Just another day here in Whitsunday paradise. We lolled around in our lovely room, reading on the terrace, until heading off to breakfast in the late morning. Quite the copious buffet spread. We sampled most everything, then sat for a while enjoying the beach-front setting. […]

We were again serenaded by the wild cawing of the local aviary population for our wake-up call. We made our way along the boardwalk through the thick rainforest to breakfast, where we grabbed the remaining little chocolate croissants, had a couple delicious toasted english-muffin type things and some […]

This place is a hoot, and a scream. Literally! We slept to the aquatic and animal sounds of the rainforest and toward the morning were awakened by various jungle cries of what we presumed to have been birds, though some of them could have been monkeys. […]

We partook of another leisurely morning around the breakfast table of Lesley and Alister before heading back to the cottage to pack up and depart.
We drove an hour or so to the little town of Geraldine, where we saw a sign for their museum of antique vehicles. […]

We love those electric blankets (and thought of you, JD!), but not this mattress, which feels like a squishy waterbed. A lovely breakfast, then we waited a bit for Alister to come by in his pickup and pick us up. The three of us squeezed into the […]

We switched roles for a morning - Milton stayed in and made some phone calls while Wendy went into town to do some errands. We (with great sadness!) checked out of our Nugget Point apartment and headed, yet again, for Wanaka and The White House, though this morning […]

Milton so enjoyed mountain biking with Tony, and Wendy so enjoyed the peace and relaxation, that we reprised our same activities again this morning. Tony had astutely ascertained that perhaps a less challenging experience was in order, so we rode the long path around the lake. It was, of course, wonderously beautiful, with […]

Another crystal clear and cool day here in fun city. About 9:00, Milton drove into town to meet up with Tony, his mountain biking guide for the morning. Picked up a kick-ass Gary Fisher double suspension bike and the two of us set off for Skipper’s Canyon. […]
