Despite appearances, this is NOT Betty. It's Crystal. I can't remember my login, so Betty was kind enough to let me use her account (and computer--the wifi here doesn't seem to like my ipad).

Because we just didn't have enough airplane time getting to Sydney, we took another flight this morning, as noted above, this time to Cairns, then transferred to Palm Cove. Loving this place. Beth and I explored the town today, including the above-referenced "spirits" store, then took a swim in the cement pond (really, the pool is cement bottomed). Tomorrow, the Reef!
