It’s supposed to be warm in Queensland… right?
Because I’m not.
I’m cold. 24 degrees is not sitting by the pool weather for me and certainly not in the bikini I’m really too old and too fat to wear. But if I were to sit by the pool I would be able to wash my feet of sand with this nifty water footbath. Very clever.
The footbath leads from the artificial beach to the paved poolside area
The pool really is more of a lagoon with 1000 tropical fish. Yes you swim with the fish. It’s a little gross when the guy feeds them with bits of squid but entertaining…
The lagoon has a waterfall and a tunnel slide as well.
This is the view from my balcony. Two pods of whales swam past today apparently. I missed both.
By the way… it’s MUCH cheaper to eat out over here! Went out to lunch today at a little beachside cafe… of average flashness. Lunch was $9.90. I had a red prawn curry. There must have been about 12 large prawns. You would have paid more like $20 in Perth. And it was really tasty.
If anything underlined how expensive Perth has become that would be it.

Heh, 24 degrees for the middle of winter is pretty warm
Mmm, prawn curry sounds good. $9.90 is pretty good too. I think a lunch time curry in Newtown (Sydney) might be $7, but Newtown is the Thai capital of Sydney (pretty much).
29 deg in Karrachi today but I think I’d rather be where you are! Hope the conference goes well. Can’t wait to hear all about it before next cyclone season!
Thanks for the tip on the weather, Firegazer and I are going to Qld on Sunday so I guess I’d better pack a jumper.
BTW have tagged you for one of those silly memes. Bleh.
I went snorkeling in there! It was a much colder day than 24 degrees but I was so fascinated by the fish I didn’t care – the other half had to drag me shivering and shaking out of that pool..

12 Prawns!!!?
My Mum always said it was bad manners to count your food.
‘Ever hear that? : )
LOL.
Well about 12… I didn’t actually count them but lined their little tails along the edge of the bowl as there wasn’t a side dish…
