We best put the skates on!

A look at the map of Australia has revealed that we are a long way from home, with 2 weeks to go, mmmm we may have to start getting up early & Annie may have to forgo coffee in bed, every morning, we may even have to set a new record for distance travelled in a day, not normally more than 300km.

Anyway Albany is a beautiful place. Much to see & do, would love more time here but we must move on.
A bit like the prom with a city in it. "A story", we had been at Whale world which was gruesome but interesting, Annie & I had finished the tour & 3d movie then we wandered up to the top of one of the tanks that not so long ago would have had 21,000 gallons of whale oil in it. We were standing there marveling at the view when we noticed a southern Wright whale, sneaking up on some fishermen. "Jesus Blue is that your breath"? Asks one.

"No it's not my breath", completely oblivious to the 40 tonne fish that they could hook up at any moment. All of this unfolded about 200 meters from where there had been 24,000 whales dragged ashore cut up & cooked.

"Get the net Blue I am on to a big one"!
We had best be off now. See you all soon.
