The Esplanade

I am sitting on the patio -- yes, the patio-- of a McDonald's (only free wifi in town, or "wee fee" as my French hostel-mate calls it), overlooking the Coral Sea and listening to a blues guitarist play the Beatles (really well). He has two British flags behind him. He just said, "Kon ban wa" to two Japanese travellers (Good evening, I think).

Looking out at the water I am buzzing with excitement for diving this weekend. Going on the Reef Encounter for two days. It's getting toward the rainy season, so conditions aren't great, but I cannot be here and not go diving on the Great Barrier Reef!

Tomorrow is a tour to Cooktown -- 7 am til 9:30 pm. Really looking forward to it. I could stay here for a bit longer....so so chill.
