Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi - Australia Day on the Dawn Princess and Mare!

| Mare - this is where we tender to |
We've been to Mare a couple of times, there's isn't much here although they have done quite a bit of work to their roads and footpaths. There's a new boardwalk near the dock and a lot of new tarmac and paving. I think due to the amount of cruise ships that are starting to come here they are able to spend money on their roads etc which I hope is a good thing for them. There aren't any tours available here except for buses that take you to a beach. It's approx 20 minutes away and is meant to be lovely. We haven't been there as generally we're all beached out by the time we've gotten to Mare. The bus is $18.95pp although Kathy & Trent said they only paid $5 to a local. Just ensure they get you back as well!

| Markets |
Mum and I walked around for a bit, checked out the small markets, got our passport stamped ($2 which seems to be the normal price) and then headed back to the ship. The water looks absolutely gorgeous and there were a lot of people swimming just near to where the tenders dock plus down a bit further there are a few places you can walk down to the water. Just be a bit careful as it's not a beach so can be a bit rocky with lots of sharp coral. Pretty though.

Back on board we did what we usually do and had afternoon tea on our balcony - I could get use to this!
