We weren’t in any rush to head out today seeing our tour was cancelled due to “Operational Reasons”. But whilst sitting out the back eating breakfast and watching the rain pour down we decided there was absolutely no rush at all... Eventually the weather settled enough for us to head down to board a tender and start our day.... Unfortunately, just as we arrived at the marina so did the heavier rain... We decided to not take the boardwalk around to the town so we wouldn’t get so wet, instead we caught the shuttle bus ($5 return)... little did we know that the drop off point was at the other end of town so we were still faced with the task of getting into town with no cover. I think we did well with the elements against us and in the end we decided would get wet no matter if we walked the boardwalk or walked back to the bus... so we decided walk back to the marina.... and we weren’t disappointed... to reward ourselves we stopped at Sorrento Restaurant and Bar and sat on the balcony for a glass of wine and bowl of hot chips... Back on the tender which for today was one of the local catamarans, and back on the ship for a well deserved hot shower and bowl of soup...
Oh and as a side note..... now I hate admit this but we were back on board in time for afternoon trivia..... and I would never of mentioned this .... except “WE WON” .....
Ah, Cascade Premium Light Beer! Discovered that last October going around Oz on the Dawn Princess. Something light that's actually worth drinking. Miss it now that we're back in the States. Too bad you were on shore cuz that means it isn't on the Ocean Princess, or is it?
