Day 33 - Hayman Island, Queensland









Another lazy day spent by the pool, wandering along the beach and swimming.

One of the daily highlights is the flight of the bats. There's a large colony of fruit bats living in the trees behind our room. During the day they squabble and squawk as they jockey for the coolest and breeziest positions high in the branches. Once dusk falls they're full of beans and swoop and circle the resort as they make their way off to another island for their nightly scoff. There's hundreds of them and they look like loads of Batman signals being beamed into the orange sky. The posh people of course aren't interested as they're all in the bar quaffing their sundowners so we have the nightly show all to ourselves.

That's it for luxury for us now, we're back on the Sun Goddess tomorrow to whisk us back to lovely Airlie Beach. We do indulge ourselves though by watching the last two episodes of The Sopranos before bed - remember, crime doesn't pay folks.

Night night. xx
