We boarded the ship about 8:00 last evening after spending the night in Cairns. Bus made the trip ok but it took 3 hrs instead of the previous 1 by coast road. Over the mountains through Kuranda again then down to Cairns. Nice to have a chance to see the town and have dinner along the esplanade. We did see rock slides and high water along the road but were able to pass.
Ship nice and room great! We bought three bottles of wine in the airport and brought them aboard and then received one from agent. That should hold us for a few cocktails on the veranda. Lovely! Blankets here for use on veranda as it is getting cooler and cooler as we travel south. Pool not looking inviting to me at all although there is a cover if necessary. Sun is out today...a nice change from the rain of two days. Tomorrow we see Rotoura and Hells Gate area. Several tour days in a row now.
Dale and Dennis up early to exercise but lazy Buelows slept in today!!
Love the shot of the rocks (boulders? tiny mountains?) in the sea. You've been going great guns, enjoy your cocktails on the veranda and sleep in as much as you need.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you made it! I was getting worried. We are nowhere near ready for our trip and may put it off a day or so. The photos are beautiful. I can't wait to see them when you return. Ethan received his koala bear postcard and was very interested in the stamp. He said he didn't know "why it was necessary." I explained and he said "still."
