We have been having an unbelievable experience down here in Australia! We left for our three day excursion on Dec. 8th and it is now Dec. 10th where I am. I will give you all a little hint. It is an island near Australia and it is the most southern island that I will ever get to visit in my lifetime as I doubt that I will ever get to Antarctica! Never say never, though, especially after what has happened to us!
We are being treated like royalty here and have our own entourage of people who bring us from one place to another. After arriving at the airport, we were driven in cars to our hotel rooms at Stewart's Bay Lodge. It took a long time to get there as we had to stop and be filmed all along the way. We had a private dinner, music and gifts(lots of them) and then fell asleep looking at the southern cross in the sky.
Yesterday, the 9th of Dec. we toured on the southern ocean by motor boat and saw a whale, dolphins, seals and an albatross!! The wing span of an albatross is incredible!! See if you can find out just how long it is by the time I get back!
After touring by boat, we got off at Port Arthur to have a picnic lunch on the top of a hill overlooking the water. Flat Stanley was with me all day yesterday and I will show you just a glimpse of what he enjoyed!
Lunch at the top of a hill and dinner at the Art Museum in Hobart, the capital city.
