Mark went for a morning jog on the Esplanade, picked up some breakfast and then we were off to the airport. Our flight was run by a small service in general aviation. We were the only people on the plane so it was like a private charter. It was a very small plane which Mark enjoys but I don’t like. There were 6 seats, and 1 of them was occupied by the pilot. I just don’t like being that close to the pilot. Especially when he’s reading and filling in his log book while he’s flying. Ai yi yi.
The flight was an hour and we flew right over parts of the great barrier reef. I didn’t realize how huge it is. Amazing.
We landed on Lizard Island and we were greeted by Ruth who took us to the resort where we were served pink champagne and then we had lunch. Then we got the tour of the resort and our room. This is by far the nicest and most beautiful place we have ever stayed in. It defines luxury. Our room is magnificent. It overlooks the ocean and has a big comfortable deck. There are only 20 of the 40 rooms occupied so there is hardly anyone around. The service is superb.
In the afternoon we went for a dip in the pool and then sat out on the beach. On the way to the beach there was a giant lizard, about 2 ½ feet long. It is a reminder of why they named the island. We watched a beautiful sunset and then got ready for dinner. Our dinner was delicious. Mark got adventurous and had the kangeroo filet. Yikes.
Tomorrow Mark is going on an all day dive and I am going to lounge on the beach.
