Lovely to see a Frank,Wendy and also Alun and Wendy. We had a very nice visit

Today we were in Cooktown. I looked out and thought we would not be tendering but I was wrong. It was a bit rocky going in but everyone was happy to get ashore.

We went on a tour and ithe highlight was a really "fair dinkum" pub where they had a coin operated phone and a notice "please remember to check and see if you have mail before leaving" . Many types of beer and really good looking pizzas that locals were eating. While we there it started raining really hard but stopped by the train me we got back on the bus. There was a field with cows and a camel. Not sure I have ever seen those two animals n a field before.

Coming back it was rough but we have experienced worse before. The guests cheered the tender driver on arrival at the ship.
