Saturday the 1st of November, Rhonda, Angela, Lorraine, Judy, Jenny and myself went for a 6 day cruise to the Melbourne Cup. The weather was not kind the first night we sailed, with 60 knot winds and 4-6 metre swells.

It was so windy, no one was able to go up on the top deck, furniture was tied down and the wind was icy cold, felt like we were going to the South Pole.
Reaching Melbourne on Monday morning the seas were calm and everyone was feeling better, a good day out shopping was on the agenda. Heaps of shops we went through much better than shopping in Nowra. So much to choose from. A great day was had by all. Back onto the ship for our meal & more dancing yippeee
Melbourne Cup day,
P&O cruises organised buses to transport everyone from the cruise ships to the Melbourne Cup, so no worries about trying to find our way through the busy streets of Melbourne

| The day was coming to an end |
Might have to do a week with girls, shopping and checking out the Melbourne Sites in a few years. Another holiday for the calender, that's why the time is going so fast, we are filling it up with different outings. Hawaii next (2016)
On our way back up the east coast was quite a contrast to the trip down, smooth sailing all the way, that's the way I like it.

This was a fantastic trip, I would definately recommend this cruise. P&O certainly know how to look after their guests, great food, fabulous entertainment and great friends made this a special trip. A special trip for Jenny as we all helped to celebrate her birthday, Happy Birthday to a good friend. xx
