothies.

Back at the caravan we spent the afternoon relaxing but didn't have enough time to go to the swimming pool. In the evening our German friends, (Uwe and Beate) called in to say hello and catch up on some more travel information. By the end of the night the 1kg pack of frozen Mango's was gone and we've also finished our tub of ice cream - looks like we need a shopping trip tomorrow.
