We are ready for our second port day on our Australian adventure... and it's a good thing because this is the most intimidating port we've ever been to! The local taxi drivers are INSANE... they were literally pushing at the fence and gates! We bypassed the taxi's and took a water taxi to the port to explore the markets. Let's go!
