We all slept in late then stayed in bed and read until we were hungry. Then we strolled down the foreshore to have brunch at a cafe. On the way my son and I stopped to chat to a kooky (but lovely) local chap about the storm brewing offshore and the fact that yet again this year's rainy season has been nowhere near rainy enough.
Next stop was a visit to Rainbow Jungle parrot breeding centre.
It was fabulous. My daughter's favourites were a pair of enormous and gregarious macaws.
I couldn't choose a favourite but I know which one wasn't my favourite: the one that shat on me. Apparently that is very lucky but I sure didn't feel lucky.
On the way out some members of my party stuck to local custom and stuck their entry stickers on the rubbish bin and sign. (Not me. Too prissy.)
Just after we left the storm finally hit.
My partner has chosen our activity for tomorrow: he has booked us in for a canoe safari down the Murchison River. Yesterday when is was calm and sunny and 23 degrees that seemed like a grand idea. Tonight with the storm crashing and howling outside I'm not so sure.
