23. October – A day at the beach

Today is a day at the beach. But in the night, it didn’t look like as a bad thunderstorm hits the Island.

But in the morning, the sun is shining at least until noon…

Wendein tries to catch a coconut for Annette – in vain!  Just as we jumped in the water, there were again big dark clouds in the sky. We have to hurry back to the place, where our shed has been (even if we had allready checked-out) – because we had things to dry there.

Okay – if it rains – let’s have lunch!

That’s the kitchen, where we prepared our muesli for breakfast and our luncheon – the rest of the yesterday dinner…

Afternoon, we had some time for a swim before we got the ferry back to the mainland. Great Keppel Island was in any case a wonderful excursion!

We grab our car, drive the 50 km back to Rocky and check in again at the Denison Boutique Hotel. This time, we have a room at the groundfloor, that prevents us from carrying our whole stuff in the upper floor and back.

It’s a fancy hotel – with high, old fashioned rooms. After check-in, we drive to the airport where we have to return the car und take a taxi back to town. We take a walk then through Australia’s „Meat Capital“, as Rockhampton calls itself. And just next door, in the „Western Hotel“ we have dinner – and an animated talk with a jung couple from Crailsheim / Germany.

Tomorrow, we have to get up early, because our train leaves at 7:10 in the morning.

It’s the „Tilt Train“ – if anybody is interessted in:
