Ellis Beach and Bon Voyage

After finding our RV campsite by the cabin at Ellis Beach we headed into Palm Cove about 5 km away and found a nice restaurant for our Valentine meal.  This was our last dining out together.  The next morning we were up early had a picture on the beach and headed for the airport in Cairns where Irene and Neil took the plane back Sydney.

Saying goodbye to Irene and Neil was hard as we have been living together in very close quarters for the last 5 weeks.  Everything worked out so well for us and now Rose and I will it find it very different on our own.

Irene and Neil flew from Cairns to Sydney and had one last night in Australia.  They made good use of the time by going back to Darling Harbour and found out Rod Stewart was having a concert there and at the last minute they managed to get tickets. We spoke to them by phone later that night and it sounded like they had a great tinme - what a way to end therre Australia trip.  Today they left at noon on the plane to Vancouver - another 15 hour flight.
