Please Vote Neelix (245612) * COTD * Mon. March 25
Neelix is a very handsome seven year old tabby who was rescued along with his brother when he was a tiny kitten abandoned in a parking lot. Since that tiny kitten was adopted by his loving pawrents he has trained them to be excellent staff for himself and his brothers. Regarding his brothers, Hedley and Jakar, the three of them comprise the famous (or perhaps infamous) “pawty animals”. These boys are always the life of any party, they create lots of fun at every MHL Mouse Hockey Game, and they are always the first to lend a paw on any project that benefits the CC community. They’re always there to offer comfort to the sad, good thoughts and healing wishes to the sick and congratulations to those who are celebrating. Neelix and his family always support the COTD and COTM candidates. They are a credit to the CC community!
Neelix is an outstanding member of our CC family, and since both of his brothers already have their very own COTD badges, it seems that it is time for Neelix to have one of his own. Won’t you please drop by and give this handsome guy a vote, on Monday so he can have the badge he so much deserves.
Just a reminder, please keep those COTM votes rolling for Trixie (172636) so this Beautiful and talented Kitty, can wear the March COTM crown as our Queen. Remember to let her know how much fun it’s been sharing her wonderful blogs about Zoos, amazing heroic animals and unusual animal pals. Also, please remember to stop in to visit our current COTM, Queen Josie Mae (193862), Please be sure to let her know much we appreciated her homespun hillbilly wisdom, on superstitions and first aid, but especially let her know how much we appreciate her great kindness and empathy for those who are ill, or in mourning.
Finally, on behalf of the whole CMR team, this is Pete and the Girls, and Princess and Sib's, thanking you for your continued support of the CMR’s special recognition COTD campaigns & our remarkable COTM candidates

We arise very early to head out ...
surfing at Kahaluu Beach. Surfing was at one time literally the "Sport of Kings" in Hawaii, reserved only for royalty. Today we can either watch this exciting sport from the safety of the shore or experience the rush of catching a wave ourselves by taking a surfing lesson. We are told that experienced instructors will take first-timers to safe breaks and get them on their feet and “riding the waves” within a two-hour lesson. Those of us who are novices race to be first in line … only to find there are enough instructors to teach all. What fun this promises to be.

Another prominent form of surfing in the ocean today includes bodyboarding, which refers to when a surfer rides a wave on the belly on a bodyboard which is shorter than a surfboard and usually made of a lighter material. Some of our group prefer to “ride the waves” in this manner. Most of the ladies choose this.

And then there’s bodysurfing, the act of surfing a wave without a board, is considered by some to be the purest form of surfing. Soon K. Steve, Ernie, Bart, Tucker and that Darn Bee Gee have mastered the art and are entertaining all with their antics. The rest of the furrfellows decide to attempt this as well, with varying results … most of which are quite entertaining.

Our instructors tell us the Guinness Book of World Records recognized a 78 foot (23.8 m) wave ride by Garrett McNamara at Nazaré, Portugal as the largest wave ever surfed. This has us eyeing the 15 foot waves we’ve been attacking and trying to imagine a wave more than 5 times higher. Gulp.

A picnic on the beach and then we are on our way to experience a real submarine tour! We board a boat which takes us out to the submarine. Once there we climb down into the viewing area, which consists of seats facing portholes, pretty much like at a Disney park. But this is a REAL SUBMARINE and we were soon diving into the habitat of countless, exotic sea creatures. Gazing through our spacious viewports, we exchange glances with hundreds of fish of different species dwelling in the waters off the coast of the island. The dive site is about 130 feet deep with coral formations and artificial reefs with sunken ships and airplanes. We see a shark, lots of colorful reef fish, sting rays and green sea turtles. The tour guide assigned to our submarine is not only knowledgeable but also very informative of every marine life in the deep ocean. She points out to us every fish species we encounter.

Before we know it the 45 minute tour has ended and once our submarine surfaces we disembark and board the awaiting shuttle boat to take us back to shore. This was definitely a worthwhile and enjoyable experience.

When we arrive back at our ship, we find the captain has arranged for us to have a late supper. We dine on all manner of fresh fish caught here in the waters right off the island. What a day this has been, and we spend the next few hours reliving it with our dear furriends. See a picture of a sea turtle on my page.

The second day on Hawaii ...
… we will visit someplace a bit different. We are headed for the Seahorse Farm near Kona where they have over 2000 seahorses and are currently breeding over 15 different species characteristically unique shape, from the horsey looking head down to the long, curling tail. Then there’s the seahorses’ covering, a delicate skin stretched over bony plates rather than regular scales.

Before we begin our seahorse adventure, we need to make something purrfectly clear: Seahorses are for viewing, NOT for snacking.

Once inside we discover that Seahorses come in a variety of colors, with some species even changing their hue to match their surroundings. The Seahorse is a truly unique marine animal. At first glance, one might not even know a seahorse is a fish, with their unique upright posture. They have a distinctive long, tube-shaped snout with a prehensile tail that grabs onto corals and plants. Their jaws are small and only allow enough room to suck in small pieces of food. Seahorses are part of the family Syngnathidae, which also includes Sea Dragons and Pipefish. There are currently thought to be 80 species of seahorses found throughout the world’s oceans. They range in size from just over 1cm for pygmy seahorses and up to 14 inches for the Pot Belly Seahorse. This seahorse farm was the first one in the world and is the only one in the US. The guided tour lasts about an hour, the guide showing us various tanks where we watch them swim, hook tails and dance. We learn that sea horses mate for life. Beautiful, fascinating and mysterious, the seahorse is a fish like no other.

Next we visit Pana`ewa Rainforest Zoo, which is very unique; it is the only natural tropical rainforest zoo in the United States. It is home to more than 80 species of animals! First we take a regal walk amidst peacocks in tropical gardens. We then head for encloses where we see the binturong, giant anteaters, 'Io (Hawaiian hawk), white Bengal tiger, and lemurs galore. There are lush and exotic plants providing perches for beautifully colored birds. We enjoy our picnic lunch which we eat on benched tables; after which we enjoy ice cream bars from the zoo snack shop.

And now, off to the beach! Many Big Island beaches are among the best you will find anywhere, period. This is especially true along the sunny west coast. Mauna Kea - Kauna'oa Beach is a beautiful, long crescent of fine white sand with crystal-clear water; one of the favorite beaches on the Big Island. It offers excellent swimming and snorkeling, and has full facilities. We throw our towels onto the sand, strip down to bathing suits, and race into the water … warm, soothing, and a great place to unwind.

We choose to linger until the sun begins to drop below the horizon. Awesome. The colors are unlike anything we’ve yet seen on our Round the World Cruise. This was definitely worth waiting for. See pics of seahorses on my page.

We have reached our destination...
Hawaii … The Big Island. It is the furthest south of any in the island chain, and it's larger than all the other islands put together. It is also a place where one can ski in the daytime and walk barefoot in a warm sea at sundown. We will spend a couple of days at least exploring all it has to offer. The island is the youngest in the Hawaiian chain. It provides a vast canvass of environments to discover a variety of unrivaled natural wonders: the tallest sea mountain in the world at 33,000 feet – Maunakea; and the most massive mountain in the world - Maunaloa.

Watch the landscape change before your very eyes at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Located 30 miles southwest of Hilo is Kilauea volcano, one of the most active volcanoes on earth. It has been erupting since January 3rd, 1983. The chance to witness the primal process of creation and destruction make this park one of the most popular visitor attractions in Hawaii. January 2013 marked the 30th anniversary of the beginning of Kilauea’s eruptions. Volcanoes are monuments to Earth's origin, evidence that its primordial forces are still at work. During a volcanic eruption, we are reminded that our planet is an ever-changing environment whose basic processes are beyond human control. As much as we have altered the face of the Earth to suit our needs, we can only stand in awe before the power of an eruption.

Hawaii emerged from the sea millions of years ago, forged by the power of volcanoes. Loihi is located underwater off the southern coast of Hawaii Island. Erupting since 1996, this emerging seamount may break the surface in about 250,000 years, adding a ninth island to the Hawaiian chain.

Today we will be taken by helicopter to view Kilauea. We gather our cameras and courage and hop aboard. Within a short time, we arrive at area adjacent to the volcano. Keeping a safe distance, the helicopter circles the area, allowing us to take many pictures and to see how massive this natural wonder truly is. Not a steep-sided volcano, as we thought it would be, but rather spreading out and comprising approximately half of the island of Hawaii, we realize this thing is BIG.

Our next stop is Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory – We’ve seen the blue cans and boxes in the shops; now we visit the source. We take a self-guided tour of the factory, watching in one area how the nuts are blanketed with chocolate. We then enter a room where there are samples for us to try. We taste the macadamia nuts plain, salted, in brittle and covered in milk chocolate. In the gift shop, we purchase some of our favorites to take back to the ship.

Back to the ship for dinner with the Captain. Once in our rooms for the night, we talk of what we’ve seen and experienced, and munch on our macadamia treats. A quick face wash to clean our whiskers of chocolate and other sweet traces, then into our beds where we fall quickly asleep.

THE STORY OF THE CHRISTMAS ROBIN
The Christmas night was extremely cold and a cold breeze blew constantly into the stable where Mother Mary lay with her infant, Jesus. The fire in the stable, the only source of heat for the baby, was about to go off and all that Mary could do was call the surrounding animals for help. She asked the sleeping ox, lazy donkey, horse and the sheep, but they were either of no use or just refused to help. Suddenly, Mary heard the flapping sound of wings. A robin had heard Mother Mary's cry for help and had flown to the stable to help her out. The robin flapped his wings hard at the dying embers of fire until the fire was rekindled and became bright red. He fanned continuously, flapping hard so that the fire never went out and kept the baby warm. To ensure that the fire stayed alive, the robin used his beak and dropped some dry sticks in the fire. This caused the fire to rise abruptly and it burnt the breast of the bird. Despite the burns that he received, the bird didn't bother and continued fanning so that the infant could be kept warm for long enough to sleep comfortably. Mother Mary heartily thanked the robin for his efforts and tenderly looked at his breast that was now red with the burns and blessing him for his deed of valor and selflessness.

The Hawaiian Islands ...
Palm trees swaying in tropical breezes, waterfalls dropping from breathtaking heights, flowers that look like birds and birds that look like flowers. No wonder they call it paradise. But where did they originate?

The Hawaiian Islands are volcanic in origin. Each island is made up of at least one primary volcano, although many islands are composites of more than one. The Big Island, for instance, is constructed of 5 major volcanoes: Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, Hualalai and Kohala. Mauna Loa is the largest active volcano on Earth. Kilauea is presently one of the most productive volcanoes on Earth (in terms of how much lava it erupts each year). And this is how Hawaii came to be.

Islands mean lots and lots of water … and some of the best snorkeling and diving in the world. The Round the World Cruise Ship is just a day away from port, and the beginning of yet another amazing adventure. We have gear reserved for those who wish to explore the waters around Hawaii, Jeeps standing by for land tours, and helicopters ready to lift us high above the volcanoes for a safe view.

We will visit each of the main islands for a stay of at least five days – we will arrive soon.

BUT FIRST … Our ship’s Captain has given purrmission to redo the Cat/Buttered Toast event. Deck C … for Cat? … has loooooong interior passageways where the stewards have helpfully stretched what seem like acres and acres of heavy plastic for us. The ship’s main chef has come to watch the event … he has kindly provided gallons of melted and slightly cooled butter, and piles of toast. There is a ladder from which we will drop onto the plastic sheeting. Once down, be sure to roll quickly onto your toast and enjoy the ride.

King Steve has gallantly stepped aside to allow Queens to precede him in this endeavor. As there are several of us aboard, we climb the ladder, ready ourselves, then …

… we grab King Steve, strap on his toast and … heave ho … there he goes. He drops … onto his paws of course, rolls onto his toast, and sliiiiiides the length of the passageway … laughing all the way. I knew he’d enjoy this.

The rest of us scamper to the pool deck and stretch out on lounge chairs while we await his arrival. It will be awhile; that was a LOT of butter.

Yes, we are headed for Hawaii and No, none of the volcanoes is erupting. See a pic of the islands on my page. A true-color satellite view of Hawaii shows that most of the vegetation on the islands grows on the north-east sides which face the wind. The silver glow around the south-west of the islands is the result of calmer waters.

Victoria ...
... at the south-east corner of Australia, is the smallest mainland state. Tasmania sits to its south. The most densely-populated state, its capital and largest city is Melbourne, where our ship docks.

From here we head out to the Melbourne Cricket Ground which is the largest stadium in Australia, and the host of the 1956 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XVI Olympiad. An exception was the equestrian events, which could not be held in Australia due to quarantine regulations. Instead, those events were held five months earlier in Stockholm, Sweden, marking the second time that events of the same Olympics were held in different countries. (At the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium, one sailing event had been held in Dutch waters because of water quality). The 1956 Games were the first to be staged in the Southern Hemisphere, as well as the first to be held outside Europe and North America. It was in swimming that the Australians really shone. They won all of the freestyle races, men's and women's, and collected a total of eight gold, four silver and two bronze medals. United States men dominated track and field. They not only won 15 of 24 events, they swept four of them and finished first and second in five others. The crowd was with the Hungarian water polo team in its match against the Soviet Union which became known as the Blood In The Water match. The game became rough and, when a Hungarian was forced to leave the pool with blood streaming from a cut over his eye, a riot almost broke out. But police restored order and the game was called early, with Hungary leading 4–0. The Hungarians went on to win the gold medal. Despite the international tensions of 1956 – or perhaps because of them – a young Melburnian, John Ian Wing, came up with a new idea for the closing ceremony. Instead of marching as teams, behind their national flags, the athletes mingled with one another as they paraded into and around the arena for a final appearance before the spectators. That began an Olympic tradition that has been followed ever since. We stand in the center of this enormous stadium, imagining what it would be like to have competed here. Galaxy and Verona are running the track; Hercules hovering above them. Oh, my family. Sassy and Sam think it would have been nice to watch the swimming and diving events. We will not, however, visit that venue, although the pool is still in use. Steve has found a large wooden container and is standing on it in a victory pose. Soon, Steve, soon.

Victoria (cont'd)
One of Victoria’s most stunning natural features are The Twelve Apostles, a collection of limestone stacks off the shore of the Port Campbell National Park. The site is a popular tourist attraction. The apostles were formed by erosion: the harsh weather conditions from the Southern Ocean gradually eroded the soft limestone to form caves in the cliffs, which then became arches, which in turn collapsed; leaving rock stacks up to 148 feet high. The name of the site sticks despite only ever having nine stacks. Our cameras get a lot of use here. What a gorgeous place.

We head next to see the Little Penguins which are the smallest species of penguin. Little Penguins have several common names; they are also referred to as Fairy Penguins because of their tiny size. Like those of all penguins, their wings have developed into flippers used for swimming. They typically grow to 12 to 13 inches tall and usually weigh about 3½ pounds. The head and upperparts are blue in colour, with slate-grey ear covers fading to white underneath, from the chin to the belly. The flippers are blue, and the feet pink above with black soles and webbing. Galaxy and Verona are waddling about like the penguins. Oh my goodness, Sam and Hercules are doing the same. My family!!! Naturally, I take pictures of them all.

Like most seabirds, they have a long lifespan. The average for the species is 6.5 years, but there have been very exceptional cases up to 25 years in captivity. Little Penguins live year-round in large colonies, with each individual breeding pair forming a burrow in which to raise their chicks (of which two are born at a time, usually about 2 days apart). Little Penguins typically return to their colonies to feed their chicks at dusk. The birds will tend to come ashore in small groups to provide some defense against predators which might pick off individuals one by one. In Australia, the strongest colonies are usually on cat-free and fox-free islands. We are fortunate to have been given special permission to visit here. A viewing area has been set up at the Phillip Island Nature Park where we watch the nightly "penguin parade". Lights and concrete stands have been erected to allow us to see but not photograph the birds interacting in their colony.

We head back to the ship, knowing we will be pulling out of port in a few hours. There are pics at the bottom of my page. Soon we will experience yet another adventure.

South Australia's capitol city Adelaide ...
… was voted Australia’s most livable city. It’s also the gateway to the unique and iconic Kangaroo Island, today’s destination.

Minutes from the mainland, Kangaroo Island is a sanctuary for wildlife and natural, rugged beauty. This place is like a zoo without fences, with rare bird life, wallabies, and plenty of kangaroos and koalas. We make landfall at dusk since wildlife is most active at this time. We are thrilled to find that Penguins can be seen on shore after dark; many of them have graced us with their presence. The youngsters are especially excited to see penguins so close. They say they feel like they are IN the zoo.

After a night spent in tents, we discover koalas in the trees. Like other marsupials, a koala mother carries her baby in a pouch until it is large enough to ride on her back or belly. What adorable things they are.

A short ride in a Jeep has brought us to yet another fun spot. We are going to try Sand-boarding at Little Sahara. All of the guys and some of us girls have decided to try this one. The sand dunes are quite high and the ride down on a sand-board is exhilarating. Just don’t wipe out; that sand is not a comfortable landing zone at speed. It will take some time to comb the sand from our fur but, oh, it was so worth it.

On the way back, our Jeep passes a number of kangaroos and wallabies. We don’t stop though, as they can be a bit aggressive. This is spring in the Southern Hemisphere, and there are definitely joeys (baby kangaroos) in their mothers’ pouches.

We finish this day diving in the clear blue waters around Kangaroo Island where we see seals and many other marine creatures including the famous Leafy Sea Dragon, 8 – 10 inch creatures which look like seahorses covered in fall leaves.

Finally, we make a stop at Clifford's Honey Farm where we taste an interesting sparkling honey drink. While here we see a hive and a DVD showing how honey is harvested. In the shop area are lots of honey products and souvenirs. For 20c you can have a piece of cat safe chocolate covered honeycomb, which Galaxy and Verona try. Soon we are all enjoying the sweet repast.

Back to the mainland. Another adventure is scheduled for tomorrow. See pics of koalas, sea dragons & Soon-to-Be-King Steve sandboarding on my page. Yep, that's him.

Western Australia ...
... offers some of the most varied travel experiences.
We have pulled into Perth. Our explorations here will take us from an artificial reef to Tree Tops. Are you ready to begin?

The HMAS Swan dive wreck is one of Western Australia’s most spectacular artificial reefs; a mecca for scuba divers. The former destroyer escort was scuttled in 12/97 - but really this was just the beginning of the Swan’s new life as a world class dive wreck. Since she was scuttled thousands from all over the world have dived her. This is an extremely successful artificial reef and dive site. Anyone that has dived the Swan can honestly say it is mind blowing and diving at its very best! Several of our guests have opted to don mask, fins, and tanks, and … wait a minute, Steve … we are going in pairs!

Once below the surface we can see she was sunk in an upright position. The wreck now has an abundance of marine life and is rapidly establishing itself as a bountiful artificial reef. We explore inside and out, keeping our partner in sight at all times. Ummmm … Hecules? Where are you? Oh, you silly … sneaking up behind me.

Back on dry land, we head inland to the Valley of the Giants Treetop Walk which gives us a bird's eye view of some of the tallest timber giants on Earth - Western Australia's majestic tingle trees. Climbing 131 feet into the forest canopy and meandering through the treetops for 1/3 mile, the walk trail is the first of its kind, designed to maximize views. Most similar canopy walks around the world feature suspension bridge structures, which are not for the faint hearted. The Tree Top Walk however, is a series of 200 feet high light weight steel trusses built on steel pylons to form a secure ramp.

Prince Angel Hercules escorts me onto the bridge, which is not at all frightening. Come along, everyone, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Galaxy follows Hercules’ lead and offers his arm to Verona. What an adorable couple they are. Then youth kicks in and off they go, scampering literally among the treetops.

Adjacent this is a walkway that allows us to enter the Valley of the Giants, the grove of towering old tingle trees. These giants are found nowhere else on Earth and some have been standing for over 400 years. Some of the trees here are up to 52 feet in circumference at the base. Standing beneath these majestic giants, breathing in the cool forest air, is a humbling experience.

We opt to stay for the Forest by Night tour which allows us to enjoy the Tree Top Walk under a canopy of thousands of stars and to see some of the nocturnal creatures that live in the forest. We share our walk with Sassy and Sam; lots of hand holding. MOL!

A tasty repast is ours on the bus trip back to Perth. A good night’s sleep and we will head out for South Australia. Pictures of today’s adventure are on my page.

The Northern Territory ...
…is the least populated of Australia's states and territories. Darwin is its capital city.

Famous for its rich wildlife, it has many national parks. Today we will experience the waterfalls and waterholes, bushwalks, four-wheel drive tracks, birds and wildlife of Litchfield National Park, a convenient day-trip from Darwin.

There are several safe, natural swimming holes, and today we will cool off with a swim in the crystal clear plunge pool under the permanent spring-fed Wangi falls. We’ll then sit and soak in the three-tiered cascades of the rock pools at Buley Rockhole, shaded by rainforest.

For those who prefer to explore the park on foot, lace up your boots and pack swimming gear for a short bushwalk through cypress pines and cycads to the Tolmer Falls viewing platform. The caves in the red cliffs below protect two colonies of rare bats (Mom’s gonna love this). Then stretch your legs and follow the 3.5-km trail along pretty Walker Creek.

If you wish to save your energy, jump in a four-wheel drive vehicle and make your way to the sandstone relics of the Lost City or the uncrowded plunge pool at Tjaynera Falls.

However you choose to explore look out for the hundreds of species of fauna that live in the park. Wallabies, sugar gliders and flying foxes are all common here. And be sure to keep your binoculars handy to spot the Yellow Oriole, Figbird, Pacific Koel, Spangled Drongo, Dollarbird and Rainbow Bee-eater that inhabit sheltered areas close to waterfalls.

Once back in Darwin, we delight in Mindil Beach’s Sunset Markets where we sample international cuisine from 60 food stalls, choosing from Sri Lankan, Turkish, Greek, Cambodian and Japanese. We then eat on the beach while watching the sun sink into the ocean as we enjoy Darwin’s predictable 89.6 degree year-round temperature.

Australia's tropical capital city dines on Asian-influenced food, enjoys an outdoor lifestyle, and the beauty of some of the world's most important natural places on its doorstep. No wonder Lonely Planet listed Darwin as one of the world's top ten cities to visit in 2012.

Later, we shop for a gift or souvenir at art and craft stalls, and treat ourselves to a locally-made ice-cream or mango smoothie as we watch the fire twirlers, musicians and street performers entertain the crowds. A picture of the swimming hole beneath the falls is on my page.

Australia's Great Barrier Reef ...
… the world's largest coral reef, lies a short distance off the north-east coast and extends for over 1,240 miles (2,000 kilometers). There are many species of colorful fish, including the beautiful clown fish … we would need more than one visit to try and count them all. Larger marine species include the migratory gentle whale shark; humpback, southern right and orca whales; numerous dolphin species; and a number of shark species. We have opted to explore this area from a nice sturdy ship today; glass bottom viewing stations will make this possible.

Prince Angel Hercules and I have brought young Galaxy and his girlfurriend Verona down to the glass bottom viewing area. We have seen some incredible sea creatures, admired seamounts that are truly enormous, and an amazing array of corals. Every color in the rainbow is seen in the fish and sea plants; how very lovely. Some of the fish have expressed an interest in us, pressing against the thick viewing plates from time to time. We are amazed to learn there are about 30 species of whales, dolphins and porpoises that live in or visit the reef.

OH MY! A shark has come to the viewing window! Suddenly I have Verona in my lap and Galaxy is hanging around Hercules’ neck for dear life! We assure them this is only a grey reef shark which is harmless. They claim to be reassured, but the two young ones stay a LOT closer to us than the viewing port.

Our guide tells us Australian sharks are now protected but shark populations are decreasing everywhere in the world and we know very little about the consequences because sharks are in the top of the ocean ecosystems’ food chain. In fact we know so little about some most important species of sharks that we cannot even keep them alive in captivity. The Great White Shark is the most infamous of Australian sharks. It is the largest of predatory sharks in the world. Despite having the reputation of “killing machine” (thanks to the Steven Spielberg's movie “Jaws” more than any attacks) the Great White Shark does not target humans as a prey. Galaxy and Verona smile at the guide’s reassurances but continue to stay close to us.

We return to our own lovely ship and enjoy a sumptuous meal, the young ones taking advantage of the buffet service to indulge in many exotic dessert offerings. Okay, I confess. Hercules and I did the same. Tomorrow we will have arrived in Darwin, at the extreme north of the continent. Adventure ashore awaits us. See my page for pictures of a Great White Shark, coral on the reef, a sea turtle and, you can thank Mom for this, chocolate desserts. MOL & HKL!

Hi Angel Sylvia Seville!
I was so happy to read about your ACOTD day. It sounds like you and your Dad had a very special relationship and that is a gift in itself. Memories are a wonderful thing. God bless you sweet angel.

We pull into harbor ...
… at Sydney ... Australia's oldest, largest & most diverse city. Sydney Harbour is widely considered to be one of the world's finest harbours, known for its beauty, & in particular, as the location of the Sydney Opera House & Sydney Harbour Bridge. We line the rails as the ship docks, already anxious to begin our exploration of this city’s famous places.

The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts center. It is one of the 20th century's most distinctive buildings & one of the most famous performing arts centers in the world. The building houses multiple performance venues, four of which are Opera Australia, The Australian Ballet, the Sydney Theatre Company & the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. It is located quite near the Sydney Harbour Bridge which carries rail, auto, bicycle & pedestrian traffic.

Tonight there is a purrformance of Cats at the Opera Centre. A number of us hold tickets for the purrformance & know we must return to the ship in time to change for the show.

We decide to begin by walking across the Sydney Harbour Bridge; a private bus awaits us at the other end. Walking across once is enough, we decide.. But seeing the harbour from the bridge has given us a new perspective; this is a beautiful harbour & there is much to do along its shores.

At the far end, is Bondi Beach which is about one 0.6 miles in length & receives many visitors throughout the year. Surf Life Saving Australia has given different hazard ratings to Bondi Beach in 2004. While the northern end has been rated a gentle 4 (with 10 as the most hazardous), the southern side is rated as a 7 due to a strong rip current. The south end of the beach is generally reserved for surfboard riding. Yellow & red flags define safe swimming areas, & visitors are advised to swim between them.

Late in the afternoon, Prince Angel Hercules & I manage to talk Galaxy & girlfurriend Verona out of the water & back to the ship. We have just enough time to wash the sand from our fur, put on our finest outfits, & head out for dinner before the show. We have chosen Wildfire Restaurant, one of Sydney’s most talked dining establishments. It is popular, vibrant & fun. It features great cuisine, gorgeous harbour views & glamorous interiors. Located directly overlooking The Opera House, it is host to some of the city’s most prestigious events.

After dining on some of the freshest seafood we’ve ever tasted, we take in the purrformance of Cats at The Opera House with a group of furriends, then return to our ship’s cabin floating on air at the day’s & evening’s experiences. Ah, now to rest & dream of what tomorrow might bring. (pictures of The Opera House & Sydney Harbour Bridge are on my page.)

Australia's Animals ...
The unique animals are one of the many reasons people visit Australia. More than 80 per cent of their plants, mammals, reptiles and frogs are unique to Australia and are found nowhere else except zoos. Some of the best-known animals are the kangaroo, koala, echidna, dingo, platypus, wallaby and wombat.

Australia doesn’t have large predatory animals. One predator is the Tasmanian Devil, which is no larger than the size of an average house cat; they can only be seen in the wild in Tasmania. The dingo, or wild dog, is the largest carnivorous mammal and is found all across Australia, except for Tasmania.

Australia has more than 140 species of marsupials, animals which carry their young in pouches. These include kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, and wombats. You should easily be able to see kangaroos in the wild in most rural parts of Australia. In outback regions, you will often see them as they bound across the road. Wallabies are widespread across Australia, particularly in more remote, rocky and rugged areas.

The koala is everyone’s favorite, but be aware – it’s not a bear. You can spot koalas all along Australia’s temperate eastern coast.

Another animal group only found in Australia are the monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. The most distinctive is the platypus, a river-dwelling animal with a bill like a duck, a furry waterproof body and webbed feet. Platypuses live in burrows which they dig into the banks of rivers. They are very shy and difficult to spot; your best chances are in the eastern coastal areas in small streams and quiet rivers.

A vast array of water birds, seabirds and birds dwell in the open woodlands and forests. Examples include cassowaries, black swans, fairy penguins and kookaburras. Kookaburras, best known for their hysterical, human-sounding laughter at dusk and dawn, are common, and you’ll most likely spot (or hear) them in the countryside and often in city suburbs. You can easily see penguins on Kangaroo Island in South Australia and Philip Island in Victoria.

There are 55 species of parrots in Australia, as numerous as they are colorful, including a spectacular variety of cockatoos, rosellas, lorikeets, cockatiels, parakeets and budgerigars. They are commonly seen in rural and urban areas.

There are five species of endangered sea turtles which nest and lay eggs on certain beaches in season; and eight species of freshwater turtle.

The world’s largest coral reef system, the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef, is where there are many species of colorful fish, including the beautiful clown fish … we would need more than one visit to try and count them all. Larger marine species include the migratory gentle whale shark, humpback, southern right and orca whales, the dugong, numerous dolphin species and a number of shark species. Whales can be seen along the east and west coastlines from May to November. Kangaroo Island is one of the best places to see Australian fur seals in the wild.

Down Under ...
We are sailing towards our next destination … Australia. We will spend at least six days there, exploring the various areas and their flora and fauna.

Australia is surrounded by the Indian and Pacific oceans, and the Tasman Sea lying between Australia and New Zealand. The world's smallest continent and sixth largest country by total area, Australia—owing to its size and isolation—is often dubbed the "island continent", and is sometimes considered the world's largest island.

Australia's size gives it a wide variety of landscapes, with subtropical rain forests in the north-east, mountain ranges in the south-east, south-west and east areas, and a dry desert in its center. It is the flattest continent, with the oldest and least fertile soils; desert or semi-arid land commonly known as the outback makes up by far the largest portion of land. Mount Augustus, claimed to be the world's largest monolith, is located in Western Australia. The driest inhabited continent, only its south-east and south-west corners have a temperate climate. The population density is among the lowest in the world, although a large proportion of the population lives along the temperate south-eastern coastline. Melbourne reached first place on The Economist's 2011 World's Most Livable Cities list, followed by Sydney, Perth, and Adelaide in sixth, eighth, and ninth place respectively.

The climate of Australia is significantly influenced by ocean currents, including the Indian Ocean Dipole and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, which is correlated with periodic drought, and the seasonal tropical low pressure system that produces cyclones in northern Australia. These factors induce rainfall to vary markedly from year to year. Much of the northern part of the country has a tropical predominantly summer rainfall (monsoon) climate. The southwest corner of the country has a Mediterranean climate. Much of the southeast (including Tasmania) is temperate.

Australian wine is produced in 60 distinct production areas, mainly in the southern, cooler parts of the country. The wine regions in each of these states produce different wine varieties and styles that take advantage of local climates and soil types. In 1995, an Australian red wine, Penfolds Grange, won the Wine Spectator award for Wine of the Year, the first time a wine from outside France or California achieved this distinction.

Tomorrow we will do a study of the animals found on the continent of Australia. (See a topographical map of Australia at the bottom of my page.)

Hello Angel Sylvia Seville!
It was our pleasure to vote for you! Yeah, Mom has many special angels she still keeps in her heart. We have seen their photos, from a long time before us. We expect that when its our time to cross the Rainbow Bridge, we will get formal introductions. It's always good to have friends on your side of the Bridge. Mom says someone's gotta keep us in line, and she expects them to do it! Mol! Now that we've met more special Angels like you, we know we'll have lots of friends over there! Many purrs, H,N & J

We are all special, and we are all still loved
and our parents will always remember us with smiles and tears. Mom is visited by Angel Anna quite often still, probably because she left Mom and Dad so quickly and unexpectedly. They never really got to say a proper goodbye. Angel Anna may never actually "leave" here, and that's OK. You keep visiting your Dad and comforting him. He needs that!
