Relaxing on the deck before changing to go to the pool

WE went snorkeling all morning.

A lot of beautiful and colorful coral.

I did not take my camera with me as we 

were in the water the whole morning.

We took a glass of wine and just crossed

the lawn to have a look at the sunset

Catching the last rays

 

Later on when we went to the restaurant the

sky was a beautiful red behind the clouds

and I did not have my camera....

Early in the morning we decided to go on one of the island walk.

We reached the top.

And met a family from Weipa.
