Thursday Island AUS Feb 25th

Stopped at Thursday Island Australia this morning. We skipped our excursion to take a walk around the island. It is not a very large island and there is a walking trail all the way around the outside along the beaches and cliffs overlooking the ocean. The weather was slightly rainy, but nothing too bad. Our hiking trail had some water and mud on it from all the recent rains. Nothing that washing our hiking shoes off won't take care of. The unfortunate part of the visit was that it is a very small island and it's Sunday, so almost all of the shops and pubs are closed today. So we did not have a chance to look around like usual. There was one small cafe open and we picked up a slice of banana bread which was really good and also an orange sponge cake with almonds.
Then back on the tinder for our ride back to the ship which is docked just off shore.Read more
