Palm Cove

We are in Palm Cove just up the coast from Cairns. It is a tropical paradise with a beach, palm trees and a rainforest just across the main highway. It has rained both mornings here but by the afternoon everything clears up and is fine. You can't swim here this time of year because of sting rays, posionous jellyfish, sharks and crocodiles, other than that, no worries. Yesterday we went out 50 miles in the Coral Sea to a large pontoon on the Great Barrrier Reef. You can scuba, snorkel or take a semi-submersible sub to see the reef. The snorkeling wasn't good, so we took the sub twice. The reef is beautiful with all different types and colors of coral and fish, it was a real fun time. Tomorrow we are on to Sydney.
