May 1st Lizard Island, Day 2
After a wonderful nights sleep on the best bed we’ve ever slept on, we had an early breakfast and then Mark went off for a day’s worth of diving. I worked out at the gym, did some shopping and bought a new bathing suit, swam in the pool and hung out at the beach. Very busy day.
Mark’s dive was fantastic. He saw huge Potato Cod that he went up to and pet. Yikes. He said the colors of the reefs and the thousands of fish are overwhelming. When they got back from their 2 dives the boat captain lured some big nurse sharks with fish. And then this big black grouper came and snatched the fish away. I’m glad I missed that.
We hung out on our deck for some pre-dinner drinks and watched the sunset and all the wildlife. Big brown lizards, something that looked like a pheasant, white doves with black tails, and of course lots of sea gulls. The view of the ocean through the palm trees is so beautiful.
We went to the DVD viewing of Mark’s dive which was very fun. I got to meet a bunch of the people he dove with. One couple was from New Hampshire. They are the first people we have met from the US. Then we had another delicious dinner and marveled at the full moon. Well almost full. Tomorrow will be officially the full moon. We never want to leave here, it is paradise.
