Day 81 of our World cruise.  March 26, 2025.

Our position today is docked in Fremantle, Australia.  A suburb of Perth, Western Australia.

The blue dot of course is our location.  The red marker is where the tiny Asian nation of Maldives is.  Maldives is the next stop of our cruise after a seven day sea-day run across the Indian Ocean.  However,  we decided to jump on an airplane in Perth and fly to Maldives in one day and check into a local over the water hut resort and let the ship pick us up on the eighth day. 

Today, our first day in Fremantle, we went ashore and used Australia’s wonderful public transportation system, a train, and went out of town to the famous Caversham Wild Animal Park.  Had an amazing time seeing and touching the native animals.

Back at the ship we were treated to a local show. The Perth Highland Pipe Band.
