What is the right description for a feeling that has excitement for what's next and trepidation for the unknown and then sprinkled with a little melancholic sadness for departing ? I don't know either, but I'm sure both Teresa and I felt it as we said goodbye to Mya and then Brian dropped us at the ferry to continue or journey. We had a wonderful yet productive almost 2 weeks on Magnetic Island with Brian and Mya. We also spent a fair amount of time ( always at meal time, go figure ) with their scholarly neighbor Scotty. Thank you Brian and Mya for the wonderful food and experience while staying with you.
Not to pick on Teresa but the picture of the book and the view of the ocean exemplifies most of her non-work time activities. She loved it !!!
We fed the Lorikeets, colorful little buggars.
We made it up to Cairns about 5.30 on Monday. No rain the whole way. We had a message on our phone to contact our roomie Ronan, but with my non-existent French and his broken English we had a tough time hooking up. But we eventually made it.
So we're here now. We're staying at the Mantra Amphora resort. One of the Boutique Collection properties. Really nice. We are on the third floor overlooking the sign, looking directly at the ocean.
It never gets old does it Brian ? We even heard a Curlew last night. No wallabies eating the plants here though.
