Better late than never and with help from our friends on board we are now up and running with our Blog.... We’re really enjoying our wonderful sea voyage from Sydney to Dover, England (53 days) on the “Dawn Princess”. Our sea days are very busy and are spent either relaxing by the pool, walking the Promenade Deck, playing table tennis/cards/bingo/trivia, going to dance lessons/destination lectures/great shows and of course EATING morning, noon and night, with lots of great friends.
It’s been fairly smooth sailing with a few ‘wobbly’ days along the way, a little slower than normal as on Day 3 we had a generator malfunction, which the experts are still working on.... Due to this problem, we have unfortunately missed a couple of ports so far (Abu Dhabi & Muscat – went to Salalah in Oman instead) and spent less time in others but we are still seeing new countries and having a great time.
DARWIN – our first port of call after 5 days at sea, we tied up alongside their new port complex, comprising of apartment blocks, restaurants, shops, a beach area, as well as a separate wave beach – all very impressive. Having been there before and seen the sights, we stayed in town catching up with emails, friends, shopping and having lunch at the Speakers Cafe, Parliament House.
