Today we landed in Fremantle, our third Western Australia port of call. As we had last spent time in Perth earlier this year we did not venture in to the capital city, but instead decided to stay and enjoy the atmosphere and sights this very scenic port. Established in 1829, the city has many beautiful old buildings. This time we went to the World Heritage listed Fremantle Prison and also spent time in the Shipwreck Galleries where the wreck of the Batavia figures largely. Another bonus today over our visit earlier in the year was that the Fremantle Markets were open. Such a pity we are food-saturated from the cruise boat. The local food stalls were very tantalising and mangoes were in abundance for very cheap prices.

All these land excursions have been tiring. We are looking forward to our three full sea days coming up between here and Bali.
