We caught a bus into town again. We, as in Donna and I, explored the shops and Donna found a lovely dress to wear for the afternoon cruise. We had another coffee at the Green Mango Cafe and retuned to our accommodation.

At 1pm, we were picked up and taken to the beach our cruise boat was leaving from. We were given a Matso’s ginger beer for the trip.

We waded to our tender boat and joined the 16 other guests for a splendid afternoon on the water.

Our first three courses were standing up. Our delightful crew of Hallie, Chloe and Coel kept our drinks topped up and the chef, Will kept the food coming. In between courses, we could wander around the boat.

The weather was perfect; our seven courses of seafood and dessert were delicious; the company was great. What more could a person ask for?How about a pod of whales swimming past the front of our boat?

A rack of Mother of Pearl oysters was pulled up and Donna selected the first one to open. No pearl in this one but we were given a taste of its meat. The second one had a magnificent pearl.

The boat then travelled to Cable Beach and anchored. We indulged in the final four courses at tables and sat with our new friends, John and Judy.

Dessert was served as the sun set on the horizon.

What a magical day!
