So, once we were dropped off at Penneshaw, we went up to the markets that they were running and spent more than I normally would have on various bits of jewellery and other things.
Then we went to a local cafe and had lunch - delicious meal of fish & chips. We topped this up with a walk on the beach and then went to catch a tender back to the ship. It took quite a long time because lots of people decided to go back to the ship at the same time. A couple of ship's crew were very unhappy because they apparently didn't consider the risk of long queues and needed to get back to the ship quickly to start work, but the Princess officer waiting near us in the queue refused to give them a break and told them to go to the back of the line.
After we returned had a wander around the ship to do stuff like checking out tonight's dinner menu. We then tried a cocktail each - Adam had raspberry baileys which he enjoyed (I didn't really like it) while I had something called Dusk which if I remember correctly contained coconut rum, Midori and banana liqueur topped up with pineapple juice. It was delicious!
Later in the afternoon:
Last tender from Penneshaw was meant to leave at 4:00. It's 4:30 right now, and there are still two tenders out there, presumably waiting for missing tour groups.
4:45: Another tender is just heading out from the ship to Penneshaw. Hopefully they're just picking up the last of the Princess staff and gear (e.g. their big umbrella, iced water buckets etc) from the dock.
Finally left port an hour or so late, but it isn't a long sail to Port Lincoln. This was the first time we have sailed in anything remotely like open sea since we left Adelaide and unfortunately Adam got seasick. He didn't throw up, just felt miserable and couldn't sleep. He finally said something about midnight and I gave him a couple of Kwells so eventually he managed some sleep.
