I was looking forward to the weekend after
completing 3 days of training. I had plans to venture further to other
places in Perth. Coincidentally our sponsors have already made
arrangements for a leisure outing on Saturday. We were told to be ready by 10.30am for our ferry cruise in Mandurah. I have been on a few cruises before and the most memorable was the Venice Cruise or so called Gondola ride. In fact the Malacca river cruise was quite an experience too. Certainly I was looking forward to what can be different about Mandurah cruise and was eagerly looking forward to it.
The drive from MsMaud to Mandurah located in south Perth was approximately an hour.
While
waiting for the rest and to kill time, we walked as far as we can to view the
entire vicinity.
Just like us, there were many other people who were in Mandurah, some sitting and taking shade under the big trees while the rest were relaxing at the cafes.
We continued strolling further
before making a turn, back to the spot where we were suppose to join
everyone to board the vessel. I was told that our one hour Dolphin and
Scenic Canal Cruise or Lunch Cruise is one of the most popular which
glides through the world class calm inlands of Mandurah.
At about 12pm,
we boarded the vessel in front of the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre.
The vessel picked up the momentum and cruised through the sheltered
waters of Mandurah.
Our Part 2 will follow through soon.
Nothing more enjoyable than a calming, peaceful cruise, get to see and experience both land and water and have time to daydream and mull things. That 6th photo reminds me of the Taiping Lake Gardens way back in the past. Harks back to the good 'ole days minus the hustle and bustle.
