We decide to check out the evening sights at Palm Cove and see if the silvertails are doing as well as we are. Lots of vacancy signs and if you turn up at one of the chic places you can get a room for $60 a night. Book on the net and the same room is $260. There are a pair of Rollers parked conspicuously outside one resort like a couple of watchdogs. Definitely not our speed. We decide it's a nice place but we like our digs at Ellis Beach just a few kilometres away. Liz makes a mental note of one of the restaurants for future reference.
Back at Ellis Beach we decide to have a quiet evening, just the usual pre-dinner drinks and snacks followed by one of Wendy's sensational culinary delights. I think it was Spag Bol a la Princess. Nick and I terrorise the neighbourhood with our headlamps. We've a big day tomorrow, up early for an 8:30am departure from Cairns out to Green Island. Wendy and I were last there 42 years ago so it will be interesting to see the changes. We've been told it will be an unpleasant shock... not like the old Green Island.
