MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

He is risen!  He is risen indeed!  We celebrated the resurrection of Jesus yesterday, as today was a port day and we had a great trip planned.  There were over 100 people at the Church service.

Today's trip was wonderful!  We took a bus (just 36 people)from the port to the Puffing Billy Steam Train.  We went through the mountains by train for 6 km, then back to the bus, and a ride to an old winery for lunch.  It was more than lunch, however; there was roast beef dinner and all the trimmings!

Finally, the highlight event--2 hours at Healseville Sanctuary for Australian animals.  The animals are in natural settings and it is spacious.  We could not see everything in 2 h, but we made a good effort.  I have some great photos!

We were back on the ship in time for Easter dinner.  It was rack of lamb, so although we'd already had a dinner, we could not resist!  Now we are traversing the Tasman Sea on the way to Burnie, Tasmania, and the sea is rough, as we expected.  Tomorrow is another port and another story for you!

g'day!
