Esperanca 1st March

Arrived before 8 a.m. this morning, not much to see, cheated my way out on an early tender boat and bought a senseless 5$~ticket for a shuttle bus, traveled with it just to the little museum and then walked back to get on my tour bus. Walked around the little town to wait for my afternoon excursion down to sandy, sunny beaches.

Had a lovely lunch in Domes with free WiFi.

At 1.30 p.m. our tour bus took us first to mermaid leather, specialist in fish and shark leather (www.mermaidleather.com.au) and then to an artist creating glass decoration and jewelery.

After that the bus went down Ocean road, dropped us first off at Twilight Beach, then Sandy Beach and to a look-out to have a lovely view on the city of Esperanca and our ship. Lovely white beaches! Lovely, expensive villas at this coast.

Than I had a glass of white wine and an espresso at the pier before hopping on the last tender to bring me back to ship.

Tomorrow it is sea day to finish my suitcase and to leave the ship on 3rd March in Perth.
