We spent the next day resting and then on Tuesday we ventured out to Fremantle, we joined this replica of an old Fremantle tram and did the town tour. Hopped of at the Maritime Museum and explored the history of all sorts of boats including the real Australia 2 that won the Americas Cup in 1983.

Wednesday was Watergate repair day we had to get a few little things patched up ,like fly screen and a recall on the electric awning nothing major.

Thursday we decided we liked Fremantle that much we thought we would go see some more, Steve did a tour into a real submarine and the rest of us made our way to the Shipwreck Galleries where we got to go on a treasure hunt. Samuel loved it and we learnt heaps about the spices trade of long ago and the wreck of the Batavia and other ships in the western seas. After lunch at the waterfront fish shop we caught the train into the city for a walk around the mall and the city admiring the old building and churches still standing among the skyscrapers.
