Beth, Crystal & I are in a Palm Cove 2 bedroom apartment. Have just finished lunch - not certain of the time, due to Queensland doing the time change thing. Sydney doesn't. The other 2 are grocery and "spirits" shopping and I offered to return to get the managers to get our lap tops working. We are now set so more Sea Mail to follow. And after a much needed rest I will work on posting Monday's photos. Our apartment is wonderful with several balconies, all with ocean views, a hot tub, pool with waterfall......the works. As of now and depending on the weather, Beth and Crystal will snorkel the Reef tomorrow and I will spend most of the day in the swimming area and shopping. Yes, I left most of my beach/pool things in Sydney. My mind also decided to go on vacation. The Reef is having some White Bleach problems at the moment. I have no idea what that means but was able to see it while flying in. Reception says the stingers aren't bad yet, but I plan to be VERY careful. Now if someone could do something about this Houston type heat and humidity. I thought I left it far beyond, but wouldn't have missed coming here for the world. I highly recommend this village and this complex. We think the Navigator is in Cairns today but we are a 30 minute drive north and the ship(s) we see in the distance don't look like "our girl". Will write more later but I am positive the others will add more details. Today is the 1st time I wish I was a beer drinker. So many varieties and they all look so cooling.
